And that wouldn't explain why the OP claims to have seen only a few women during the time they were here. Frontier Days is very much a family affair and women rodeo fans are just as fanatical as men.

As well, the women have their riding events, too ... neighbors here are big time barrel racers on the pro circuit and Cheyenne is a big event on their calendar. One neighbor always hosts a bunch of her girl friend competitors from the pro barrel racing circuit ... their place is usually mobbed for a few weeks with all the trailers and the additional rodeo stock.

10 years worth of memory fog?

Wyoming officials stroll to lunch down Capitol Avenue in Cheyenne, circa 2007:

I dunno if you are serious. That shot is the movies. Common 80-120 years ago if you are talking reality.

a movie scene ...

perhaps re-enacted on the streets during Frontier Days by a couple of actors and maybe some wanna' be's.

But to suggest that it's the norm for folk here and that there aren't any women on the streets, too ...

is pure nonsense. And you'll not see many folk who aren't LEO's packing heat on their hip with big six-shooters in full display, either.

There is the possibility that perhaps there was a convention in the City that day.......but the men we saw in Black clothing resembled the ones in the picture......except we saw no guns.....and most of them were very-good looking......


We love Cowboys.....

Ok, now...would you just STOP it ? I am SERIOUS...they were HERE !

...and because of my (current) D.O.D. connections & responsibilities, I HAVE to report for mandatory (random) blood & urine-tests...so ain't no 'ganga' (or any other) smoking going on, on MY side of the screen/keyboard, you can be assured of that !

Oops! My bad. They won't be walking around. They're too wasted to walk anywhere.

We stopped by downtown Cheyenne, and noticed that most of the people on the street we were at, were males, wore all black clothing, many had long coats, and everyone had huge hat and boots. I assume they lived there, and were cowboys. Since we were outsiders, from New York City, we felt that it was not conducive to ask any questions.

With all due respect, Is this the way that most males in Cheyenne dress, all in Black? We only saw a woman in a store we went into. Can you enlighten us as to the customs of Cheyenne? Greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.....

I don't even live in Cheyenne, but stayed there for a week years ago and wife and I have been to Frontier Days..........we never saw anyone that looked like that. The kind of coat your talking about could be a western slicker, but only a gunfighter/actor would be wearing ones of those. And, some of them wear all-black as well. As for the hat, some Montana cowboy hats have a large brim. I knew a roper, who was from Montana, who wore a rather large brimmed cowboy hat. He was living in So California. As far as boots go, cowboy boots could easily be "the norm" in Cheyenne (I guess).

But, from what you are describing, sure doesn't sound like "Cheyenne" to me, except for the boots.

Sounds like OP might have stumbled across a movie set. A "Men in Black" or "The Matrix" pilot perhaps? LOL
