I've never seen him in person. I've been by his house. You'd never even guess that a billionaire lived there, it's incredibly modest for the money he has.

I have heard that he is pretty modest for a guy with 56 billion dollars.

There are several including Grayrocks in Wheatland, Guernsey, Glendo, GreyReef, Alcova, Pathfinder, and Seminoe. You are probably thinking of Glendo which is highly visible from interstate 25.

Good Morning Wyoming! Miles, it was Glendo I was thinking of. We are thinking of bringing the boat out, and spending a few days at Glendo, then heading up to Boysen for a while, since we'd be able to stay at the house in Lander.

Glendo was actually at 95% capacity this year for a couple weeks. Nice the see the trees on the beaches get some water for the first time in ten years. A few years back we ran a boat aground in Glendo in an area that should have had 8-10 feet of water.

I know Boysen was down for a few years also. Lake McConnahey(Not sure if I spelled that right!) out in western Nebraska has been way down for the last five or six years. I'd like to see that go back up also. I've never boated there, but I'd like to sometime in the near future.

My family has a little cabin on lake McConnahey. I have never been invited so I am not sure where it is located but a late summer weekend at the lake sounds refreshing.

Good Morning Wyoming. Hey Miles, just took a good look at your truck. You should add some motor pics to your gallery, that thing is awesome!
