Petroglyph Proof
After our trip back in to history to the Lewis homestead cabin, we went even farther back in history with a side trip to petroglyphs. Just like The Dugout, I have written about the petroglyphs before. You might want to click through and read the link first. I was wondering how they were holding up…
Re-Red: August 16 – August 21, 2020
Wow. This video is the compilation of the week August 16-21, 2020, for Wyoming’s working ranch blog, Red Dirt In My Soul. Obviously, I can’t read a calendar lately. Last week’s Re-Red movie went two days into this week, and I just realized I am a day short on this video. My goodness. I must…
Whisper of Dreams
Well, sorry. I didn’t make a Re-Red today. It takes at least two hours and I didn’t have time. I will try to put one together tomorrow. We took another trip, this one, however, has been in the works for a few years. Vernon’s cousins have wanted to visit their old family homestead. It sold…
Sor-dan
This was Daniel on June 27. After our first cutting of hay was off the pivot field, he went back in and no-till drilled in some sorghum-sudangrass hybrid seeds. No-till means just that. No tilling. No plowing, discing, or leveling of the field back to bare dirt. The planter (aka a ‘drill’) has small discs…
Shell Canyon and Falls
Shell Canyon, like I mentioned on the other day’s blog post, has a great deal in common with Ten Sleep Canyon. Massive walls, creek in the bottom, winding, twisting, switchback roads. Shell Canyon’s Highway 14 is narrower than Ten Sleep’s Highway 16. More semi’s travel over Ten Sleep… and you’ll understand why when I include…
#TBT: “Fifteen Years Ago…”, v.2.0
Yesterday my friends arrived from New Zealand. A. and her husband, V. Now… as some of you may know… time sure flies by…. A. and I worked together at a place once known as Girl Scout National Center West. It was the ultimate camp for Girl Scouts back then… much like the Boy Scouts’ Philmont….
Wordless Wednesday: “Shell Falls”

The Old Shell Store
I know some of you are not Instagram people… but I’m a fan. I follow artists and locals and craftspeople and cowboys and metal detectorists and amazing women and NASA and National Geographic. They post amazing photos and short sentences… sometimes short videos… and I pretty much enjoy it all. If you’re “local-ish”, and follow…
Little Q&A
I’ve had some good questions in my comment section lately, so I thought I’d take the time to answer them. Joan: Your prose is beautiful. You could write a book about your cattle adventures! You’ve probably covered this before, but the partner cows belong to neighbors that share the pasture? Thanks so much! I might…
Re-Red: August 9 – August 15, 2020
This turned out to be quite a long video! This week covers: a friend’s colt, gathering cattle and vaccinating calves, commentary from the littlest cowgirl, our sor-dan field (a sorghum/sudan hybrid), a visit to The Lodge at Willard Springs, wildlife, stacking small bales, and a tremendous sunset. I hope it isn’t too long… and I…
The Lodge at Willard Springs
Last week, we took a special little trip… While Vernon might make it up here snowmobiling once, twice, three times a winter… I don’t seem to make it very often in summer. Not that I don’t like to visit! It’s a gorgeous place… perfect for a get away… a reunion… a wedding. Just so long…
