Anybody here been to Cheyenne Frontier days, I'm going this year to check it out, just wondering what to expect. Sounds like it is a big crowd. I don't like crowds or maybe I just don't like people, but gonna check it out anyways.

    I live in Cheyenne. It will most likely be a good time for you and yours. Rides, concerts, rodeo and all that cowboy rough stuff. Personally, I will go one day to the fair and eat my corn dog and funnel cake and get the he77 out. The people that live here cant stand it because of the influx of people who do not respect the town. Also the drunks are out of control.

    Have fun,

    It sucks that people go someplace and disrespect the area. This will be my first real vacation in my 41 yrs of life. I will be drunk, but have never been known to get out of control. We will only be there for 4 days, the rest of my vacation we will be in Montana and South Dakota.

    Have a good time and be safe. Drink lots of water! Its usually dry and hot and many end up in the er as a result of dehydration etc.quote:Originally posted by PSFD DONKEY

    TR Ozzy I use to in the late 60's and early 70's till I got hurt in 72.Broke both sides of my jaw and ruptured several discs on a bull here in Colorado. It was a no brainer to figure out I need to try something else so my dad , brother and I started team roping. My dad rode saddlebroncs and * horses ,steer wrestled, team roped and roped calves till he was in his 50's and still starts his own colts at 78 years young. Here are a few pics of my dad....Check out some of the old cars in the third pic....kind of dates the time....Bull

    We went there about 4 years ago. We enjoyed it but I don't know what you'd do there for 4 days. We considered it "been there , done that" in one day.
