Fruitful Afternoon
I went over the hill to Red Lodge today - the car needed a recall repair.
As I slowed through Bearcreek, I noticed some folks having a Kodak moment. I stopped and asked the photographer if she’d like to get in a picture. I ended up “visiting” with these people for a while. It seems that there’s a Western Gunfighter Happening in Cody this weekend.
some scenes from last year
What a coincidence - I run into people interested in local history - and they won’t let me take off empty handed. I now have some handsome posters. Of all things - a full size wildbunch poster! And another great poster - take a look:
While the car was being worked on - I had a good lunch at the Red Lodge Café. Then I headed to the Peaks to Plains Museum for a bit of research. The best part was - I found exactly what I was looking for in the old newspapers. I also purchased a book there, Murder By the Mountains - Murder in Carbon County 1888-1929 by Mel Gemmill & Edward Fenlason.
Guess you know what I’ll be doing…

Sounds like a great day with time to do something you are actually interested in! I love to talk to strangers, too. You meet the neatest people, usually.
Good news here, too. Corn chopping is over. Heavy frost yesterday morning so just in the nick of time. Cutting hay today. Hauling more gaurd rail for the feed lot and one guy working to restore the 220 line to my dryer. Old fuse box shorted out and cratered. bonnie
