Wild Bunch outlaw Tom O’Day may not have entered Casper willingly (in 1903, he was tried and jailed for stealing a herd of horses nearby), but many emigrants did. They traveled through the heart of Wyoming on the Oregon, California Mormon and Pony Express Trails. Wyoming’s second-largest city is found along the North Platte River, with Casper Mountain rising 3,000 feet above.
Best Place to Buy Land: East Casper; quite a bit of new development in that area.
Average House Cost: $150,000-$300,000.
Favorite Local Cuisine: Good ol’ American cuisine! Try Poor Boys Steak House (739 N. Center St.), known for its steak, chicken, seafood—and a great bucket o’ salad before every meal!
What’s the latest gossip? Most folks are talking politics—it’s all about the Presidential Campaign!
