Opinion | Things that last (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We were up long before the first gray on the eastern horizon. We attacked the biscuits and gravy and bacon and spuds like there would be no lunch, because there wouldn’t be. We worked hard until it was dark. And after dinner, we headed for home — two hours away. When the day was young and full of promise, we were full of words and laughter. But now, it was very quiet in the truck. We were just toughing it out to get home to a warm bed. When that big full moon came up over the Powder River countr

Read excerpt
After almost 70 years, I still remember it quite clearly. We were on our way to the home place one evening when my dad told me about a forest fire nearby. For some reason, I concluded that if the people fighting the fire saw us, they would conscript my father into helping them. That scared me. I can still recall driving along the north side of Little Prospect Mountain in the dark, watching the glow from the fire above us and wondering if we were going to be OK.

Opinion | Public lands, our shared legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For months now, I’ve been thinking, writing and speaking about the importance of public lands in Wyoming. I’m not alone in that. Many of us have been alarmed by the rhetoric we hear from scheming politicians and their sycophants who, given the chance, would sell these lands to the highest bidder.

This is an election year in the Cowboy State, and the future of our public lands should be a prime

Read excerpt
We are spending the summer again at Brooklyn Lake. The lake sits at 10,500 feet above sea level, just below Brown’s Peak, in the heart of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Formerly called Trout Lake, it was re-christened by Harry “Hoot” Jones, former rodeo star and owner of the nearby Brooklyn Lake Lodge, a century ago. Old Hoot knew a tourist draw when he saw one. It remains one today. Kim and I are camp hosts here — U.S. Forest Service volunteers in charge of the 19-space campground. We welcom
Opinion | Public lands travelogue 2026: Wyoming Range (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Author’s Note: When my dad Gus came home from the war in the South Pacific in 1946, he was a wreck. He was sick — physically, mentally and emotionally. The doctors in our hometown (there were exactly two) could help him with the physical ailments. The mental and emotional parts were much more difficult to treat, and more dangerous. In time, he learned that the thing that brought him peace was the same thing he had always loved — time spent in the public lands of southwest Wyoming. One of his “go
