Liberty Lausterer: Hitch Your Wagon to the Stars
visit our website & read the new Sprinter 2014 issue! Our guest blogger, Liberty Lausterer, is back with another introspective look at our square state. Liberty moved to Wyoming within this past year, and offers us her perspective at life in the Cowboy State from a new resident’s eyes. HITCH YOUR WAGON TO THE STARS Here’s a scary thought.

I’m no astronomer, but I’d say that’s pretty tragic news. At a recent talk Nordgren gave at UW, he shared how light pollution…
