[snowman0u812]

does anyone have any info on muddy gap as far as location, population, stuff like that? thanks

Well, Muddy Gap is in the middle of nowhere. It has a population of about 10. It's 77 miles from Casper and 43 miles from Rawlins.

Casper is a good shopping meca where as Rawlins will only have the basics.

There's THAT MANY in Muddy Gap??? Coulda' fooled me!! But imagine they are including about a 10 sq. mile area for that population... yup - is definitely in the middle of nowhere but isn't a bad area - I kind of like it between there & Riverton. Not sure how far it is to Riverton - 60 miles or so??

Close, it's 81 miles of nothing to get to Riverton. haha

And the 10 was a guess. Might have been a tourist broke down with kids running all over when I last went through. So I mistook them for residents. haha

Is out in the middle of nowhere, but I kinda' like it there. There ARE a couple of homes up on the hill to the east between Jeffry City & Muddy Gap - probably counting those. I can't IMAGINE what anybody would do there to make a living - I sure wouldn't live there & work anywhere else - too far - but is the best route to get from Rawlins to Cody in the winter - that trip from the
Gap to Riverton even tho not many ppl on it, seems protected from the really bad snows. Have taken it several times.

thanks for the info everyone, i was just wondering because wydot has a job posted for there

[deadgoon]

I passed through there a few years ago, there's nothing there except maybe a boarded up gas station. Really, I think it's just a fork in the road with some signs posted. Maybe they keep blowing over and WyDOT needs someone to pick them up.

Being that I live at Muddy gap. I figure I'm most qualified............ There is a gas station there and its open. The most active business is the Mormons have the Hand cart center at Devils gate. (you should see the number of busses come here on the average day!!!!!!!!!!). The wind is pretty fierce here especialy during the winter. There is about 20 people here (especialy if you count cats and dogs)!!!!!!!!

I haven't been there in years, but all it is, is a junction in the highway between 3 towns: Casper, Riverton, Lander
