Thanks, Driver Services!

Wyoming Rest Areas are the tops

While driving from Laramie to Cheyenne via the long way, I stopped in Chugwater to use the rest stop. As I pulled my car into the lot, I had flashbacks to the last time I had visited a state run rest stop on the Nevada Utah border. That place was filthy and disgusting.

As I walked into your Chugwater facility, I was greeted by a very nice woman, Deb Lovett. The interior was immaculate and Mrs. Lovett is the epitome of the polished professional. The restroom was equally well maintained and I could tell that a lot of hard work has gone into making the Chugwater rest stop a shining example of Wyoming hospitality. I talked to a few other men while washing my hands and we all agreed that the Chugwater rest area is the best that any of us has seen. I congratulated Mrs. Lovett on the way out and asked if it was OK for me to send you a note so that you could perhaps formally recognize the good work that is being done at the Chugwater rest area. The great work being done by Mrs. Lovett and her associates reflects great credit upon her, her associates and the State of Wyoming. A hearty, Well done to all associated with the Chugwater rest stop!

Warm regards,

Pothole concerns answered

I just wanted to follow up to an inquiry/concern from 4 weeks ago, on the I-80 Wyoming corridor. We have lived in Wyoming 40 years and have driven the roads many times, but had never experienced the road damage to I-80 like this year.

I had expressed concern for the coming summer travelers, including motorcycles, and smaller car safety, noting the size of some of the holes. We just traveled again across the state (Laramie to Utah and back) with a trailer. HUGE kudos to you and your team for getting I-80 in safe driving condition following this unforgiving winter!

I am sure you are always on top of road conditions, but it is amazing how much work has been done in such a short time to address these safety issues.

THANK YOU!
