    U.S. says it will cut costs for clean energy projects on public lands

    This is a fascinating discussion. I've never had this particular talk with so many informed folks and so little mud-slinging. We have this in common: No habitat, no hunting.

    U.S. says it will cut costs for clean energy projects on public lands

    I'm sorry for your loss Ben. Your dad was a hero. This was also the story for many Southern Utahns and Navajos who worked in the uranium mines. You may have read TT Williams's "Refuge" that includes a very similar, personal story about her mom and aunt who were "downwinders." The proposed...

    Shell, the Oil Giant, Will Sell Renewable Energy to Texans - "Shell, which already has electricity businesses in nine countries, plans to double the amount of electricity it sells by 2030. The company, which is based in London, has also said it aims to reach net-zero emissions of greenhouse...

    U.S. says it will cut costs for clean energy projects on public lands

    I live next to Exhibit A. Since it was carved out of the desert, I've had a hard time breathing when recreating outdoors in winter (ground-level ozone was higher than in LA); I've seen mule deer, pronghorn, and sage grouse numbers plummet in this and the adjacent gas field, seen my little town...

    What is the most bears you have seen in 1 night?

    Have to tell this story. One evening I arrived late to a narrow camp site between two lakes; it was almost twilight. I hung my food, set up the tent and crawled into my sleeping bag. Just before drifting off, I thought of my pepper spray that had long before expired. I decided to test it to...

    Ultimate Marriage Test

    Irrigating! Happens every summer: my HUGE vegetable and flower gardens (my domain) vs. the lawn (his domain). Seems like we both want the ditch water at the same time, but in very different places. I guess we are lucky to have water though. 🌼

    This is why we can't have nice things

    Twenty-four volumes of words in the Oxford English Dictionary and he learned only one word well. Huh.

    WY - BLM - Lease Sale

    True, the P. Anticline was mostly directionally drilled, but the Jonah was not until much later, which is why there are 16 well pads per section and it looks like it does in the photo above posted by elkduds. Encana insisted that it couldn't use directional drilling in the tight gas sands. The...

    Mountain Lions!

    Opened the tent one October morning, still in my sleeping bag, and on the slope above me I saw tails whipping around. Was confused at first, but two lions came rushing down toward the lake after a squirrel. One stopped when it saw my tent and started to walk toward me. I debated whether to go...

    Women in the outdoors

    After many years of walking & camping alone, I found that the original jitters went away. Nothing bad ever happened. What did happen was a greater ability to sense what was around me through sound, smell, & sign. So when danger truly was near, I was able to cope. There have been and continue...

    Hobbies other than hunting?

    Lotsa variety keeps it interesting here. Fishing, sewing, gardening, learning ArcGIS, community organizing (for a bike lane for my new e-bike), woodworking, hiking, camping, beadwork, photography/videography, writing, conservation work. Sometimes I cook & clean the house.

    Podcast Episodes on Public-Private Property Rights at Intersecting Corners

    The Wyoming House did not consider HB0130 for introduction. But if this ridiculous bill does come back, I'd be interested to hear more about how the air above private property is also private. I may be able to keep my neighbors from aerial spraying GD herbicides & insecticides that drift onto...

    Women in the outdoors

    Hi Sam: I'm in the same boat as you: not a lot of expendable income. Once I found the right rifle, I found that clothing & equipment I already have will serve well to take me through my beginning stages of learning. I do wish I could learn to use a bow, but I'm not strong enough. The cost of...
