Local Wildlife

Antelope in Clark, WyomingI was sitting in our great room enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon by the fire when the neighbors decided to drop by. Antelope are commonly seen in Wyoming. They are migratory and are seen in different areas different times of the year. I have often seen them in my pasture where they will stop and look at me through the window. Unfortuantely, as soon as I move to get the camera, so do they.

Wyoming is the only state with more antelope than people. They are an amazing animal that can reach speeds of 60 mph. The antelope of North American are called Pronghorns, but more commonly referred to as just antelope. During the winter they form mixed sex herds. In spring, males and females will seperate with young males and females forming seperate groups and adult males living solitarily.

Wildlife viewing here in northwestern Wyoming is spectacular, especially when you can look at them out your front window.

BLM Land

Many properties are advertised as bordering BLM and often we are asked what this stands. BLM is an agency in the Department of Interior. The landscape that BLM manages in Northwest Wyoming is charterized by native rangeland for the most part. Sometimes BLM will adjoin National Forest. Since it is public land, if a property adjoins BLM, as a land owner, you can horseback ride or hike from your property across the BLM. ATV’s can only be used on marked roads. Being situated next to BLM offers additional privacy.The Clark area, which is 30 miles north of Cody at the base of the Beartooth Mountains, is checker boarded with BLM with large expanses that are closer to and adjoining National Forest.

Big Horn Sheep west of Cody, Wyoming

Cody, WyomingOn the last weekend of December 2010, we took a drive up the Northfork Highway, west of Cody, Wyoming, to the east gate of Yellowstone National Park. Teddy Roosevelt called it the most scenic 50 miles in the country. Inside the Shoshone National Forest, we started looking for wildlife. A buffalo was grazing peacefully in an open meadow. Then I spotted two beautiful rams. After a few minutes, they were joined by two more rams. Watching their actions was very intriguing. Two of them decided to cross the road right in front of our vehicle.

At that point, heads starting butting. Unfortunately, they were behind the guard rail. We decided to drive on toward Pahaska marveling in the the winter wonderland. On our return trip, the two rams had moved back across the road and were continuing the show. These are such majestic animals and it is always an exciting time viewing them.

If you are considering buying real estate in Wyoming, the Cody, Clark, Powell and Greybull areas have so much to offer. The mountains of Northwest Wyoming hold so much adventure and recreational opportunities for all ages. And this is all in our back yard.Cody, Wyoming

WINTER TIME IN WYOMING

Clark, WyomingThis weekend, my husband and I made our annual trip to the Line Creek Canyon in Clark, Wyoming at the base of the Beartooth Mountains to cut down our Christmas tree. This year we have had more snow that normal, so on our first attempt a week ago, we did not make it very far. The chinook winds had brought in warmer air, so some of the snow had melted. Normally, we criss cross back and forth across the creek, but with more snow this year we only made one crossing.I had another mission this year. I was to bring home the largest tree that I could get onto the 6 wheeler for the Carmelite Monastery. First, we cut our tree down and loaded it on top. Then I spotted the approximately 15 foot tree with pine cones and proceeded to climb up to it. We loaded it onto the 6 wheeler and started down the mountain.

It was another wonderful day in Wyoming!

CAPITOL CHRISTMAS TREE 2010 IN CODY,WYOMING

On Sunday, November 14, the 2010 Capital Christmas Tree came to Cody, Wyoming and was parked on 12th Street in front of the Irma Hotel. The tree was cut in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and is touring around Wyoming before heading east to the Capitol. The tree went down Sheridan Avenue to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center and then turned on Beck Avenue. I had a front row seat in front of our office on 12th Street when the semi hauling the 67 foot tree turned in front of us. I signed the side and a part of me will travel to the Capitol. The outpouring of enthusiasm throughout the state of Wyoming as the Capitol Tree travels around shows the spirit and patriotism of Wyominites. Wyoming, Forever West!

VETERAN’S DAY IN POWELL, WYOMING

This morning at 9:30 a.m., an assembly was held at the Powell High School to honor Veterans. My husband is a veteran and a member of the Powell Honor Guard. This morning when I walked into the school, doors were held open and I was greeted by students. At 9:30, Veterans from the community were individually escorted into the auditorium and seated in the front middle rows. The Powell High School band and choir were on stage. Several speakers spoke. The band played the military branch songs and members of each respective branch stood as their song was played. At that point, the Honor Guard went outside and that portion was shown on a drop down screen. The assembly was ended with the playing of Taps. Afterwards, in the common area, cookies and coffee was served to the Veterans and students came up to thank them for their service to their country. It certainly was a very moving ceremony. Thank you Powell High School.
