Two Awesome NFL Stars Visited Wyoming On Their Off Week

Being an NFL star has to be rough. Their bodies get beat up every game and experience huge collisions multiple times. NFL schedules have bye weeks that allow players to recover and relax.

I’m sure if you were to ask Wyoming NFLers Logan Wilson and Teven Bryan, or former UW QB Josh Allen they would agree.

By the time those weeks arrive, you can bet they’re ready, and some will take a short vacation to get the relaxation they need.

When the San Franciso 49ers had a bye week this season, two superstars came to Wyoming to take a break from football.

At least, that was the idea.

QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle still had football on their minds and wanted to stay fresh and ready for their next game.

They didn’t tell each other beforehand but brought a football to toss around and improve their timing and skills.

More proof that the two were here in Wyoming is on the YouTube channel 49ers Miners, which is a 49ers fan-based channel. In a video from the beginning of November, some fans highlight Purdy’s videos and pictures of his trip to Wyoming.

Purdy and Kittle have a common bond: Besides playing for the 49ers, they played college football in Iowa. Not for the same school, but both in the same state.

Purdy played QB for the Iowa State Cyclones, and Kittle was a standout TE for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

March 31 Deadline For Wyoming’s ‘Becoming An Outdoor Woman’ Workshops

Gaining the knowledge to become an outdoorsy type of person isn’t easy. It takes time, dedication, and the desire to sometimes get out of your comfort zone. Sure, if you grew up in the outdoors, but it’s been a while since you’ve actually been out hunting, fishing, hiking, or camping, you may be a little rusty, but you have a leg up on those who haven’t.

If you’re in Wyoming, there’s a good chance that taking advantage of the incredible outdoor activities we have available has crossed your mind, but where to start is the big question. Asking others for help is one way, but there’s sometimes an element of intimidation or embarrassment involved.

If you’re a woman looking for that help and want to avoid the intimidation, you should really check out the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoor Woman (BOW) workshops this summer. It’s held at the Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp near Dubois, and everything you need to learn about the outdoors is provided, including food and lodging.

The registration deadline is March 31, meaning you have just a couple of weeks to apply for one or all of the offered workshops.

There are multiple options available depending on your level of outdoor knowledge.

Basic BOW Workshop: Introductory level camp teaching outdoor survival, basic fly fishing, backpacking, how to shoot, outdoor photography, and more. There will be two of these workshops, June 5-7 and August 7-9. $150

Fly Fishing Beyond BOW Workshop: The focus here is on fly fishing. Learn the basics and then put them to use. This workshop runs July 30 – Aug 2. $150

Backpacking Beyond BOW: This workshop is all about backpacking, hiking, cooking on the trail, adjusting to the trail, and preparing for the trip. You’ll learn how to properly pack your bag, set up camp, and then head out on an overnight trip. July 30 – Aug 2. $150

Become a BOW Instructor: Here’s where you put your years of experience to work by sharing your skills and knowledge with others, helping them learn the tricks and tips of the outdoors.

Not only will these workshops help get you started on a life in the outdoors, but you’re likely going to gain some street cred with your family when you can teach them the skills they’ll need to get out and celebrate a Wyoming lifestyle.
