Stephen CollectorGUEST
Yeah.

And I also just came back from a road trip up in the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming and where I did some fishing and I wrote about it.
Stephen CollectorGUEST
And so I'm still writing stories.
Stephen CollectorGUEST
The summer issue of the Drake's got a story I wrote about the Gunnison River in it right now.
Swamp DwellerHOST
I'm just glad it's over.
Swamp DwellerHOST
Something in the Bighorn Mountains by Cam I was younger when this story occurred.
Swamp DwellerHOST
Of course, all the adults say kids have a wild imagination, even though my buddy and I swore up and down that this had happened.
Swamp DwellerHOST
Anywho, let's get to the story.
Swamp DwellerHOST
It was toward the end of the week, and my mom and her boyfriend at the time, I wanted to go up the mountain to his family's cabin.
Swamp DwellerHOST
I live north of Wyoming where the Bighorn Mountains reside.
Swamp DwellerHOST
As a 12 year old, I asked my mom if I could bring my buddy.
Swamp DwellerHOST
For his safety, his name will be Nick.

Now, here's Stewardship Coordinator Pete Madsen with an update from the field.
Pete MadsenCORRESPONDENT
Earlier this fall, I made my way down to north central Wyoming on the eastern slope of the Bighorn Mountains to partner with the Powder River Fence Initiative, the Buffalo BLM Field Office, and the US Forest Service to work on a number of fence exclosures that needed to be taken down.
Pete MadsenCORRESPONDENT
So some of these fences had been identified as needing to be removed for a long time and had made their way onto the Powder River Fence Initiatives to-do list.
Pete MadsenCORRESPONDENT
And I was lucky enough to partner with those good folks.

Devante's Jeep was found several miles outside of town along a very remote road that is said to be used by bentonite mining trucks.
JenniferHOST
Greybull sits in Bighorn County within the Bighorn Basin, has a population of just over 1,600, and you have the Bighorn Mountains to the east and several highways going east and west through that area.
JenniferHOST
The Bighorn and the Greybull Rivers are also very important water features in this local landscape.
JenniferHOST
The greater countryside around Grebel does include those rivers, along with some tributaries, a lot, a lot of agricultural land, and stretches of exposed badlands.

Billie Danelle Bennett disappeared in July of 2021.
JenniferHOST
Her black pickup truck was found abandoned near the Crystal Creek Rest Area on U.S. Highway 14A.
JenniferHOST
This would be east of Lovell in the Bighorn Mountains.
JenniferHOST
Her belongings, including her wallet and ID, were still inside her pickup truck.
AshleyHOST
But then as time went on, we started pining for somewhere a little further afield, if you catch my drift there as well.
AshleyHOST
And that's how we settled on heading out to the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, or more specifically, the Cloud Peak Wilderness.
AshleyHOST
The Cloud Peak Wilderness is the centerpiece of a roadless block of land that's almost 200,000 acres in size, making it one of the single largest wilderness areas in the entirety of North America.
AshleyHOST
If ever we were going to get the full Lewis and Clark experience, it was there.
Roland RamblerHOST
When the market for beaver pelts collapsed, Bridger shifted to guiding military and scientific expeditions under Captain Howard Stansbury, Lieutenant Gouverneur K. Warren, and Captain William F. Reynolds.
Roland RamblerHOST
In 1864, he blazed the Bridger Trail west of the Bighorn Mountains, giving emigrants a route to the Montana goldfields that avoided the violent friction along the Bozeman Trail through Powder River country.
Roland RamblerHOST
Yet alongside his cartographic genius, Bridger cultivated a legendary reputation for outrageous tall tales.
Roland RamblerHOST
When he returned from the high plateau of Yellowstone in the 1820s and 1830s, his straightforward descriptions of geysers, steam vents, boiling mud pots and sulphur springs were met with open disbelief back east.
Don DayCORRESPONDENT
And there's another little wave that's going to do that again tonight and tomorrow morning in parts of the west.
Don DayCORRESPONDENT
And the Bighorns will get some snow showers.
Don DayCORRESPONDENT
And these little waves kick the wind up as they go through.
Don DayCORRESPONDENT
I think today's probably the worst of the wind.

That's so healthy to put a little lid on it.
Sara YeamanGUEST
So I haven't been able to video those yet.
Sara YeamanGUEST
I tried and the snow was hit up in the Bighorns right now.
Sara YeamanGUEST
So I wasn't really able to get in there.
