No doubt the Big Horn Mercantile Company has seen lots of snow since it opened in 1882. But perhaps this photo taken at 7:30 pm on Wednesday evening, some 131-years later, offers a different viewing perspective. Can you imagine arriving by horseback at the Merc some 100+ years ago, tying your horse to the hitching post in front of the window on the right and heading in to warm-up by the stove?

After six or so inches of snow over the weekend covered the ground of the Elk Pasture at Kendrick Park the resident buffalo were perhaps glad for the Monday afternoon arrival of "Meals on Wheels." The buffalo were on the far ridge when the city "Meals on Wheels" truck entered the pasture and wasted little time heading for the food that was being spread from the truck as it circled the pasture.
