The medicine bows are nice. Hopefully the ranch you are working on has a couple of trout ponds on it.

Nice man. Have fun on those country roads.
Went through Wyoming this summer for first time. Fence out just seems odd.

Summer before 1st year of hs. Started running after I returned. Was working at a camp nearby, a lot of hard labor, mostly just tough because of the lack of breaks & altitude on the mind. Where I was at was more like 8k (just reviewed the topo map), and we didnt sleep a whole lot. One of the older guys who was a leader at the camp was some type of ultra guy who had done a 24 hr race or something the year before. He raved about the trails so no shortage. Beautiful, but mentally straining. I doubt you'll have the same issues. Work was stuff like building/ working on the fence, digging holes for the posts, random labor, working in the kitchen, working in differnt sectors of the camp. We had a joke at the camp that you got fit from just being there, as everyone would leave after the summer 15 lbs lighter, myself included.
I would go back in a heartbeat. Nothing like the views. Altitude up there is legit. Pinedale is just as gorgeous as Jackson but way more lowkey. WAY more. The isolation can be a driving factor for those workouts I presume as well. Really a special place. Everything's cheap too. 25 cent soda. That was all my sustinence for those weeks pretty much, rationing out how many shasta colas we had left for the week. As for your question of the wind- youll be fine if you avoid 80 like the rest of these guys are saying. Not saying youll never get a little gale here or there. But get out there man. Would love to know where your thinking. Defininitely heading out next summer before college.
I'll be working on a ranch in Laramie this summer. I'll be a college grad at that time, then after a year, I'm applying to veterinary school for Fall 2022. Sounds like I am going to have some fun with the wind.
A few years from now, perhaps you'll be running with some people. When they start to complain about the wind, you'll be able to say "you have no idea...".

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/03/climate/wyoming-coal-country-wind-farm.htmlSpent some time in Cody last summer in August and the wind got pretty nasty in the evening, but it's a beautiful place. Drink plenty of water and get lots of rest if you're at decent altitude and you'll have a great time. Enjoy the scenery, the west is a beautiful place

Did you see Kanye? He's got a 14 million dollar ranch in Cody. He also has shoe factory in Cody.
The garden spot of the state is Sheridan. Up against the Big Horns, it gets less wind than the rest of the state. I grew up in Casper. The wind blows less than you think in the summer and fall. Winter and spring are pretty awful.
