OT - Casper WY, gun shops, museums, places to visit?

[dkmlever]

I will be in Casper, WY this Tuesday eve and all Day Wednesday and heading home Thursday morning, while my wife teaches a seminar. Looking for places to kill some time while I am there. Good gun shops, museums etc, any ideas would be appricated.

When last I was there many summers ago there was a place called: Deans Sporting Goods @ 260 West Center, Casper, WY 307-234-2788 .
It was the biggest gun shop and sporting goods store I've ever seen.

Off the top of my punkin head that's the only one I can think of although there was a couple other smaller ones.

Deans no longer exists. Dean retired and closed it down.

Fort Casper is worth the time since it is right in the west edge of town.

As far as gun stores, about all that is left is the standard Sportmans Warehouse and Rocky Mountain discount sports.

With the longs days and if the wife is not too tired after her day, you might go out to Independence Rock and Devils Gate. Both within a couple miles of each other and a little more than an hour from Casper.

If you are interested, Casper College has a great geology museum and there is a new historical interactive event called "Three Trails" which tells of the history of the Mormon, Boseman and Oregon Trails. The best gun store is on west CY Avenue and I believe it is called Rocky Mtn. Discount. I was just there last week and I can't remember the name exactly. . . .hell getting old. . . . There are a couple other small museums around town. Take the time to drive up the mountain or out near the river. The river is very high and spectacular. Never seen the country as green as it is right now.

Casper is my home town. . . .enjoy your visit.

Yes, I remember a taxidermy shop on Yellowstone, but I don't remember if it was called Ray's.
