Well things are becoming clearer. After several days of trolling through dozens of rental websites I think I have come up with a winner. Right now, pending an actual visit, the leading contender is The Preserve at Greenway Park in Casper Wyoming.
However, wanting to do due diligence in checking out the other candidates, I decided to reverse the circulation through Wyoming so I wind up at Casper at the end. The revised schedule will be:
Mon (2/22) Portland to Twin Falls, ID. (10 hours, a long day)
Tue (2/23) Twin Falls, ID to Jackson, WY (4 &1/4 hours) Time to check out ambience.
Wed (2/24) Jackson to Rock Springs (3 &1/2 hours)
Thu (2/25) Rock Springs – Cheyenne (4 hours)
Fri (2/26) Cheyenne – Casper (3 hours) Seriously check out environs.
Sat (2/2) & Sun (2/28) Casper Check out The Preserve at Greenway Park, and if all looks good, potentially rent a unit. If I get an address I can start the transition to becoming a Wyoming resident.
Mon (3/1) Casper – St. George, UT (10 &1/2 hours another long day)
Tue (3/2) St. George, UT – Joshua Tree, CA (5 hours)
That gets me in in time to recover before plugging Nana in on the 4th. Plan to drive back to Oregon on March 5th and 6th. When I get back I can start arranging move to Wyoming.
