Dillon was named for Malachi W. Dillon, who owned a boarding house in town. The most important feature of the camp was the newspaper. The Dillon Doublejack edited and written by Grant Jones. Jones died in June 1902 in a bizarre incident involving the injection of morphine by his cabin mate while Jones was intoxicated.

Good question Jody_wy. I was reading about Battle yesterday trying to come up with a good question. Interesting character that Malachi Dillon.

Here is my question. I think that jody_wy should know this one.




I met this actor (boy in the center) last year in Cokeville at my son's football game. Can you name him, and a movie that he played in.

He turned 50 on April 16th.

well the guy on the left looks like Judd Hirsch...can't find any actors listed as having been born on April 16, 1960 though. Is he the kid from "Where the red fern grows" ? Stewart Petersen?

Talented movie actor, James Whitmore, plays one of the lead rolls in the movie version of Wilson Rawls' book "Where the Red Fern Grows." A new face in the movie, playing another lead role, is young Stewart Petersen of Cokeville, Wyo. Rawls is pictured above with the two actors. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rawls found all of the cast to be "extremely pleasant and interesting."

I remembered watching Where the Red Fern Grows in the 5th grade..and Seven Alone was on not long ago on cable...read the book but never saw the entire movie.

Okay, on to my question..

What was discovered by Ned Frost and where was this discovery made, and why is it important to Wyoming today? Bonus if you can tell the different names this discovery has had in its lifetime.

Ned Frost discovered the caves up on Cedar Mountain, just west of Cody. Also known as Shoshone Cave, Spirit Mountain Cave and origionally Frost cave. Ive been up there numerous times, but have never went into the cave. Was always told that there was too much H2S gas present. I really dont know why it is important to Wyoming today though. I guess I need to start reading. Could it be that it was origionally a national monument?
