Little Snake River Valley

Baggs, Wyoming lies just three miles into the southern part of Wyoming; Craig (45 miles south) is the closest hospital, shopping district, car dealership, etc. The town boasts all of 379 residents, which is more than nearby Dixon (population 25) or Savery (not stated, but probably about 8).

For the last ten weeks, I have driven to Baggs to teach a memoir class with 10-15 marvelous students, all women. We have had a blast, and I'm sorry the class is ending.

Architectural photos from these small communities.

This building was once used as a theatre in Baggs. Notice the ring of sockets around the door on the left side of the structure.


Baggs bank building was once the Bank Bar where a memoir student noted that a family member had "fallen off a stool and died."
