Wyoming has a handful of locales that sound nearly identical. I’m sure it’s no different than in Utah, but I lived in Utah for 20-some years and studied the state’s geography in school. In Wyoming, I was plopped into a newsroom, where I am to write stories without displaying amateurishness or a learning curve.

Evanston - A town near the Utah boarder. Supplies Utah alcohol and fireworks.
Evansville - Suburb of Casper.

Laramie - A town of 30,000. Home to the University of Wyoming.
Laramie County - County in which Cheyenne is located. The county where Laramie city is located is Albany County. Interstate 80 separates Cheyenne and Laramie city by about 40 minutes.
Fort Laramie - Near the Nebraska border, hundreds of miles north of Cheyenne and Laramie city.
Laramie River Station - A coal-fired power plant near the town of Lusk and the Nebraska border but not at Fort Laramie.

Pine Haven - A pretty town about 40 minutes from Gillette on the edge of a reservoir.
Pine Bluffs - A town off I-80 near the Nebraska border.
Pinedale - A town that’s on one of the routes to Yellowstone. Southeast of Jackson Hole. Since home prices in Jackson Hole are so high, I think Pinedale has become a (somewhat) cheaper alternative for retirees and people looking for second homes.
Big Piney - South of Pinedale (also somewhat cheaper than Jackson Hole.)

Kemmerer - A town by Rich County, Utah. Home to first J.C. Penney store in U.S.
Kinnear - A town outside of Riverton, which I think is sort of in the center of the state.

Then, there’s people’s names. I don’t understand why so many Wyomingites name their sons and dogs Cody. That’s the name of a city in Wyoming. It would be like a Utahn naming their kid Fruit Heights. Outside of Wyoming, a lot of people name their daughters Cheyenne. Luckily, I haven’t run into any Cheyennes in Wyoming.
