I got word Friday that I am headed to Casper for the winter. and most of spring..
Does Casper have a 600 Yard range?</div></div>
I've only been here a few days, but I can give you a few tips on Casper.
As for the ranges, I checked on that today also. From my findings, it seems they only have a 300yd range that's open to the public. I didn't spend much time researching this, but just what I found with my Google-Fu.
I ate at Poor Boy's Steakhouse this evening. It was everything all the folks said it would be. They cook a damn fine steak. I'm not a "steak pro", but I've ate my share at a few of the more notable steakhouses across the US, and I'll say that this one wasn't too shabby.
Rocky Mountain discount sports is the shit! It's like having a mini Midway USA right down the street. You have to shop wisely though. They seem to have great prices on some things, yet way high on others. Reloading components and bullets (not loaded rounds, just bullets) seem to be way high I noticed. Clothing prices are good and the prices on Eberlestock products are the best. People in there aren't very friendly or helpful, so dont expect much in the way on "mom & pop" service. They have a great selection of BLM maps and they also have a full scale map plotter and will custom make you a map of any area you want for $7-$20 depending on the size and scale you want while you wait. Pretty damn neat I think.
Sportsman's Warehouse is sweet too! They have everything and most of it at fair prices. Nice selection of clothing, guns (tons of guns), reloading equipment, cases, calls, etc....
The local YMCA is a great place to work out. They have recently upgraded all their cardio equipment and weight room stuff. They have some nice Hammer Strenght stuff, full line of nice dumbells up to 120's so you can actually do some good with them, plenty of benches, a pure hardcore blood & guts squat rack, and some nice machines if your not into free weights.
The west side of Casper has all the new stuff. Nice hotels, Applebee's, chain stores, mall, up to date shopping. The east side is older. Lots of small shops, local joints, older motels, but the super Walmart is on the East side so it gets alot of traffic.
The Super 8 motel (east side location) is very nice. It's not at all what you'd expect from a Super 8. The rooms are amazingly clean. The staff is American and very courteous and helpful. They have a nice breakfast that starts at 5:00am with fresh biscuits and hot gravy, fresh donuts, toast, muffins, juice, cereal. The rooms all have microwaves, fridges, and ironing boards in them. Free Internet. They have a washer & dryer in the side lobby for the guests to use for $1.There is an attendant in the lobby 24hrs a day to help with anything you need. So, if you have to stay in a motel, don't over look the Super 8 (east location, there's a west one also) for a place to stay. I assure you the Holiday inn or any of the others aren't this nice and the service won't be as good.
Its not a bad lil town at all. I'm kinda sad to leave.
