Casper, Wyoming, May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Visitors are returning to the area with the lifting of the 14-day quarantine for travelers outside of the state of Wyoming Cowboy state and its nearly 98,000 square miles, national parks and historical sites, expanses, mountains, rivers and communities.
