ramblings By: René Huge

People who live in Wyoming log many miles on the road.

If you want to go anywhere in this state, unless you’ve got wings, a horse, snowmobile or some other worthy transportation device, you’re destined for the road. If you’ve got kids in sports, you’ll travel even more.

I’ve done my fair share of driving through the years. Road trip used to be my middle name.

In fact, for one period of my life, I lived on the road, travelling around the U.S. for six months in my yellow Volvo station wagon. I am no stranger to the road trip.

Wyoming people spend many hours on road So, when you live someplace like this driving is a prerequisite, but it’s all relative. It’s not like we are stuck in traffic all day getting from point A to point B to C to D. Here, long stretches of Wyoming landscape become familiar quickly, and those once regarded as barren and desolate become beautiful in the eyes of the beholders.

The idea of commuting in a big city where it takes 40 minutes to drive 15 miles to work in busy, stop-and-go traffic twice daily sounds like hell on earth to me. But driving 30 minutes on the Powell Highway with maybe 40 other people is totally manageable – even relaxing at times. And a twominute drive to the grocery store – perfect.

Quality of life comes in all shapes and sizes, and for me I am certain it no longer

Third Nitty Gritty marathon Sept. 21 in Red Lodge has 14.7 miles uphill Prepare to go off road during the Nitty Gritty Dirt Race on Sept. 21 at Red Lodge Mountain.

This is the third year for the race, which will consist of a marathon with 14.7 miles of climbing (3,400 feet of elevation gain) all on dirt roads and single track trails.

Form a six or three runner relay team to tackle the event, or if you have the grit, solo for a full 26.2 miles. Awards will be given as racers finish.

After the event, relax at the base lodge courtyard and enjoy some music and food.

Cost of the race is $50 for an individual, $165 for a team of three and $330 for a team of six.

On race day set up camp and pick up packets at 7 a.m. The race starts at 9 a.m., with food and music noon-3 p.m.

resembles the mad chaos of major metropolitan populations, at least not full time. I love to visit them, but I don’t need to live in them. The energy in big cities is infectious and fun – in small doses.

I grew up in a small town though, compared to Cody, some might consider it a major metropolitan area. I was accustomed to the rural lifestyle a small, southern Indiana town of 40,000 offers. But I also did a stint in Phoenix, and various other size communities through the years, so I have a fairly wellrounded sense of what different sized towns have to offer.

Cody is by far the smallest town in which I’d ever consider raising children. Upon first contemplation it seemed like the middle of nowhere – isolated and difficult to get to, or worse yet, away from. I was nervous

about it, but I still agreed to move here – after a February scouting trip 20 years ago.

We all know how fabulous Wyoming is in the windy throes of winter. My friend took a picture of me out on Chapman Bench where we stopped to soak in the splendiferous backdrop of the Beartooth Mountains on that particular trip. My hair was blowing straight up.

I still, to this day, can’t believe I was smart enough to see the roses through the thorns ... But I was.

We live in an amazing place – a place ripe with opportunity and adventure – for those who are willing to see it and go for it. I can’t believe I ever worried there wouldn’t be enough to entertain me here. There most definitely is, and if I ever feel like there’s not, there are plenty of roads still to travel.

Arizona musician spends summers playing with Triple C Cowboys in Cody

By GREG ELLISON Staff writer Ryan Martin defines a working musician.

“I’ve played guitar for a living since age 15,” he said.

For the past six summers Ryan Martin and the Triple C Cowboys have entertained audiences nightly at Cody Cattle Co. Nimble-fingered Martin, 37, plays alongside fellow picker and longtime friend Andrew Wilson.

Both are award-winning musicians.

Martin is the current Arizona flatpicking champion. Wilson the current Western State flatpicking champion.

Representing the Triple C Cowboys is Wilson along with his entire musical clan. Wife Deanna Wilson plays strings and sings.

Sons Jake, 15, Zach, 14, and Brandon, 11, and little sister Cara, 7, all appear on stage as well and hold their own.

Deanna is a serious multiinstrumentalist who “plays 420 different instruments.” Jake, following in his father’s footsteps, is also a flatpicking champion.

Zach runs sound and lights and jumps on stage to play some pedal steel guitar. Even young Brandon and Cara can carry a tune and have a stage presence.

It’s truly a family of performers.

The musical pairing of the Wilsons and Martin is born of friendship, in addition to musical chops.

Martin and Deanna were already teenage friends when she started dating Andrew at age 17. All three have been close since that time.

Martin plays numerous other venues in Cody, including Millstone Pizza Co. & Brewery, The Irma, Pat

O’Hara Brewing Co. and Buffalo Jump Winery.

Originally from Amarillo, Texas, he has lived in Phoenix for the past 15 years. He has spent the past six summers in Cody entertaining tourists and locals alike.

Before starting his yearly pilgrimage to Cody, Martin was a sought after guitar instructor in Phoenix.

“I had 40 students a week, and a waiting list 60-70 deep,” he said.

Constant gigs in Phoenix and Cody helped Martin secure a guitar sponsorship deal with Twangcaster.

“They gave me one guitar and I got them enough referrals they ended up giving me a second,” he said with a grin. “I’ve been state guitar champion in Colorado, New Mexico and California. In 2000 I was named Instrumentalist of the Year by the International Western Music Association.”

Martin is a musical chameleon, ranging stylistically from traditional country and Western, to blues, heavy metal, old school rock, bluegrass and jazz.

Also a seasoned studio musician, Martin has played with country singers such as Buck Owens, Dusty Rogers, Lynn Anderson and Rex Allen Jr. Another tourist season in Cody is winding down. As the winter winds blow away the tumbleweeds, Martin will saddle up and fly south to Phoenix. But next year will bring a return to Cody with even more regular appearances. In addition to nightly performances at the Cody Cattle Co., Martin will play every Friday at Pat O’Hara Brewing Co. and Saturday at Buffalo Jump Winery.

Smithsonian exhibit full of ‘treasures’

By TRAVIS SMOLA Staff writer National treasures and unusual prototypes are part of a special display at the Cody Firearms Museum in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

In total, 64 firearms from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., are on loan in a lower level display.

“This exhibit is a story of success and failure,” CFM assistant curator Ashley Hlebinsky said. “It’s an interesting story of people.”

She is one of the main experts on the exhibit.

Among the display’s big draws is a goldinlaid, 7-foot, North African Miquelet Jezail musket. The elaborate firearm was owned

by Thomas Jefferson. It was a gift from the ambassador of the Bey of Tunis in 1805.

Hlebinsky said the gift was given as a peace offering that marked the conclusion of the Tripolitan Wars.

The weapon is one of four “National Treasures” featured in the exhibit.

Another big draw is a huge, multi-bladed, folding knife from 1880 that features a .22 caliber revolver.

“This is the mother of all Swiss Army knives,” Hlebinsky said.

The knife has more than 100 blades, and includes almost everything except a bottle opener because it had not been invented yet.

She said the knife was created not to be practically used, but as an advertising piece in a New York store window.

Another of Hlebinsky’s favorites is a goldinlaid, Russian Jaeger Flintlock hunting rifle that belonged to Catherine the Great in 1730.

“It has a velvet cheek piece so her royal skin would never touch the stock,” Hlebinsky said.

The display also displays many patent models for firearms innovations in America.

One of these is a wooden model of a Gatlin gun from 1862. Hlebinsky said Richard Gatlin designed the gun near the end of the Civil War in the hopes it would reduce the number of troops needed on the battlefield. It was

“From a moral perspective, he thought it would really shock people,” Cody Firearms Museum Curator Warren Newman said. “He thought it would end warfare.”

Another notable prototype is a Smith & Wesson pistol with a lever-action.

“What not everyone knows is Smith & Wesson ultimately invented the lever-action Winchester used,” Hlebinsky said.

Smith & Wesson sold the patent to Winchester in 1855, which ultimately proved to be extremely successful.

“The Gatlin gun and lever action became the iconic guns of the West,” Newman said.

Also notable are some Colt revolving cylinder rifles. The cylinders on the rifles resemble the ones on the iconic Colt revolver.

“It was one of Colt’s favorite inventions,” Hlebinsky said. “But it wasn’t as well-

received.”

So far, the exhibit has proved to be extremely popular.

“This display is like a magnet,” Newman said.

Marguerite House, director of public relations at the Center, agrees.

“The association with the Smithsonian is, quite simply, great exposure for us,” House said. “It’s been hugely popular with our visitors, both on site and online.”

Hlebinsky said the Center will have the display for three years. She also hopes to rotate in new guns from the Smithsonian in the future when possible.

Center Director/CEO Bruce Eldredge was equally appreciative of the exhibit.

“We’re pleased to offer this collection during a several-year period not only to residents, but also to visitors to our region,” he said.

Meeteetse Museums share area history

By SCOTT ALLEN Staff writer There’s only one place where you can see two award-winning artists, a stuffed-bear, black-footed ferret exhibit and historical bank in the same place.

That place is in Meeteetse at the Meeteetse Museums, which includes the Charles Belden Photography Museum, the Meeteetse Museum and the Bank Museum.

The Meeteetse Museums have been open since the 1970s.

They are free to the public and includes permanent and temporary exhibits, educational seminars, culturally based entertainment and organized tours to archaeological and historical destinations near Meeteetse.

There’s almost too much to see.

“You can’t pick a favorite they all have something to offer ” museums director David Cunningham said.

The Belden Museum features the photographic works of Charles Belden, many of which document daily life on the Pitchfork Ranch from 1914 through the early 1940s.

The Belden Museum showcases the memorabilia of the photographer and his family such as furniture, dresses, textiles, artifacts, arrowheads and saddles.

The exhibit “Little Wahb, the Grizzly Bear” and the Olive Fell Gallery are located there as well as the “Marlboro Man” photos that were taken on the Pitchfork.

There’s also a quilt display from the Chatelaine Quilt Guild 2014 Quilt Show that features 12 quilts. It will be on display until Oct. 11.

The museum features 3,000 shots of Belden’s work from

Meeteetse Museums collections manager Rachel DeShong and museums director David Cunningham stand near the“Little Wahb, the Grizzly Bear” exhibit. around the area.

“Belden was well known for his shots of the surrounding dude ranches,” Cunningham said. “He was featured on magazines like Time and Life.”

A current exhibit in the Belden Museum is the Harry Jackson exhibit, which features work from the famous sculptor.

Jackson was influenced by Belden’s work so much he ran away from his Chicago home at age 14 to come out to the Pitchfork.

The exhibit shows Jackson’s early work next to his later sculptures to show the influence that the Pitchfork had. It will be on display until Dec. 13.

Next to the Belden Museum is the Meeteetse Museum. This area includes “Made in Meeteetse: the Black-Footed Ferret,” which shares the tale of the black-footed ferret, a near-extinct species that was found on the Pitchfork.

Also the Forest Service Cabin, which includes an albino skunk, the “Meeteetse Mercantile,” the

Saddle Room, a surrey with fringe on top and Mike Crocker’s “Wild Sheep of North America” which features a bull, desert, stone and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep on display.

There’s even an old coffee grinder that kids can use to grind coffee beans.

Cunningham said they plan to get a new exhibit that will feature art loaned from the Forest Service of burn areas and paleo-Indian art.

“We’re going to talk about how it’s important to leave what you find because every piece is an important part in a puzzle,” he said.

In the spring they’ll also have an exhibit that focuses on the old businesses of Meeteetse, Cunningham adds.

The Bank Museum is located in the newly restored First National Bank of Meeteetse, which served as Meeteetse’s bank from 19011975.

It is full of artifacts that tell the story of the bank, its founders and

employees. The time period for the bank is the 1920s.

The bank recently finished a two-part restoration that updated the interior and exterior thanks to the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund providing a $55,000 grant.

“We hope to have a new exhibit by spring that will show the story of the bank with photos, art and text.”

Other than exhibits, the museum offers free tours to various locations during the summer such as the ghost mining town of Kirwin and Legend Rock.

Visitors who like variety will enjoy visiting Meeteetse Museums.

“I loved seeing all the different things here,” vistor Karen Larson of Eugene, Ore., said.

The museums are open Monday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-4 p.m. until Nov. 1 when the hours change to Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
