Thursday is town day at Jentel, with all of us piled into an old Chevy Suburban for the trip to Sheridan. With some time to pick up supplies and explore a little, I found that the west is very much alive here and ranching is a way of life. Sheridan is a funny mix, with espresso bars sandwiched between western wear stores and saloons.
I spent some time in King's Saddlery, an astonishing place where they make saddles of all kinds, lariat ropes, and anything you can imagine in tooled leather. Behind the shop is a large museum, packed full of old saddles, harnesses, tools, photos, and taxidermied animals. You name it, if it's western or ranch related, you will find it here. It's a fascinating place, and I will return to explore in more detail another time.
