Looks like Wyoming will not have to wait much longer for
football or Longmire, both are coming this fall. Longmire will be here in early September
with ten new episodes. Not sure I understand the concept of Netflix yet, all episodes
will be available that same first day. I remember waiting for so many shows for
the next week to bring a new story. Maybe I will just watch one episode each
week for ten weeks – no probably not.
Although Longmire is popular in Wyoming, many wish it could
actually be filmed here. Most will not notice, but those of us who live here
do. New Mexico has a lot in common, scenery wise, with Wyoming, but not
everything. But we do love our Wyoming authors, especially Craig Johnson the
Longmire creator, and C. J. Box the bestselling author of Wyoming mystery
novels.
Quite a few westerns have been filmed in Wyoming over the
years but Hollywood tells us that our unpredictable weather and predictable short
summer making filming difficult. Never the less a few good ones have been
filmed here. 1953 seems to have been a good year when both, Shane and The Big
Sky were filmed. The Mountain Men, filmed in 1980 is another notable Wyoming
western.

I am a long-time resident of northern New Mexico with extensive family ties to Wyoming. My mom, a Bridger Valley native, helped me move here 22 years ago. Her first reaction was "This place reminds me of Wyoming." Thanks for your hat tip to Longmire, a show that bridges two places I love.
