State Archeologist Spencer Pelton shows off some recently unearthed Native American trade beads, which used to decorate clothing. The beads were uncovered at the Willow Creek Site in Albany County.
An archeological dig site in Albany County has turned up a treasure trove of old artifacts after a dig was conducted last week.
The Willow Creek site outside of Tie Siding has been a known archeological hotspot since University of Wyoming archeologist William Malloy excavated the area decades ago.
The Willow Creek site sits along a travel corridor used by those on the Overland Trail, and before that the Cherokee Trail. The travel corridor was likely well-traveled by humans and animals for hundreds of years before Westerners arrived, according to State Archeologist Spencer Pelton, who was on-site last week.
There is opposition to these massive windfarm projects that are coming to Wyoming, in fact such opposition created the video above. So far, however, the opposition is losing and the landscape is filling with turbine blades.
In a 4-1 vote the Wyoming state land commissioners agreed to lease 4,804 acres south of Laramie for a wind farm.
ConnectGen now has a 40 year deal which will only be the beginning.
Eventually this will be a 26,000-acre development, 80% of which is to be built on private land.
Tie Siding is a small, rather spread out community just 18 miles south of Laramie. What they don t want to see is the proposed 60 miles of new roads along with 105 miles of electrical collection lines on poles and substations.
CHEYENNE â One of the more gnarly issues to face the elected officials who sit on the state Board of Land Commissioners came up again recently and is likely to return.
During their Nov. 5 meeting the board members voted against granting ConnectGen a lease on state land for its proposed wind energy farm in Albany County, a big project.
The decision came after the board members â Gov. Mark Gordon, Secretary of State Ed Buchanan, Auditor Kristi Racines, State Treasurer Curt Meier and State Superintendent of Public instruction Jillian Balow â heard testimony for and against the project, but mostly against.
The case is an example of the conflict between the public majorityâs wishes â rejection of the lease â and the boardâs legal responsibility to the school trust to get the most money possible from the state school lands for the benefit of the schools.
