Casper is on the short list to land the famous National Championship Air Races after a 60-year run in Reno, Nevada. Landing the event would be a $100 million shot in the arm for the city and region.

The Bureau of Land Management’s proposed plan for the 3.6 million acres in the Rock Springs area could devastate tourism in Sweetwater County, which generates millions in revenue and 1,400 local jobs, tourism booster claim.

A plan is in the works to renovate and re-open Wyoming’s famous Hell’s Half Acre, an otherworldly landscape made famous in movies like the cult classic “Starship Troopers.”

This little piece of hell was once used as hunting grounds for tribal nations to hunt bison 1,200-3,000 years ago. It also appeared in the movie Starship Troopers. Looking ahead, it might be used by hikers, photographers, tourists, families and groups.
