 It was a cold winter night in the 1890s in Wyoming, and one man was in the middle of some miserable weather. S.M. Covey was a sheepherder in the area, out in a cold blizzard, the Wyoming winds, freezing cold winter, and he says he longed one night for a place where he could go and get a good meal to eat and a nice bed to stay in and how comfortable that would have felt. Spencer Riggs says that miserable moment was never lost in Covey, who decades later had a chance to make that lonely spot more hospitable.
