Sayin' "Howdy!" to Walt and Joe

This entry comes to you from Buffalo, Wyoming. Located south of Sheridan in Johnson County, Buffalo is the inspiration for the town of Durant in the "Longmire" TV series.   I didn't know this, when I decided to spend the night here. I just knew this was the general area for the fictional Absaroka County.

This area is also the home of that famous Wyoming Game & Fish Warden Joe Pickett and his family, whose exploits are imagined and chronicled by C.J. Box. I  hope to see the early morning sun shining against the eastern slopes of the Bighorn Mountains, one of Joe's favorite views.
