Come meet C.J. Box at the Carbon County Museum as he will be signing copies of THREE INCH TEETH on MARCH 4TH, 2024
Publishers Weekly describes THREE-INCH TEETH (02/27): “Box’s pulse-pounding latest adventure for Wyoming game warden Pickett showcases the series’ strengths: high-octane action, intricate plotting, and well-drawn characters… It’s another high point in a series full of them.”

It’s #NationalWildflowerWeek! Did you know that wildflowers are important in burned areas? Melissa Higley took this photo of Fireweed. It’s a sun-loving plant that quickly can colonize areas burned by fires.

Mountain goats rest on snow patches to cool down on hot days. Climate change raises temperatures and shrinks snow patches. Researchers worry that these changes could lead to greater stress on the park’s cold-adapted goats. Learn more: nps.gov/glac/learn/nature/cl…

See, we believe history matters. The "Office To Combat Disinformation" reminds us of Woodrow Wilson and another attempt at suppression. Oh, there was also the 1798 version... @FDRLST #History #censorship #HistoryMonday history.com/news/sedition-es…
One of many reasons to head west this summer! We love NE, MT, ID, and of course, our beautiful WY. #thatswy #visitwyoming #vacation #getyourweston
It's #InternationalDarkSkyWeek! According to the International Dark-Sky Association light pollution is increasing at a global average of 2.2% per year, threatening wildlife and ecosystems, impacting human health, wasting money and energy, and blocking our view of the night sky.
