Yes, I am.
I chose this location in part due to the current election. Wyoming is known as the "Equality State." It was the first state to allow women the vote. On February 17, 1870, Esther Hobart Morris became the first woman to hold judicial office in the modern world when she was appointed justice of the peace for South Pass City.

I might actually spend next summer there. They have volunteer opportunities available and I have time available. I was looking at the Peace Corp, even had my ex lined up to take my dogs. But I basically got turned down, or put on a waiting list of unknown length, for the program I applied.
And yes there is an Atlantic City just northeast of South Pass. A good friend of mine found a gold nugget about the size of my thumb in Little Hermit Gulch Creek on the road between the two towns.
Butch Cassidy is said to have stayed in South Pass City on more then one occasion hence the the "Hole in the Wall Gang" reference.
You be up Nick.
