*HomeBoySCOTTY's not dead...troll. In fact mentioning that HomeBoySCOTTY is dead is gonna get you banned from this channel* *Ain't nothing but a GOOOOTH THAAANG, Ain't nothing but. GOOOOTH THAAANG....yeah, well...that's Rick Ross for you*
I’m from Casper and yeah the entire fuckin place is cursed. I’m not even joking, every single person has had AT LEAST one weird, scary, completely unexplainable experience. Especially on the mountain and by the river. I swear to god that entire city is just under one big nasty curse.
Casper is also known for its famous art exhibitions by talented photographer Clint Saunders! Yeah buddy man is extremely talented! (doesnt smell as good as his son tho)
HomeDadClintCFS is a sexy, goth badboy photographer toobz...that's what's up.... *BuuuuuuuuuT* he is known to carry on about all the Of-Age Walnut he got warm and wet back in the day and nobody wants to hear your conquests old man!!!
Frosty's is my favorite restaurant. One night a good smelling goth guy was yelling and pissed off because he spilled his beer, otherwise a great place.
I'm not from Casper but I've heard it has a thriving art scene including theatre troupe's and handmade crafts from local artisans. Those are pros in my book.
@@alishacollinsrealestate I don't know if you have anyone picked out but there a theatre actor in Casper named Clint Saunders. That would be a fun interview. Thanks.
I would absolutely have to disagree with you there. I studied the arts at the college there and I can say that you’re hard pressed to find a diverse music or art scene there. If you’re not enrolled in the college, you’re not performing. The shows that the college does put on are fantastic, but that’s about the extent you’ll get. Wyoming focuses a lot of state resources on education.
The sweet tea is never very sweet though...but the lobby was always clean. There used to be a homeless man who hung out in the lobby eating apples and he did a trick with the ice machine but folks didn't like the way he looked at their NOT OF-AGE daughters...I think they ran him outta town.
B.S. Born and raised in Casper, 1.have never seen Elk in Casper,unless it was dead in the back of a pick up during hunting season. There is a small elk herd on muddy Mountain just south of Casper Mountain, I have never seen them wander into town. 2. It's easier to count the days the wind doesn't blow. We're talking about 15 to 25 mile an hour wind average, gusting anywhere from thirty-five to 65 miles an hour. 3. Employment opportunities are pretty scarce unless the oil industry is doing well.
Dating in any place is Wyoming is challenging, in a mostly negative way. Locals get married early in life as soon their 20s. Meeting people romantically is tough because the locals are very cliquey and seem to only date other locals not outsiders.
I visited the Wendy's in Casper once, it was good but I was disappointed that the sweet tea had no sugar. I think someone might have switched the sweet tea with the regular tea. No big deal but I worry about the diabetics getting the wrong tea.

Well it seems like a nice place... but I've heared you guys got a bit of a Swamp Boglin infestation going on... if you don't know what Swamp Boglins are, they are very easily recognized by how they look and act. For generations Swamp Boglins have actually dressed up in all black attire, they usually wear filthy leather hats or bandana's to cover their genetic predisposition for baldness, you can most often find them partaking in one of their oldest customs: drinking everclear until they vomit all over themselves and boiling eggs for 7 hours straight, their passtimes usually consist of gathering sticks and cigarette buds, the sticks they use to make their iconic Swamp Boglin Magic Wands, which have the power to conjure thunderstorms and change traffic lights, often you'll see them roam outside practicing their Boglin Magic by pointing their wands at numerous lights at intersections. Although usually Swamp Boglins smell absolutely rancid, there are some who have found ways around this, the usual methods are: Sleeping in a pile of vomit Using tactical soap by rubbing it on their clothing Never showering When a boglin choses a mate, it is very important the criteria are met: Of Age Alive Cisgendered Consenting Smoking Hot Goth or any other type of alternative subgenre I hope this information can help the state of Wyoming crack down on the ever rising Boglin epidemic that is unfolding in and around Casper.
I live in a chair in Casper that this messy but good smelling goth guy got after giving his parents dog weed. Drops all sorts of food on it so me and the other chair bugs eat good twu
I'm from central Alberta and spent a few months doing some testing in the oilfields around Casper in early 2001. Had a great time during my stay...my kind of people. Loved the scenery and history of the area as well. I've been to several states but Wyoming is still my favorite.
I would love to be able to live there, but I absolutely cannot abide the wind. We were stationed in Iceland for two years and, let me tell you, I learned everything I need to know about wind while we were there.
As a former Casper resident, you are pretty spot on with everything, except the time to get to Denver. With the traffic which starts 30 miles north of Denver, I have never done it in 4 hours.
One of my good friends moved to Casper years ago and now my family and I are thinking about moving there from Missouri. I'm tired of this humidity, been here all my life and ready for a change. Casper, Wyoming sounds all good and dandy, minus the wind.
Don't listen to him Holly...he's a troll. I think that dance you and Warlord shared under the bright lights of the Christmas Tree was beautiful! For a moment that trailer kitchenette looked like Cinderella's ballroom....a beautiful wedding ceremony toobz, most beautiful in the entire park that August!
I grew up and spent most of my life in Casper and never once saw Elk roaming in or around town. Unless someone has introduced elk to Casper Mountain, you'll have to drive to Yellowstone or Jackson Hole to see elk. In and around Casper, you'll see deer and antelope and rabbits, horny toads & snakes, and sage brush & cactus. And the wind always blows. It's often like a hurricane every day, which has been attributed to the high suicide rate. They say that if the wind ever stops blowing, everyone would fall on their faces. And the old saying goes, the wind doesn't blow in Wyoming, but Nebraska sucks... If you like 10+ months of Winter and 2 weeks of Summer, you might like living in Casper. I've seen it snow in July and August. To keep my driveway clear so that I could drive to work, I often was out shoveling at 2AM just to attempt to stay ahead of it. Then the wind can come up and blow all the snow back over what you had shoveled and you have to start all over. The front of my house would disappear under the snow every single winter. My last electric bill was over $500 and I was still cold all the time. My house had electric heating... I don't miss the cold, snow, and wind at all. I moved to Florida to trade endless Winter with endless Summer, my favorite time of the year. And I can swim with Flipper every day...
Things must have changed. I lived there for 4 years and never saw an elk or turkey anywhere near Casper. Did feed deer at the base of Casper mtn. Learned to fly there. If you can fly in the wind in Casper, you can fly anywhere! I owned a 4 level home on the west side of town. It literally shook in the winter due to wind. Its Horrendous!! Anywhere east of the mountains sucks.
@@alishacollinsrealestate Do you know when Elk first began appearing in that area? They weren't there during the 35 years I lived there, so it sounds like someone has introduced them to the region. I'm guessing that a local rancher is raising elk on his property...
Moved to Casper from Utah. I'll miss Utah but the scenery of Wyoming is just as, if not more beautiful in some places. I love the culture. I was able to quickly find a job that paid the same as my old one in Utah and the housing cost is only a 3rd of Utah right now(too many people from California are moving to Utah). Casper is about 55,000 and with all the surrounding towns extremely close by it's about 63,000-65,000ish. The homes are beautiful as well. I was surprised by how many beautiful big homes were in Casper. I almost don't want to tell people back in Utah why I moved because last thing I want for Casper is the same thing that is happening to places like Saratoga Springs or American Fork, Utah. In just 5 years the prices have almost tripled and I don't think it will slow down anytime soon unfortunately.
Thanks for the info. Older man here, from WA, then NYC, then WA again. Looking for a place to move (Washington State is unlivable anymore for anyone reasonable) and I always loved Wyoming. Did some research and Casper seemed to tick all the boxes. Has everything I need. Thanks again for the first person account!
I’ve been thinking of moving to Casper, (also from Utah) & now that you mention the housing it seems more realistic. Housing among other things are getting way out of hand here lately, real unfortunate.

I live in ellensburg wa and the wind is no big deal. 1.keeps the bugs out of your face,2.cools you off,3you can fly a kite in it, it’s pretty when the wind blows through the trees.
..and the one thing she didn't mention, the heat. Wyoming is a very different climate from the Midwest.so be aware of that. During a hot sunny day, you're not going to feel the humidity. It will be like a "dry heat." So be prepared if you're going to be out on a sunny day and wear sun protection. Or you could walk away with a nasty sunburn and you won't feel It right away, but you'll wonder why your skin got so red from being outside in the sun for any length of time.
I would love to relocate to Wyoming but am concerned about the stark difference in climate from Southeast Texas. Snow/wind would be a big adjustment, but the scenery there is so beautiful, and the relatively low cost of living, it's tempting! I've seen my share of hurricanes and border entry issues I'm ready for a change.
My husband and I moved to Casper a few months ago. If you’re a cyclist (not sure if you meant that or motorbike?), you literally can’t go anywhere without feeling like you’re going to have a heart attack because of the wind pushing against you. Likely not pleasant for a motorist either. We’re already planning on leaving due to the winds and harsh winter.
@@tiadaniels1031 It's a silly joke. He says I ride bike, and I was playing off that. The Cobraverse is full of legend and lore. I've been to Wyoming during winter (not Casper) so I know exactly what you're saying.
I'm planning on retiring to Casper in a couple more years. With reference to the last part about the weather, the wind... Try living in southeastern Virginia. Summers here are _pure_ misery. High temperatures are about the same, but it's humid as hell. Nights are _no_ relief whatsoever. The temperature drops from the nineties into the mid seventies, _and you are _*_just_*_ as hot as at midday._ It's that damn humidity again. It's so bloody muggy, and there's usually _no_ breeze whatever at night, just dead still, muggy air, so that even at seventy-five degrees, the sweat can't evaporate off your skin, you can't shed heat, and you're just as miserable as you are during the day when the hot sun is beating down on you. I _hate_ summers here. I won't complain about the wind one bit.
Casper is also known the prolific drug activity! If you like drugs and domestic violence go to casper!!! The local residents just LOVE Casper!!!!. Oh yes do not forget, if you move to Casper you will have to learn how to live well below the national poverty line. And still pay premium rent for a 1 bd apartment. Job pay sucks. Even with 6 years college. Don't get sucked in.. I've been trying to escape wyo for 2yrs. Almost there!!!!!!!!!!
How is the employment out there? What are the big career moves for a city/town like Casper? I've spent the majority of my working career in the agchem/fertilizer business managing a warehouse that dealt with a lot of people from employees, farmers, and regulatory agencies and just wondering if it would translate to that kind of area for a liveable/reasonable wage for the area (granted a lot of the skills would translate regardless of the particular business I would imagine). At 35 I really want to settle in a place for a career and well, VA just isn't it for me anymore I think....lots of I guess I'd say personality coming from other states has just changed the feel and I'm sick of the humidity so wind to me is great!
The police are bored, and criminal activity is easy to spot. And about your kids, if they love wide open spaces, loves camping and fishing, its great for that. The last part of america i think. Oh and gotta love snow and cold wind!
Overall, I would say Casper is a safe place to live. As far as entertainment for children, I personally believe there needs to be a lot more of it to keep kids away from alcohol and drugs.
Casper is incredibly safe. I just moved to Tulsa OK and it was a complete culture shock. There’s low homelessness, low crime, Wyomingites do love their guns though.
My wife rates small towns with shopping and restaurant selection. Casper's selection: Home Depot YES, Lowes NO, Costco No, Sams Club YES, Kohls YES, Target YES, Walmart YES. These are the important stores see needs. Only 2 NOs, which isn't bad.
Casper has a Menard's which is an upper mid-west home/DIY store and which I find generally better than Home Depot or Lowes. Casper is the furthest west store of the Menard's chain.
Casper, and Wyoming as a whole has some of the cleanest air in North America. Very little pollution whatsoever in Wyoming air or otherwise for that matter and for many reasons, all of which are positive in my book. However I think the secluded nature, it’s physical location and low population has more to do with the quality clean air than the often windy conditions in Wyoming.
Spectrum and charter in town. Out of town there is Allure Tech and Mountain West. I am actually working on a video about this right now as many people have the same questions as you. I have sold homes to quite a few people that work from home that use the above listed services.
A pro or con depending on your outlook is that Casper is an oil town which means many of the folk there are blue collar. This means stores, entertainment, churches, and politics are focused on that demographic. The smell of the oil refinery can be noticed when the wind is right. No high alpine areas nearby but there are good ones within a few hours driving.
@@jonathangarzon2798 Not good or bad, just different tastes for different folks. I, myself, am a proud member of the International Society of Oil Field Trash. Different folk enjoy or dislike different things and that is fine, that is what makes the US great. I don't know how you got anything from my original post that could be considered derogatory to working folks.
I can't think of too many places where you can be snow skiing in the winter or water skiing in the summer less then 30 minutes from town. But that wind is terrible.
I've been looking into moving to Casper, Wyoming. In order to nullify the only main "con", maybe I'll try to get into kite flying? Everything else seems exactly perfect.
Pro: Low cost of living and housing in comparison to most other states Con: Long, cold, windy winters brrrrrr Pro: Very pretty countryside and tons of outdoor sports year round. Con: Always has been a serious drug and alcohol problem in Wyoming,
Pro: wands will never be in short supply thanks to your local humble autistic wand making wizard who smells really good and single handedly defeated ISIS with his magical powers yeeeeahh buddy TWU
I know that trout fishing is the thing there. I can't find anything referencing any other fishing. Send me link that talks about other fish and places to find them. Catfish, walleye, crappie, etc. Are these in the lakes? Is it possible to catch from the bank? Are there accesses to the lake banks to fish?
There's rumors of a bell towered mansion on the outskirts of town. Is that true or is it more of an urban legend?

Well it seems like a nice place... but I've heared you guys got a bit of a Swamp Boglin infestation going on... if you don't know what Swamp Boglins are, they are very easily recognized by how they look and act.
For generations Swamp Boglins have actually dressed up in all black attire, they usually wear filthy leather hats or bandana's to cover their genetic predisposition for baldness, you can most often find them partaking in one of their oldest customs: drinking everclear until they vomit all over themselves and boiling eggs for 7 hours straight, their passtimes usually consist of gathering sticks and cigarette buds, the sticks they use to make their iconic Swamp Boglin Magic Wands, which have the power to conjure thunderstorms and change traffic lights, often you'll see them roam outside practicing their Boglin Magic by pointing their wands at numerous lights at intersections.
Although usually Swamp Boglins smell absolutely rancid, there are some who have found ways around this, the usual methods are:
Sleeping in a pile of vomit
Using tactical soap by rubbing it on their clothing
Never showering
When a boglin choses a mate, it is very important the criteria are met:
Of Age
Alive
Cisgendered
Consenting
Smoking Hot
Goth or any other type of alternative subgenre

Makes me miss the Town I was Born in 9/30/54, Casper. Grew up 17 miles east went to school in Glenrock!
I think Alisha is one of the pros
That and the cy bar
The truckstops are the best place to eat with the truck drivers passing through keeping it busy
Sounds like a dream town💖
Can't wait to visit soon..
When you come to Casper look me up! Thank you for watching
You do a great job, Alisha!
👍👏
Thank you so much!!!
@@alishacollinsrealestate Thanks Alisha!
*Casper is like paradise*
I miss it.
*LOVE WYOMING*
I'm from Alabama and I've been thinking about moving out there; whatcha think, Yoran?
@@crookedbowtiemedia9726 Nowhere is perfect. But if you like peace and nature and some good old folks, you'll love it.
You had me at no crowds!
And mostly NO TRAFFIC!
@@alishacollinsrealestate Is there lot of space to ride bike?
@@RavenThePlayer lots and lots of space!
@@RavenThePlayer only if you don’t pawn your bike to pay for some little ceasars (not a sponsor)
That’s what’s up! The weather is controlled by local Satanists
A very BIG "pro" about Wyoming (including Casper) that was not mentioned is......Clean Air relative to most of the country!
Tactical soap dood, keeps the town smelling really good TWU
I live in ellensburg wa and the wind is no big deal. 1.keeps the bugs out of your face,2.cools you off,3you can fly a kite in it, it’s pretty when the wind blows through the trees.
That'd be a change of pace from the coastal cities.
Lived in Wyoming my whole life, just went to downtown Casper for the first time by accident because
Did you like Casper better than your hometown?
..and the one thing she didn't mention, the heat. Wyoming is a very different climate from the Midwest.so be aware of that. During a hot sunny day, you're not going to feel the humidity. It will be like a "dry heat." So be prepared if you're going to be out on a sunny day and wear sun protection. Or you could walk away with a nasty sunburn and you won't feel It right away, but you'll wonder why your skin got so red from being outside in the sun for any length of time.
My friend Josh lives there. He says it's great for of-age, cis gendered and alive women.
F**k sickos
Good town to go broke in.
Not too long ago 36,000 houses stood empty.
This is a great video. Full of useful information. thanks
Thank you for watching!
Good morning I'm really interested in Casper Wyoming. For low budget $25,000 coworker is rent affordable
I would love to relocate to Wyoming but am concerned about the stark difference in climate from Southeast Texas. Snow/wind would be a big adjustment, but the scenery there is so beautiful, and the relatively low cost of living, it's tempting! I've seen my share of hurricanes and border entry issues I'm ready for a change.
I totally understand. It's snowing today but it is beautiful to watch through the window! I do love the snow though.
@@alishacollinsrealestate is the snow natural?
I hate texas
I can't see a single reason to move to Wyoming, unless you currently live in Florida. Can you?

Nice to know people care and help mutually
I lived there for a while,it's a nice place
yay time to learn more about my home
I ride bike so how would I get to concerts?
Wait until the weather’s permittable
My husband and I moved to Casper a few months ago. If you’re a cyclist (not sure if you meant that or motorbike?), you literally can’t go anywhere without feeling like you’re going to have a heart attack because of the wind pushing against you. Likely not pleasant for a motorist either. We’re already planning on leaving due to the winds and harsh winter.
@@tiadaniels1031
It's a silly joke. He says I ride bike, and I was playing off that. The Cobraverse is full of legend and lore. I've been to Wyoming during winter (not Casper) so I know exactly what you're saying.
I ride motorbike
I'm planning on retiring to Casper in a couple more years. With reference to the last part about the weather, the wind... Try living in southeastern Virginia. Summers here are _pure_ misery. High temperatures are about the same, but it's humid as hell. Nights are _no_ relief whatsoever. The temperature drops from the nineties into the mid seventies, _and you are _*_just_*_ as hot as at midday._ It's that damn humidity again. It's so bloody muggy, and there's usually _no_ breeze whatever at night, just dead still, muggy air, so that even at seventy-five degrees, the sweat can't evaporate off your skin, you can't shed heat, and you're just as miserable as you are during the day when the hot sun is beating down on you.
I _hate_ summers here. I won't complain about the wind one bit.
Casper is also known the prolific drug activity! If you like drugs and domestic violence go to casper!!! The local residents just LOVE Casper!!!!. Oh yes do not forget, if you move to Casper you will have to learn how to live well below the national poverty line. And still pay premium rent for a 1 bd apartment. Job pay sucks. Even with 6 years college. Don't get sucked in.. I've been trying to escape wyo for 2yrs. Almost there!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!
I know what you mean, Cobra is over at Walt and Angies every single week now mooching pills off of them
Where I live has wind for most of the year. It can be miserable, however we dont have any of the pros you've listed. So I'm still sold on Casper, lol.
This time of year the weather is amazing!
A gothic bad boy lives there
Do you guys have a rodeo in Casper
I lived in casper and rocksprings early 2000s hated it the weather sucks
Get Cobra to host this
Great video. I've been to Casper several times and love the town and the area. I would move there in a heartbeat!
Great video please do more
One more pro... Lou Taubert's Ranch Outfitter store. I love that place, it's historic, family run, and all Wyoming.
yeah buddy!
How is the employment out there? What are the big career moves for a city/town like Casper? I've spent the majority of my working career in the agchem/fertilizer business managing a warehouse that dealt with a lot of people from employees, farmers, and regulatory agencies and just wondering if it would translate to that kind of area for a liveable/reasonable wage for the area (granted a lot of the skills would translate regardless of the particular business I would imagine). At 35 I really want to settle in a place for a career and well, VA just isn't it for me anymore I think....lots of I guess I'd say personality coming from other states has just changed the feel and I'm sick of the humidity so wind to me is great!
As a husband and father I am curious about how safe it is to live there? Also, is there much to do for children? Thank you!
Everbody has a gun
@@allisonedwardsstage1 lol both the law breakers and law-abiders, good to know. 😉
The police are bored, and criminal activity is easy to spot. And about your kids, if they love wide open spaces, loves camping and fishing, its great for that. The last part of america i think. Oh and gotta love snow and cold wind!
Overall, I would say Casper is a safe place to live. As far as entertainment for children, I personally believe there needs to be a lot more of it to keep kids away from alcohol and drugs.
Casper is incredibly safe. I just moved to Tulsa OK and it was a complete culture shock. There’s low homelessness, low crime, Wyomingites do love their guns though.
My wife rates small towns with shopping and restaurant selection. Casper's selection: Home Depot YES, Lowes NO, Costco No, Sams Club YES, Kohls YES, Target YES, Walmart YES. These are the important stores see needs. Only 2 NOs, which isn't bad.
Tom Spurlock I have some other small business features that will be coming out soon! Thanks for watching!
Casper has a Menard's which is an upper mid-west home/DIY store and which I find generally better than Home Depot or Lowes. Casper is the furthest west store of the Menard's chain.
Why would your wife needs both Home Depot and Lowes?
@@striperross4975 for her husband to do chores
Cobra Craft Wands YES
Think of strong winds as atmospheric gardening...
Does Casper ever experience smog/inversions or is the wind constant enough to prevent them?
Casper, and Wyoming as a whole has some of the cleanest air in North America. Very little pollution whatsoever in Wyoming air or otherwise for that matter and for many reasons, all of which are positive in my book. However I think the secluded nature, it’s physical location and low population has more to do with the quality clean air than the often windy conditions in Wyoming.
The only haze you'll experience is the Boglin Warlock partaking in his wizard weed
@@Trifixion22, TWU! Praise Cobes’ magic.
does Casper have goths?
Yeeeeahhh buddy
I don't really know why but I feel like moving there.
-A Hungarian from Oslo
are there good work opportunities?
Yes, a famous wandmaker is always looking for new apprentices.
Love this video idea, great job, are you getting leads from this?
That was awesome. Thank you
Thank you!!! I appreciate you watching!
What is the main Internet Service Provider in Casper and is connectivity good for remote work?
Spectrum and charter in town. Out of town there is Allure Tech and Mountain West. I am actually working on a video about this right now as many people have the same questions as you. I have sold homes to quite a few people that work from home that use the above listed services.
Thank you for watching!
Lived in Casper for 3 years. My job interview told me about the wind I said I from Montana in 3 years the wind took me to my knees
A pro or con depending on your outlook is that Casper is an oil town which means many of the folk there are blue collar. This means stores, entertainment, churches, and politics are focused on that demographic. The smell of the oil refinery can be noticed when the wind is right.
No high alpine areas nearby but there are good ones within a few hours driving.
You mean working americans? Yeah what a bummer you have to deal with those dirty workers that keep america running
@@jonathangarzon2798 Not good or bad, just different tastes for different folks. I, myself, am a proud member of the International Society of Oil Field Trash. Different folk enjoy or dislike different things and that is fine, that is what makes the US great. I don't know how you got anything from my original post that could be considered derogatory to working folks.
@@jonathangarzon2798 Jonathan why are you sad babe?
Good thing the bond tactical soap keeps the town smelling good TWU
Wrong - the biggest con is not the wind. It's the lack of entertainment especially for young people.
No entertainment for young people? That's a pro in my book, lol
Look up a fella named Alex “warlord” Campbell. That guy will entertain you all night
Casper is great if your a sportsman! Gotta tree stand down at the McDonald's.
Got a trifecta làst year. 😊
What lol
I’ll need your help when I get down there
I like Casper. I wouldn't want it to be busy. Good place to raise a family.
Or a boglem
I can't think of too many places where you can be snow skiing in the winter or water skiing in the summer less then 30 minutes from town. But that wind is terrible.
The wind is what keeps the population low. It’s a blessing ;)
@@montanaman2439 I think it's a good trade off. I'd rather deal with wind than gobs of people.
Thanks for the video... i might retire in casper...we knowvnot a soul there, but see the houses are affordable
I've been looking into moving to Casper, Wyoming. In order to nullify the only main "con", maybe I'll try to get into kite flying? Everything else seems exactly perfect.
Haha! The good thing about wind is it blows out any impurities in the air! (and blows away the snow too)
Great video!
Nice video! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Pro: Low cost of living and housing in comparison to most other states Con: Long, cold, windy winters brrrrrr Pro: Very pretty countryside and tons of outdoor sports year round. Con: Always has been a serious drug and alcohol problem in Wyoming,
Do drugs jeff
Pro: wands will never be in short supply thanks to your local humble autistic wand making wizard who smells really good and single handedly defeated ISIS with his magical powers yeeeeahh buddy TWU
But there’s lots of celebrities like gothic king cobra, Michael Baldwin and even cool taste lives there how could you not love

YEEEAARGH
I know that trout fishing is the thing there. I can't find anything referencing any other fishing. Send me link that talks about other fish and places to find them. Catfish, walleye, crappie, etc. Are these in the lakes? Is it possible to catch from the bank? Are there accesses to the lake banks to fish?
I hope to be doing some videos on that this summer
