Bill Croke celebrates his brand-new old-fashioned lifestyle: living upstairs in an old brick building in downtown Salmon Idaho.
As the cost of housing and fuel skyrockets, Bill Croke
wonders who – besides immigrants – will be willing to
fry the hamburgers and clean the toilets of towns like Cody,
Wyo.
New Yorkers may pride themselves on rudeness, but they
don’t hold a candle to ill-mannered Wyomingites.
Bill Croke enjoys a rite of spring peculiar to small
towns: Strolling the neighborhood alleys and snooping to see what
everyone’s up to.

West, and the current conflicted views New Westerners have about
living with wildlife

region’s totemic animal
