Talking Anyone near/in Wyoming?

My oilfield services company will be opening an office near Pinedale and i will be heading up there sometime this week. Might want to find other diesel folks to chit chat/ get together!

I'm in Cheyenne. A ways from Pinedale though. I go to Green River from time to time to visit my parents and my brother.

All you Texas oil/gas drillers and /pipeline welder junkies that can't drive in horrible weather stay away!















1 more won't matter I guess.
JUST KIDDING........ I am at the college in Rock Springs M-F 6a -4p. Off College Dr. southeast entrance come around the back by the tennis courts. My shop is the garage door by the BIG trash compactor.

I hope you're staying in Pinedale cause Rock Springs is the arm pit of Wyoming. That's why I commute 100 miles 1 way 5 day's a week. Walmart can only get 5 drug free applicants out of 100. It's a meth haven.

Well I have never seen such a concentration of diesels for such a small area up here! We are renting a house that is only 2 bedroom for $2600/mo which is INSANE! You guys weren't kidding when you said that the lodging was crazy!

We have been too busy to really get out and cruise though. Plus the popo out here love to concentrate on out of state plates!

The oil/gas companies have alot of diesels pickup. Go by the ford dealership on Dewar. The service parking is always full of Halliburton pick ups getting worked on.

Correct the RSPD are not friendly. There is alot of history in that town from the first boom. Lot's of prostitution and guns and scandle.

Oh yeah, watch out for potholes. They could just open up into a mine shaft. The town is built on an onld coal mine.

Well we are in Pinedale and NOT Rock Springs, as the oilfield area we are working on is just south of Boulder. To commute 80 miles one way just isn't profitable, and the oil companies out here are getting raped on the dayrate from the drillers as it is. Their rates are about 20% higher then they are in Texas. I see more Dodges up here than fords or chevs....

Jeremy, if you hook up with Whitmore-- be sure to tease him about his stacks. Those things almost double the height of his truck!

That said, he's a pro at shadetree engineering. You should see his homebrew selectable cold air intake-- very impressive!
