307

Wyoming Pride

This date and time "thing" has been really hard to grasp. Jeff and I have had a number of discussions about how we get back to "Our" time zone when we travel around the rest of the globe. It's crazy - 'cuz we don't cross the International Date Line going the other way. Anyhow, today in March 7th here (although I know back in our home state it's only the 6th of March).

307 Day is celebrated on March 7 in Wyoming as a way to honor the state's 307 area code. This day is dedicated to showing pride for Wyoming through various activities and social media sharing. Residents are encouraged to share their favorite Wyoming destinations and experiences on platforms like Instagram and Snapchat using hashtags like #ThatsWY and #307Day. The 307 area code, established in 1947, holds significant cultural value for Wyomingites, symbolizing the state's identity and heritage. As one of the least populous states in the U.S., Wyoming uniquely retains its single area code, distinguishing it from most other states that have multiple codes based on population and phone usage. The celebration of 307 Day reflects the deep connection Wyoming residents have with their state and its iconic area code.

Let me take a moment to showcase our pride and love for all things Wyoming. (in spite of the smoke-filled skies from the fires, the cattle traffic-jam and the heavy snowfall - or because of it: We love Wyoming!)

So, Happy 307 to all our fellow Wyomingites!!
We miss you Wyoming ... See you in Sepember.

Good morning Barb and Jeff. How lucky I was to check in on 307 Day! Am loving to follow you even though I am not on it every day. Stories and pictures are marvelous. Everything good here. Wanted to let you know the kids (and Ty) are calling their new home "Barb's house! Van is helping Richard with the ceiling on his new building. Hoping for early spring to get things rolling on Ty's house. Molly and family, Ty and family and Van and me all good. Can't believe you are one-third of the way around the world! So pleased for you that it is all you hoped it would be! Will check in again soon! Marilyn
