We moved 5 times in our first 18 months here because most of what was rentable were on the market & you'd have 24-48 hours to move out. Quite stresful! And unfortunately, that is a Wyo law - when you are living on a month-to-month basis in a home of any sort, i.e. - no lease, you can be told to leave in 24 hours. Is tricky....but welcome - and I hope the job at the prison works out for you!! The housing situation isn't any or much better in Lusk, but might be a little better so could consider the Women's prison if Rawlins just doesn't work out.

Hey, that's not a bad thing. hahahaha My company sent me down to Grand Prairie Texas. Said it was going to be 6 to 8 weeks. So I took my 5th wheel. 4 years later, I come back home. hahaha

If you want to live and survive in Rawlins, a 5th wheel or even a bumper pull can be home. They work. Hey, think about this. How much bed do you need? hahahaha A queen sized bed in a 5th wheel is the same sized queen sized bed in a $1500 a month apartment.

A space at the local camp ground is a fair price and you will not meet better folk. Met a lot of folk, never met a bad one. haha But, you gotta be quick to meet folks, cause tomorro they are gone.

Who doesn't remember the 1980's in Gillette when ppl were living in caves!!!! I had a friend in the 1970's in Lyman who lived in a 25' pull-along camper (that INCLUDED the hitch) & lived there with a baby for 4 years. That was when Lyman had almost NO housing - population was 365. ~!!~ Is amazing how you can get by when you have to. When we lived in the truck I went to a place where they were putting in a campground (never WAS finished) but had COLD water there so that's where I would get ready for work. BRRRRR!!!!!!!! July or not (and it WAS a chilly July in 87) but cold water 1st thing in the morning will SURE wake your backside up!!!
