That is a good question, Larry71490.
I did not see any in the small piece that is ingame. But who knows what is elsewhere in Jackson.

I think if Jackson is gonna get a garage, the end of Martin Ln might be a good contender. It looks like it continues on past the Deepgrove yard there and just looking at the businesses there I don't see anything, in particular, that might make it in as a depot. It's possible! I think if they're thinking a town is major enough for an entire dedicated blog, it'll be major enough to get a garage.

Martin Lane? seems to be wood industry, if checking the current area ingame.
+ some carwreck thingy closer to US-191? There still could be room for it there?
Bedavd, that area looks better ingame than IRL.

What do y'all think about Green River possibly making an appearance? I know SCS mentioned the Soda Ash mining before, as we saw the Genesis Alkali billboard parody in a blog post as well, but do we think it'll be lumped into Rock Springs rather than separated out? Those mines are close to Green River, but Green River is about half the size and also located off the intersection of US 191 and I-80. All those industries seem to be given Green River addresses, but I reaaaaaally doubt we'd see BOTH, so my money is on Rock Springs taking precedent.

Edit: I actually just pulled up the "Wyoming: Industries" blog post where SCS mentioned the Soda Ash mines. It states "One such example that will be included in our Wyoming DLC will be the Soda Ash Mine located near Rock Springs." I think them stating they're near Rock Springs and not Green River basically confirms that Rock Springs will be the marked town, and Green River will be scenic off the south-west of I-80 at best.

The mining area should the only offering in Green river, so it would be absorbed into Rock springs without a doubt. If there are any other depots possible in that area, it may be made into a separate city, like Boise and Nampa for example.

I don't know if the town of Green River will make it, but I'm thinking they at least have the bridges where I-80 crosses Green River (the river), and the tunnels for I-80 near the town. They may have the town as scenic, but sandwiched like it is between Little America and Rock Springs they may not have room.

I don't know where exactly the soda ash mine is... if they need one of Green River's freeway exits to get to it that increases the likelihood of at least a scenic appearance.

Green River would make for a good scenic town, mainly for the tunnels and the beautiful buttes around it. Those landmarks could always be featured without the town, but it would feel weird knowing that the town should be there but isn't.

The crossing of the Green is essential, not just by I-80, but also US 189 and the two crossings by the 191. It's a pretty significant river. I hope someday the I-70 crossing could be worked in so the river is complete from a trucker's perspective.

Little America exit probably will be used to access the mine

I've actually talked about Green River a few times here. We really only need that tunnel. At best, get a very small establishment off I-80 to represent the town itself. The town is too small and too many other things around it to make it more than scenic.

In addition to the tunnels I hope they add these cliffs just west of there:
