For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946. It is a rockfill dam, eventually reaching a height of 220′ and length of 1,143′. The crest of the dam is 30′ wide, but the base is over 900′! That’s…
Old Photos
Gah! I’m SO disgusted with myself! I wanted to enter some photos in Casper’s Wild West Photo Fest like I did a couple of years ago… and I kept thinking the entries were due the last of August. I looked at the form today, and the deadline was yesterday. I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF! …

Gorgeous Settings

In the Before Time, I wrote a research paper on petroglyphs and pictographs, and they’ve always captured my imagination. Dr. Lowendorf has written multiple books…
Oh, My
Given the choice between laundry, changing sheets on the beds, or a trip up the mountain to put out salt… it’s not very hard to guess which one I chose this afternoon… Someday my house will be clean… but not today! This time we even went over to the “back side” of the pasture. That…
Wordless Wednesday – “Backs and Ears”
It’s a GREAT grass year when all you can see on your cows is backs and ears!
