SHERIDAN — In the 1890s, the Bighorns were a vast, rugged territory with few roads beyond wagon pathways. While horses and oxen could make the trek, dense snows during winter made higher peaks simply impassable. Its remoteness deterred settlers and kept towns in lower valleys. But then someone struck gold.

PARKMAN — Jim Zier often treks the pathways of his rural Parkman property, nestled in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Like many trail runners, he appreciates the mental toughness and endurance needed to compete long distances on difficult terrain. Though for Zier, he has companions to cheer him on — in the form of several four-legged friends who happily run alongside him through steep slopes and wildflower fields.

SHERIDAN — It’s hard to go many places in Sheridan without seeing the fingerprints of Kim Love, said Sheridan Media General Manager Bob Grammens. From the handpicked sculptures lining Main Street, to the smells and sounds of Frackelton’s Fine Food and Spirits and the Sheridan Media station humming from car radios, Love’s influence in Sheridan is the kind that surpasses a lifetime. “Everything Kim has touched has turned to gold,” Grammens said.

SHERIDAN — When Dorothy Hackman was a young girl growing up in rural Missouri, pigs were one of her biggest fears. Her father raised Hampshire hogs, and she walked past them nearly every day on her way to a one-room country school. At 6, she learned to stand near the edge of the fence, following it so closely that she often returned home with a rip in her dress. kAm“x E9:?< x E@C6 6G6CJ 82C>6?E E92E x H@C6[” w24<>2?

SHERIDAN — Farming has been the Shaw family’s way of life for the past 15 years. Theresa and Chris Shaw and their four kids live in a yurt on their property east of Sheridan while caring for their numerous crops and animals — including pigs, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, bees, alpacas and an orchard with apples, plums, pears, currants, grapes and cherries. In many ways, their farm, called Shiloh Valley Family Farm, is a labor of love.
