I'm looking for firewood in either Casper or Rawlins for antelope camp in a few weeks. I say either/or because I'm not sure on the route I will take to get to Unit 67. Does anyone know of folks selling firewood in either place?

Thanks for the help.

Many places will offer over priced fire wood bundles. If taking I-80, your easiest stop is in Laramie in my opinion. The West Laramie Fly Store and Fosters country corner always have bundles for sale. They are right off the interstate at the Snowy Range exit. That is the 3rd exit you come to when traveling from the east. There is also a place called Lip Rippers or Walkers in Shoshoni that advertises wood. They have an RV park so availability is probably an issue at times. In your shoes, I would just cut my own if possible.

The problem with bringing in your own wood is that there are often restrictions due to the spread of a variety of invasive species. The restriction may be county, state, or federal, and you likely won't know until you are getting the ticket. I am just going to bring out some wood scraps from my woodshop, as wood that has been kiln dried is exempt. It burns my butt to pay $10 for a little bundle of wood.....that makes about as much sense as paying $1.39 for a bottle of water when you can get a whole case for $3.39.
