remont County was created in 1884. It included Park, Big Horn, and Hot Springs counties until 1890 when they split. It was named for General John Charles Fremont, who was a surveyor and explorer searching for a route to the Pacific ocean in 1842.
The Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming’s only Indian Reservation, covers much of Fremont County. The reservation is shared by the Shoshone and Arapaho Indians. Fremont County produces more than half of the uranium in Wyoming, which is second in the United States in uranium production. Jade also found in Fremont County which is the Wyoming State gem stone. The Absaroka Mountains, named for the Crow or Absaroka Indians, are also located in Fremont county. South Pass, a break in the continental divide, is also located in Fremont county. Indians had been using the pass for centuries before Robert Stuart and his group were the first whites to cross the pass October 12, 1812. The first horse drawn wagons to cross the pass were lead by Captain Benjamin Bonneville in 1832. Gold was discovered here in 1842. The big boom came in 1867 when the Carissa mine (Named for Carissa Whitney who is thought to be the first white child born in Wyoming), Miner Delight, and Burr mines were discovered, producing millions of dollars in gold. Over 5,000 people came to the area during this time to search for gold.

Backpacking 101
What you need to know to get started. Sleep under the stars in a remote wilderness destination, fall asleep next to a babbling creek, and sip coffee while the rising sun casts a golden light on your backcountry camp. Yes, backpacking is as inspiring as it sounds. Backpacking is essentially the combination of camping and hiking, but even if you are a seasoned camper, there are a few things to consider before you hit the trail and go backpacking for the first time.
Get Fit Before You Go Many first-time backpackers complain about their aching back and shoulders, or those darn blisters on their feet. If you get fit before you go backpacking, you’ll feel better and have more fun. This includes breaking in your hiking shoes! Simply wearing your boots around town while you run errands or taking a few short hikes will help break in your boots. Remember to wear the socks that you will be hiking in to assure a proper fit. You should also get your body in shape for backpacking. Wear your backpack on short hikes so your body can get used to hiking with the added weight of a backpack. Start with a half-loaded pack on and gradually increase the weight and the distance of your training hikes.
Test Your Gear Before you walk for miles into the backcountry, you’ll want to know how to set up your tent, use your water filter, and cook 6
on your camping stove. Create a list of the essentials that you’ll need Hit the Trail like a tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, water filter and stove, and make sure you know how each piece of equipment works. You may realize Now that you are in shape, you’ve tested your gear, and planned your that you’re missing a tent pole or that your borrowed sleeping bag has route, it’s time to hit the trail and go backpacking! Keep backpacking a hole in it. etiquette and the environment in mind while you’re in the wilderness. It also helps to pack all of your gear into your pack before walking out the door to go backpacking. You’ll want to make sure everything fits, that your pack isn’t heavier than you can handle, and that you know how to pack according to weight distribution.
Plan your Backpacking Adventure A little bit of research and planning will help make sure your backpacking adventure is fun, safe and enjoyable. First, find a friend to go with you. It’s safer to have a backpacking companion and easier since you can share the basic equipment. Next, select a destination within your hiking capability. Get a map of the area you’d like to visit and calculate mileage and elevation within your comfort level. If your trip starts and ends at different trailheads, make sure there is transportation to help you get back to your car, or bring a second car for a shuttle. Another option is to basecamp in one spot for the duration of your trip and spend the extra days relaxing, day hiking, climbing or fishing.
Most backpackers walk into the wilderness for peace and solitude, but you will most likely see others along the trail and possibly at your destination. Whenever possible, don’t camp directly next to someone and always camp in an existing campsite if available. Remember that your voice carries in the quiet setting of the great outdoors. Always set up camp 100 feet from water and never wash your dishes directly in a creek or lake. You’ll need to bury your waste more than 6 inches deep, and away from freshwater sources. Though toilet paper is biodegradable, it is best to burn or pack out your paper products. If campfires are permitted, make sure to keep them under control at all times and to drown all campfires before going to sleep at night. http://www.reserveamerica.com/outdoors/backpacking-101-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-you-started.htm
401 Carson Street * 307.455.2235 * bgcdubois.org
When planning your destination, make sure to look into the water sources in the area. You’ll need to filter your water and want to know that your destination has a reliable water source. Once you have decided on a destination and route, you should contact the ranger district to get information about permits and regulations. Before you go, check the weather so you’ll be prepared, but also keep in mind that weather patterns can change and you’ll want to be prepared for anything. 7

Riverton -WY-
Welcome to Riverton Wyoming, one of the finest small towns in the west, a town where “friendly” isn’t just a word or saying it is a way of life. Riverton was originally inhabited by the Arapaho and Shoshone Native Americans. It is named because four rivers meet near the city. The town of Riverton was established in 1906. The area was originally served by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, and became its supplier of railroad ties in 1914.

When you think of exercise, you may imagine strenuous activities such as running or biking — the ones that make you breathe hard, turn flush and drip with sweat. But aerobic activity is only one type of exercise, and although it is critical for boosting fitness, there are actually three other types of exercise that are also important: strength training, balance training and flexibility training.
gained or lost a lot of weight or those who become pregnant, which can throw off your center of gravity.
Flexibility Excercise Flexibility exercises stretch your muscles and may improve your range of motion at your joints. They can improve your flexibility, and reduce your risk of injury during sports and other activities.
Each type of exercise is important in its own way, and doing all four types is the way to maximize your fitness and prevent injury, experts say.
Aerobic Excercise Aerobic exercises, such as running, swimming or dancing, are activities that work your cardiovascular system — they get your heart rate up and make you breathe harder. This type of exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, and may even lower the risk of cancer.
Strength Excercise Strength exercises, such as weight lifting, push-ups and crunches, work your muscles by using resistance (like a dumbbell or your own body weight.) This type of exercise increases lean muscle mass, which is particularly important for weight loss, because lean muscle burns more calories than other types of tissue.
Balance Excercise Balance exercises improve your ability to control and stabilize your body’s position. This type of exercise is particularly important for older adults, because balance gets worse with age. But balance exercises can be beneficial for everyone, including people who have 12

Putting it all together Ideally, you should include all four types of exercise in your workouts. But that doesn’t mean you have to do four separate workouts. You can combine some exercises together, like strength and balance training. For example, you could do bicep curls while standing on one leg. Some workouts, such as yoga, incorporate strength, flexibility and balance exercises. A sample workout might include running or walking briskly for 30 minutes on a treadmill for aerobic exercise, then doing strength and balance exercises combined, and finishing by doing some static stretches. Your exercise program should include a bit of all four types of exercise.

Dubois -WY-
HISTORY Dubois, Wyoming was originally known as Never Sweat, due to its warm and dry winds. However, the postal service found the name Never Sweat unacceptable so Dubois was accepted, named after Fred Dubois, an Idaho senator at the time. In protest, the citizens of Dubois rejected the French pronunciation, instead opting for Du with u as in Sue; bois, as oi in voice. The accent is on the first syllable. Sheep Eater Indians: Thousands of years before the arrival of European trappers and settlers, early Indians of unknown origins roamed the Dubois area and left behind stone tools and other evidence of their presence for archaeologists to discover and ponder. But who they were remains a mystery. The distinctive petroglyphs (rock art) pecked and carved on rocks in the Dinwoody and Torrey basins near Dubois are thought to have been the work of ancestors of the modern-day Shoshone Tribes who moved up from the Great Basin around 3,000 years ago. Their descendents, the Sheep Eater Indians (Mountain Shoshone), developed a lifestyle perfectly adapted to their rugged mountain homeland that sustained them for hun-

dreds of years. However, the Sheep Eater’s harmonious way of life ended when the Yellowstone area became a national park. They were rounded up and moved to other reservations. The remains of the Sheep Eater’s hunting traps and blinds, teepee rings, and vision quest sites are still visible in the mountains around Dubois. Tie Hacks: Wyoming Tie and Timber Company’s railroad tiecutting operations in the Shoshone National Forest near Dubois profoundly affected the economy of the Upper Wind River Valley for nearly 40 years. Between 1914 and 1946, Scandinavian loggers known as tie hacks produced over 10 million hand-hewn ties that were floated 100 miles down the Wind River to Riverton in massive weeks-long drives. A wooden flume constructed to carry the ties from the mountains to the river was considered a marvel of engineering at the time, and large sections of the flume are still visible today. The Scandinavian tie hacks also brought their culture and traditions to the tiny community growing up along the Wind River. Dubois’ annual spring Swedish Smorgasbord is a legacy of the tie hacks. The exploits of the hard-working tie hacks when they came into Dubois also became local legends. Tie hacks worked all winter in deep snow and bitter cold, and they played as hard as they worked when they came into town. The river tie drives ended in 1946 as the importance of railroads waned. Ties were trucked down from the mountains to Riverton for a few more years, but a colorful era had come to an end. Today, a memorial west of Dubois plays tribute to the rugged Scandinavian tie hacks. Where Real Cowboys Work and Play: Dubois, Wyoming is located half way between Lander, WY and Yellowstone National Park. Dubois is famous for fantastic snowmobiling, dude ranches, big horn sheep, and fishing. Visitor’s can enjoy pack horse races, rodeo, square dancing, the world famous Antler Rendezvous, and trail rides through some of the most spectacular wilderness in the lower 48 states. A rich Native American History, small town charm and the great outdoors are hallmarks of this high mountain Wyoming town.
MUSEUMS & HISTORIC SITES National Big Horn Sheep Interpretive Center: Learn about wild sheep through hands-on exhibits. Winter tours are available to provide a wonderful opportunity to view wildlife on the winter range of the Whiskey Mountain Herd.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION 22
Dubois Museum & Wind River Historical Center: A living history museum that presents and interprets the history of Wyoming’s Upper Wind River Valley including the Sheep Eater Indians. Tie Hack Memorial: The memorial honors the tie hacks, mostly men of Scandinavian descent, who cut railroad ties by hand in the first half of the 20th Century.
Petroglyphs: Visitors can explore several locations in the Torrey and Dinwoody Basins, where the earliest inhabitants of the Wind River Valley left behind signs of their presence in the form of stone tools, wood structures, tipi rings, and rock art. Historians believe rock art was used to record events, mark important places, worship, or simply as a form of creative expression. Although no one knows the exact significance of the images left behind in Wind River Country, their mystery and beauty are alluring.
EVENTS & FESTIVALS
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Swedish Smorgasbord: Everyone is invited to join the citizens of Dubois at the community’s annual Swedish Smorgasbord at the Dubois Headwaters Center on the second Saturday in June. The smorgasbord features traditional Scandinavian food and live entertainment.
Wildlife: Dubois, WY is home to one of the largest native Big Horn Sheep populations in the U.S. Visiting the Whiskey Peak herd is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not only can you see Big Horn Sheep, but moose, elk, grizzly bear, black bear, wolf, deer and mountain lion are abundant. Fishing: Fishing in the Wind River Range is an experience like no other. It has been called “one of the last great frontiers of U.S. fly fishing” by the Angling Report. The Wind River Range cuts a huge diagonal swath across west central Wyoming. Part of the Continental Divide, the Wind River Range boasts the state’s highest mountains. Altogether, this area contains 3,000 alpine lakes, 800 of which are known to hold fish, and dozens of major streams and tributaries. Eastwardly, its waters drain into the enormous Big Horn Basin, known in its upper stretches as the Wind River. Westwardly, the mountains drain into the Upper Green River. Trails: Dubois, like Lander, offers spectacular outdoor possibilities for the adventurous. A combined 806,349 acres of the most spectacular wilderness area in the lower 48 states stretches from the Cirque of Towers to the Absoraka Range. There are seven trailheads in the upper Wind River (Fitzpatrick and Washakie Wilderness) that allow access nearly 450 miles of nonmotorized trails, ATV trails, 16 miles of x-country ski trails and 135 miles of snowmobile trails. Snowmobile: Appealing to many sledders is the variety of riding available on the Continental Divide Snowmobile Trail. There’s something for everyone in terms of skill level and length of trail. There are hundreds of miles of groomed trails, or ungroomed powder. Plus, exceptional services are available throughout the trail system so you can end each day with a hot meal and comfortable lodging. Of course, if there isn’t good snow, there isn’t good snowmobiling. You can cound on the CDST to deliver this with not only deep snow but fresh powder. And Togwotee Pass, around 9,000 feet in elevation, is famous for its late spring snowmobiling. Excellent snowmobile services, lodging, restaurants and the amenities surrounding the town of Dubois add to the appeal of snowmobiling powder on Togwotee Pass.
WESTERN PLEASURE Rodeo: Dubois hosts a regular Friday night rodeo at 8 p.m. throughout the summer. It is a fantastic place to see experienced cowboys and cowgirls compete side by side with younger contestants trying to break into America’s Sport. Rodeo is and always will be more than a sporting event: it’s a way of life, it’s a gathering place and, for many, it is a right of passage. Join them in Dubois to be part of the authentic West. Horseback Riding: It’s hard to beat the view from the back of a horse. Take advantage of the experience and knowledgeable guides in the Dubois area and explore the country from the back of a horse. Western Square Dancing: Kick up your heels every Tuesday night at the Rustic Pine at 8:00. Enjoy part of the still Wild Wild West!
Dubois Antler Rendezvous: The largest one-of-a-kind gathering of antler buyers, brokers and crafters from coast to coast. Raw antler for sale: Moose, Elk, White Tail, Mule Deer, Reindeer, Red Stag, Fallow and more. Anything antler: lamps, jewelry, chandeliers and carvings. Always held in May, five days prior to Jackson Hole Elk Refuge Antler Auction.
Pack Horse Races: The Don Scheer Memorial Packhorse Race is held in late May at the Dubois Town Park. Each race consists of teams breaking down their camp, packing up one horse, saddle two other horses and trotting a 7-mile course. At which point they must unpack the horse, have a 15-minute break, trot another 7-mile course and set up camp again. The first team (2 people, 3 horses) to complete the course wins. Kite Day: Experience the fun as you make a kite during the “Kite Day” events in Dubois at the National Big Horn Sheep Interpretive Center, 907 W. Ramshorn St. Create your own kite and learn how to fly it! All kids and kids at heart are welcome. (Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.) A light lunch will be served at noon. Games, stories, and other activities are also planned. Source: www.landerchamber.org/dubois-wyo.html

Five Ways to Turn Saving Money into a Game While you’re probably well aware of how important it is to have a savings, it’s can be way too easy to put off. Maybe there are too many awesome things you want to do that require money—or you’re simply not sure how to get started. Saving your beans for a rainy day doesn’t have to be a buzzkill. You can even make it fun and get creative by turning it into a game. Here are five ways you can gamify your savings:
1. Go on a Spending Fast As part of a financial cleanse to rid yourself of negative money habits, trying going on a spending fast. You can commit to not spending at all in a given amount of time. If you’ve never gone on such a fast before, try it out for a week. As you gain more confidence, you can lengthen the time period. While it’s not usually something you can sustain indefinitely, it’ll help you re-examine your spending habits. Pauline Paquin, founder of Reach Financial Independence, suggests going on spending fasts in specific categories to boost your savings. “I often do small challenges such as no grocery shopping for a month, no car for a month, no beer for a month,” Paquin explains. “You have to be resourceful, and
24
even after the ban is lifted, you often learn to do with less.”
2. The One Percent Challenge Created by Paula Pant of Afford Anything, the One Percent Challenge is where you start by saving an additional percent of your earnings, then continue saving another percent each month. For instance, if you currently save 2 percent of your income each month, boost it to 3 percent this month, then to 4 percent the following month. If you afford to keep it up, by the end of the year, you’ll be saving 14 percent. By gradually leveling up on the amount you save, you’ll have an easier time committing to it. If your credit union offers mobile banking such as Sprig® by CO-OP you can set up an automatic transfer money into
your savings on a regular basis.
ably spending too much.
3. Turn Your Budget Upside-Down
It’s a great way to take a closer look at your spending habits that you normally don’t think twice about, such as latte trips to Starbucks or impulsively buying mobile apps you end up not using. You might be surprised at how much you spend on a given item.
Joseph Hogue of Peer Finance 101 suggests what he calls “turning your budget upsidedown,” or paying yourself first. With this saving strategy, take out how much you want to save first, then create your budget second. “If you don’t have enough after all your expenses, it forces you to cut spending instead of forgoing saving.” Try creating a budget based on the amount after subtracting the amount you would like to save each month. Start by saving a small amount and cut back in your expenses accordingly. Get creative about cutting back by coming up with clever ways to curb your spending. Once you adjust to the difference in your disposable income, ramp up the savings amount.
Saving doesn’t have to be boring or hard. Turning it into a game can help you get started and stay committed when the going gets tough. You can try out one of the five ideas or come up with your own version of a savings game. Enlist the participation of your friends and reward yourself along the way. You’ll have a robust savings in no time. Source: https://co-opcreditunions.org/five-ways-turn-saving-money-game/
4. The Sneaky Savings Game Come up with sneaky ways to save, and you’ll be tucking away money you didn’t even notice you had. For instance, you can put every dollar bill into a jar and take it to your local financial institution at the end of the month to put toward your savings. Try this out with loose change; you’ll be surprised at how much you end up saving. You can also commit to saving every time you receive a cash gift for your birthday, or from a raise or bonus at your job.
5. Tip Yourself For every five dollars you spend on X type of item, “tip yourself” a dollar, or 20 percent, and put it into your savings account. The rule is that savings trumps spending. So if you can’t afford to do both, you’ll need to put the money toward your savings. If you can’t afford to tip yourself, you’re prob25
