The National Weather Service in Riverton has shared some photos of the Northern Lights, taken just outside of their forecast office.

Peter Steiger has lived in Wyoming for some time, and he has learned to appreciate the little things, the slow things, the simple things; things like a cattle drive that takes place every February on Happy Jack Road.

There were all kinds of games, matches and meets last week.

If you'd like to getaway from it all and also experience a bit of Wyoming history, I found an interesting option. It's an old prospector's silo in Wyoming's Wind River Mountains that also happens to be an Airbnb.

Do you enjoy a nice view of Laramie, Wyoming from above? What about horses? Would you like a place that is built for them? If so, I've found a truly gorgeous horse ranch that overlooks the city.

You don't have to venture far to find unique places to stay. I can prove that with a guesthouse located just north of Cheyenne that has chickens and a shower that's likely nicer than the one on the space shuttle. Seriously.

Down deep in your heart, do you have the desire to spend quality time with alpacas? Do you also love the Wyoming Bighorns? If you can answer yes to both, I've found an alpaca farm in the Wyoming Bighorns that you really can stay at. Really.

If your bucket list includes a home with mountain views that also happens to have a corral and you'd like it to be in Cheyenne, Wyoming, I have found a place that checks all of those boxes and have the pics to prove it.

Do you love log cabins? Yes? What about wild horses? If that's also a yes, I found a log cabin in Lander, Wyoming that can give you the chance to maybe see these magnificent animals, too.

What's the most expensive home you can get in Cheyenne that actually has Cheyenne in its address? This. It's a jaw-dropping home that overlooks Curt Gowdy State Park.

Let's dream a little bit. If you could afford the most expensive home in Laramie, what would you expect it to include? If heated floors are near the top of your list, boy do I have the Laramie home for you.

The first Games in the summer of 1896 included competitors from Europe and the United States and were held in Athens in tribute to the Games' origins.
