It's not like New York or Boston where 100 miles might as well be the freakin Moon.
From Cody to Billings, I think you have 3 stop signs and 2 traffic lights taking 14A to 310 to I-90. There are more traffic lights within 2 miles of the airport than the rest of the route.
From Laramie to Cheyenne, you may not even have a stop sign depending on where in the Laramie area you are getting on I-80 from then it's all interstate until you are in Cheyenne.
Worland to Riverton is I think 3 stoplights going through Thermopolis and a stop light in Shoshoni at the US20/26 split coming out of Wind River Canyon.
It's not like trying to drive from Groton CT to BOS.
A better use of your time would be to write your congressman instead of preaching to people, like me, who couldn't care less. If you're that passionate about how much of a waste, do something about it. Complaining anonymously on message board is a waste of breath.
