I see that there are 515,000 people in wyoming and 97,818 square miles. So 5.25 people a square mile. Most of those people live in a few small citys. The land surounding the state is not that much more populated. It takes quite a bit of land just to make one person a living. That is the kind of isolation that drives a person to drink or commit suicide. Getting killed by a drunk driver on one of those skinny highways is much more common there. I think it is hard for a person to understand the culture without spending some time there. People drive hundreds of miles on the weekend just so their kids can participate in sports. You would be one inbred dude if your parents depended on public transportation.

In comparison a person does not need a car where i live, public transportation is limited and distances can be ten miles on not so bike frendly streets.
