Second Major Helium Plant Planned For Southwest Wyoming

3 days ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

Helium is good for a lot more than fun party tricks like floating balloons and chipmunking your voice. It’s also state of the art when it comes to coolant for rockets and semiconductors, and it’s considered irreplaceable for many medical devices, including magnetic resonance imaging machines. It’s vital for diagnosing things like cancer, brain or spinal cord injuries, and stroke or heart conditions.
More Tourists Discovering Small, Rural Wyoming Counties

4 days ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

You don’t have to tell Dorothy Greenwood that Crook County is special. She grew up on Odin Hill off Highway 14, and the view out her window every night was none other than the famous Devils Tower, featured so prominently in the cult classic, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” But the tower’s not the only magical place in Crook County. In fact, to Greenwood, it’s not even the most magical.

One blustery day in May 2023, Meeteetse Museum personnel made an unwelcome discovery. Their roof had started leaking, in part due to age and in part thanks to some hail damage. On top of that, leaves had clogged the gutters, freezing in place. This eventually caused even more water to get backed up into a building full of historical artifacts and exhibits.
Can You Catch ‘Food Poisoning?’ It’s Not Common, But, Yes, And Here’s How

4 days ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

If there was a checklist for determining if you’ll get food poisoning from that afternoon snack, it might go something like this:• Smells bad? • Feels slimy? • Tastes bad? Check, check and check. In fact, all three of those things were readily apparent when Emily Steele’s husband Travis decided to make himself and his wife a snack on a recent Saturday afternoon. Travis has long considered himself a “tough guy” when it comes to eating food that might be just a little bit past its prime.

CHEYENNE — With the 15th Railcar Experience taking over the existing location of the Cheyenne Gunslingers, the beloved Wild West performance that’s become a decades-long tradition during Cheyenne Frontier Days will need to find a new home.
Wyoming Prospector Says There’s Still Plenty Of Gold Near Former Boom Town

5 days ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

The Carissa Gold Mine at South Pass City was one of the Cowboy State’s most productive gold mines, drawing thousands of hopeful miners to South Pass City in 1867. The miners never found their mother lode, though, and the Carissa petered out within just a couple years. The town — which, along with the mine, is a state historic site today — remains remote and all but deserted.
Wyoming Could Capture Bigger Piece Of US Nuclear Power Than Just Mining Uranium

1 week ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

Wyoming has a shot not only at becoming one of the nation’s leading uranium suppliers, but it may yet capture some, or even all, of the manufacturing processes associated with turning uranium ore into nuclear fuel rods. That’s called a “value chain” in industry lingo, and it’s worth multiple millions, if not billions, of dollars if Wyoming is successful.
Wyoming’s Booming $2.2 Billion Outdoor Rec Tourism Stressing Some Communities

1 week ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

Pinedale, Wyoming, is poised to double in size by 2040, growth that Town Councilman Scott Kosiba believes is due in no small part to the strength of a rapidly growing outdoor recreation economy. Call it a new economic model for boom towns, one driven in part by wealthy remote workers who can locate where they like to play, instead of just where they work. It’s a trend Teton County has been leading, both in Wyoming and the nation, but it’s not just limited to Jackson Hole.
Lummis Behind Bill To Force U.S. Mint To Stop Making Pennies

1 week ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

Pennies still find use at the Diamond Horseshoe Café in Cheyenne, where some of the clientele prefer to pay their breakfast and lunch tabs in cash. The use of pennies is in spite of the fact that owner Kendra Scott has rounded her menu to the nearest nickel in hopes of avoiding them. But when her payment system calculates the sixth penny sales tax, that invariably injects at least a few pesky pennies into the transaction.
It’s Taken 2 Years, But Revival Of Vintage Greybull K-Bar Motel Nearly Finished

1 week ago | cowboystatedaily.com | Renée Jean

Amanda McGrew’s progress on a dilapidated motel in the tiny Wyoming town of Greybull went viral recently, thanks to a random post by Financial Dystopia that gained more than 1.2 million views. “This woman bought a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming,” the post says. “And somehow turned it into a vibe. The renovations are actually solid.”The post caught McGrew a little by surprise.
