Good evening to Glenrock, Wyoming and beyond (said like Count Dracula)... its been a few days since I've posted anything to my blog and I suppose that's because I've been busy getting the digital version of Volume 2 Issue 3 of Open Range Magazine completed and distributed. We've introduced a new part of the magazine, Its called the East Coast Side of Open Range Magazine... so what we've accomplished is a fabulous group of gorgeous photographs and fabulous articles from the East Coast to the West Coast. Its pretty amazing if I do say so myself. The Cowboy Cuisine Recipe Section (proudly called Bunkhouse Recipes) is once again a huge hit for Open Range Magazine. And we proudly boast one of the worlds most well known and sought after western artists, Mr. Tim Cox. Cox's Western Art is amazing and I can assure you that if you don't already own a Western Art piece from Tim Cox, you will surely want to after this fabulous article written by Codi Vallerie.
There is everything from our East Coast writer Jackson Braun's view on finding Cowboys in New York , to Tena Bastian's flavorful article of Oklahoma's Clanahan Clan. Dave P Fisher, Cowboy Poet and Writer extraordinaire joins us for another great story about the adventures of Jack and Cleve!
Working the Cow Herd by Nevada Cattleman Association's Second Vice President Jon Griggs gives a fine lesson in one of the necessary steps that cowboys must take in the fall/winter season of raising cattle.
There's just so much packed into this fabulous magazine! I'm proud of every issue of Open Range in its last two and half years... but this one, with the introduction of Living the Western Way of Life East Coast Style really takes the cake. I hope you all take the time to subscribe (go green and subscribe digitally! Its Cheaper that way! ) and see just how incredible this magazine really is. Thanks for everyone for their continued support in the endeavor of Open Range Magazine.
Well I'm off to blog a little bit about The Glenrock Bird now, and how one tiny little smalltown newspaper made a really big impact in the great big world of media. Thanks for tuning in and have a beautiful Glenrock, Wyoming kind of night!
God Bless and have a very beautiful and safe night.

Ow! WOWZA! What a day!
Its been a day in Glenrock, Wyoming ....
Well folks, I can hardly believe it myself ... but (pinches self) The Glenrock Bird received an anonymous tip about 2:00 this afternoon that what is believed to be a human skull was accidentally unearthed in Central Wyoming by a Glenrock Plumbing Contractor who was digging about 6 feet down to fix a water pipe. He saw the skull and immediately stopped his backhoe and jumped down to locate the owner of the land, who then promptly called Police. By the time The Glenrock Bird staff (myself and my reporter/photogapher) arrived .. we were just minutes behind the Coroner, two detectives and three sheriff. It was a crazy scene to say the least and the Coroner did confirm with The Glenrock Bird that the skull "appears to be human, but of what age we cannot be sure." An Anthropologist was called in to meet the Coroner and the detectives at the Coroners headquarters, where the skull was taken to. Although the area is not yet determined to be a crime scene, Sheriff's Deputies did state that all digging in the area must be halted until further notice. It was an exciting day for The Glenrock Bird , if this turns out to be a crime scene, then perhaps (and this is only an assumption) a missing person's family will finally get some closure, if this is a Native Indian skull, well we will be experiencing a piece of Wyoming's History. If this skull is from the remains of a Pioneer traveling the Oregon Trail, then we will also experience a piece of Wyoming's History. Any which way this goes, it is unusual for a small town newspaper like The Glenrock Bird to receive such a huge story. My reporter and I traveled about a half an hour out into the County's most rural ranching areas in blowing snow and freezing temperatures to chase this story down. We walked through knee high sagebrush and tumbleweeds (I in my fabulous skirt and high heeled designer cowboy boots and a gorgeous leopard print coat, and Jess in her sneakers, and her stylish Suede and White Fur Collar coat, both of us gloveless)... clearly we were not dressed for the occasion but it didn't matter as we trudged through the snow, and scrub brush to grab this story. We were exhilarated even though the temperatures were in the teens and those all too familiar Wyoming winds were picking up. We were respectfully welcomed by the Authorities who answered questions for us once the skull was safely tucked away in the Coroners vehicle. So, its been an exciting day.... neither one of us can feel our fingers (I'm typing with two pencils.. just kidding) but we are excited to follow up on this story and get it out to our faithful readers. Its truly amazing, days like this when the heart gets pumping and the blood gets going and you feel that old adrenalin start to work on your motivation and before you know it, you don't feel the cold or the wind or the sagebrush tripping up our feet as we walked carefully near the site. You only feel that moment in time where you realize like all the times before, that you are responsible, time and again, to deliver the news to the people. We'll be breaking this story on our website this evening at www.theglenrockbird.com. - While you are there, check out the Bird Public Radio where we feature Sunday morning broadcasts with Bird reporters Bill Keesee and Mark Dosa and where throughout the week we broadcast Garrison Keillor's "The News from Lake Wobegon." Have a beautiful and very safe night folks.. its snowing in Glenrock this evening and the roads are slicker than snot.
God Bless,
