Big Horn County travel story now on National Park Trips website

“You must remember that some things that are legally right are not morally right.” — Abraham Lincoln.
The Lovell and Basin Area chambers along with the town of Greybull did an advertisement with a magazine to promote Big Horn County. In addition to the ad, they did an interview which will be in the magazine but is also available online. Big Horn County’s article on National Park Trips may be seen at:  www.yellowstonepark.com/.../bighorn-scenic-byway
Thank you to everyone who came to the last chamber meeting. It is always great to learn about what is happening and how we can work together. Wonderful lunch of chicken enchiladas from the deli at Basin’s Market.
Forty-eight people floated the Big Horn River Blueway Trail on Saturday. The weather cleared just in time. Thank you to all the agencies that came together to make it happen including Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, BLM, U.S. National Park Service, Wyoming Game and Fish and this chamber.
