Desert Survival Class

What we do in a nutshell: Training for outdoor pursuits and unexpected challenges.
Take on all the outdoor adventures Wyoming and Montana have to offer with confidence by breaking down the barriers to activities like backpacking, hunting, or skiing. Many would-be-enthusiasts face obstacles due to a lack of wilderness skills or fitness levels, hindering their enjoyment and keeping them in the house.
Our tailored programs are designed to empower individuals, providing the necessary survival skills and fitness training to master planned adventures and navigate unplanned situations. If you don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place, and our courses will equip you with the knowledge and preparedness to venture into the wild with confidence and make every experience a rewarding journey.

Eagle Creek and the Earl Crouch Mine
2024-07-18 12:00 - 13:00 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join us for a “Local Lore with Bob Richard” talk on Thursday, July 18 at noon, when Bob’s illustrated presentation discusses the history through today of Eagle Creek and the Earl Crouch Mine with stories and photographs.
Earl Crouch worked as a hunting guide for the Frost & Richard Camping Company. The miner had been to the Klondike and back, and later built and ran the Absaroka Lodge. Crouch found gold on Eagle Creek, and once the boundary of Yellowstone National Park was changed in 1928 was able to mine it. When Bob Richard was just eight years old, he washed dishes for the Frost & Richard Company during the summer and went along on a trip to Eagle Creek. Years later he inherited the mine and its claims from Crouch and worked it on weekends while he was a Yellowstone horse ranger. In the 1970s Bob turned the land—which he deemed to beautiful to “improve” with a road and mill—over to the Forest Service. Who better to tell us about this area and its history than Bob?!
These illustrated presentations have become so popular that we are introducing a slight modification. As an added perk of your Center membership, members can register for free and enjoy priority seating. Paid Center visitors can also register for free. While non-members and walk-ins are always welcome, they must also register and pay a nominal fee of $10, which supports our speaker programming.
