Count your blessings each and every day. Today, as every day when I wake up in the beautiful Little Goose Valley near Sheridan and Big Horn, WY, I think how lucky and blessed I am to live in such a fantastic place. I have a great family and my surroundings are some of the most beautiful anywhere. Furthermore, the people here are friendly, which is really what makes it so great to live here. Just take a look at what I got to see today.

Instead of worrying about all the negativity out there in the world, just take a look around you and you'll find beauty; it's always there- in people, places and things. You just have to believe it to see it!

The 2008 MARS Big Horn Soccer Cup

This weekend will be a great showcase for youth soccer in Sheridan, WY at the Big Horn Events Center (BHEC). It's really a great venue and a lot of fun as there will be 112 teams playing from the 10 and under age group up through the 14 year old division. This is sure to be a high energy event, filled with the enthusiasm of kids and soccer balls. Brought to you by MARS and the Sheridan County Soccer Association, the new 2008 MARS Big Horn Soccer Cup, formerly known as the SNICKERS Big Horn Mountain Cup, is sure to be just as great as the past events. Forest Mars graciously supplies plenty of treats for participants and spectators and this year there will be a Movie Under the Stars on a great big, blow-up, mega screen (rumor has it that it might be "Kicking and Screaming"). We are very lucky to have such great philanthropy and great events in Sheridan and Big Horn, Wyoming.

Soccer at Snickers Cup

One of the most exquisite offerings in the West!

Exquisite! That word porbably caome as close to describing this property as anything can. You really need to actuall walk upon this land to appreciate it, but short of paralleling Chief Crazy Horse's footsteps, this will have to suffice until you get here to see it.

This could be one of the most unique offerings anywhere in the West. When you think of prime, spectacular western properties, you'd probably imagine an end-of-the-road masterpiece where you're in your own paradise that has a sense of exclusivity yet it's inviting, relaxing and beautiful. It would be far enough away from civilization to have quiet enjoyment, yet close enough to afford you the amenities you expect. Welcome to the OH

This gem has historical significance in the Sheridan and Big Horn area. Once home to Chief Crazy Horse and then home to Oliver Henry "Noll" Wallop and his heirs, the OH has never had a building; just the Plains Indians, the Wallop family, horses, cattle and wildlife have enjoyed it. Now it awaits your lifestyle. With just over 200 total acres, the OH, nestled in the Trabing Creek drainage and bordered by conservation easements, is as good as it gets. VIEW VIDEO.

Landscapes and Lifestyles- video

Tonight, I'd like to showcase our beautiful area with a video "Landscapes and Lifestyles". In this video, you'll get a taste of what it's like to live in or near Sheridan, Wyoming. Maybe you already live here, or have visited for some reason (dude ranch vacation, business, etc.). Feel free to post your impressions and reflections of our area. The Sheridan Area has many wonderful things to see and do and we think the Sheridan Lifestyle is fairly unique, which is largely due to the culture that has been established over the past 150 years by the people who live here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video. Turn up the volume, relax and enjoy.

The OH Ranch

Named after Oliver Henry Wallop, the OH Ranch represents the very essence of Big Horn, WY. This gorgeous ranch borders the Canyon Ranch and sits along Trabing Creek at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. Oliver Henry, AKA Noll Wallop, (written bout extensively in Where the Rivers Run North, by Sam Morton) was one of the great horsemen who helped shape the area into one of the greatest equestrian areas in the country. Not only is this an area ideally suited for raising excellent horses; it's a great area for sportsmen or anyone looking for a better quality of life. Take a look at the views (all photos from the OH Ranch). Lupine at the OH
