Old West adventures await across the Cowboy State’s colorful Carbon County
Quite likely the most gruesome artifact on exhibit in any museum in Wyoming (maybe the West) is the pair of shoes at the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins. They might appear to be just simple leather shoes, and they are…except that the leather is the skin of Big Nose George Parrott.
When on a history tour of Carbon County, Wyoming, a key stop is Encampment’s Grand Encampment Museum, a superior collection of 14 relocated and restored mining camp buildings.

The skinning came after the hanging from a telegraph pole in front of the Hugus Store on Front Street in Rawlins…and that happened after Parrott hit Sheriff James G. Rankin over the head with a pair of shackles and then escaped from the county jail.

For most of us, Mother’s Day is time to reflect on the memories of childhood and the visions of your mother, with that smile that warms your soul and provides you with that safe feeling. It’s also a time to be celebrated as a mother and the warm and safe environment provided to your family.

It appears that the effects of the pandemic have only made Aspen’s commercial real estate scene even more desirable than it has been in recent years.
Downtown Aspen has one retail space available for summer occupancy, according to Angi Wang, a broker at Setterfield & Bright.
She and fellow broker Karen Setterfield said they haven’t seen this kind of demand ever.
“It’s stronger than it’s ever been, and I’ve been doing this for 30 years,” Setterfield said. “Everyone wants Aspen. … We are out of spaces, and we have unlimited demand for retail spaces.”
Remember Matt Jamerson, the Scout who landscaped the Thomas Isaac Log Cabin as part of his Eagle Scout project? Well, I was by there the other day, too, and all of his hard work is paying off with some very nice flower beds getting ready to blossom.
