Glenrock

The road entered heavy forest where I hoped the canopy would provide cover, but two of the objects moved directly over the road and continued tracking us above the tree line.

The road eventually brought us into Glenrock and we continued on into Casper.

We pulled into the parking lot of the Cumming Hotel where we were staying and remained inside the truck to keep watch.

They maintained greater distance once we reached the city limits, hovering and not flashing steadily.

During the fur trade times in the 1820s and 1830s, many travelers crossed at Red Buttes, west of present Casper.

In the early and mid-1840s, wagon train immigrants began crossing at a variety of places along 25 miles of river from the mouth of Deer Creek at present-day Glenrock, Wyoming to Casper.

Many made small boats by emptying their wagons, removing the wagon box from the running gear, caulking the boxes watertight with tar, dismantling the running gear into pieces, then ferrying everything across the water in the wagon boxes using poles or oars for guidance, and often using ox or human power to tow the craft across the water with long ropes.

This was a fairly reliable method, but due to the unloading, dismantling, and reloading, very slow.

It was right before one of the most significant fire seasons we've seen in Wyoming in a couple decades.

Lawmakers allocated over $7.5 million to relocate this helibase from Glen Rock to this Casper Natrona County International Airport.

State Forester Kelly Norris actually talked to lawmakers about this year's pretty significant fire season earlier this year.

This has been one of Wyoming's busiest and most complex fire seasons in recent years.

Yeah.

So you're reaching out, and don't fail to mention that Glen Rock constantly has 60 mile per hour winds.

So, you know, there's that.

Yeah, you want all the stability you can get.

Cowboy State Daily's Colby Fedor reports that now the sheriff's investigating.

The Lazy Eight sits in Natrona County, but that bus stop takes kids to Glenrock schools.

So every day, parents are confronted with this messaging that includes explicit language that they don't want their children to see.

I spoke with a man on Monday afternoon who claims to be the owner.

Lovell over Lyman in a close one.

Glenrock beat Wheatland, another close one there.

And Moorcroft lost to Tongue River 8-7.

Fun high school football weekend for sure.

I'm not going to race down to the meeting in...

Glenrock, I'm not going to race down to the latest meeting in Jackson to see if we should renew the flock thing.

I'm just, meh.

M-E-H, capital letters.

Thermop beat Lovell, 13-9.

Burns beat Glenrock, 15-6.

And Torrington over Newcastle, 41-21.

Yeah, Class 1A, nine-man.
