I was appalled to hear this 'myth' is still circulating around. Even more appalling is that uninformed people may get taken by this scheme. The scheme goes like this a con artist tries to sell you 'government information' leading you to believe they have information on where you can find free land. Key word here--SELL, these people are trying to sell you their product. Remember if such a thing existed and it was through our government YOU would also be privy to such information. Another important thing to note is the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 which repealed the Homestead Act. The government no longer 'gives' land away, however it does sell some public lands. Here is what the Bureau of Land Management's website says about public lands being for sale; "Under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, BLM can sell public lands. Any lands that are offered must be sold at fair market value, that is, at a price comparable to similar private lands." Once again SELL is the keyword.

The Big Horn Mountain's Rock Creek has been getting a lot of attention lately, and rightly so, if approved Rock Creek, which has been proposed as an addition to the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area, would be the first wilderness area created in Wyoming since the 1984 Wilderness Act.


Recently U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis took a horseback trip, hosted by HF Bar Ranch, to view the proposed wilderness area. She was accompanied on her trip by members of the U.S. Forest Service, Sheridan County Commissioners and local landowners. The debate surrounding the proposed wilderness does not seem to be centered around 'if' but rather 'how'. Groups such as the Wyoming Wilderness Association would like to see Rock Creek protected and granted designation by law. Whereas those on the other side seem think Rock Creek is already protected and that the designation would do more harm by bring more traffic to the area via tourism.


According to the Wyoming Wilderness Association's website, "Rock Creek was the last area to be removed from the 1984 Wyoming Wilderness Act" they go on to say "Leases for oil and gas and the potential need for water storage were given as reasons for Rock Creek's omission from the 1984 Wyoming Wilderness Act. In the 1990's, three holes were drilled north, south and east of Rock Creek and abandoned. Today there is a low potential for oil and gas production. The predominantly limestone canyons are not geologically suitable for water storage."
