Teensy-weensy Fort Bridger
Read more Riley’s Ramblings ➡️ Fort Bridger, May 1877 I tore a page out of my journal today and wrote a letter to Andi. I hope she gets it.

The Best of Both
I’m blown away by all of the feedback for the cover of my most recent revising/playing/printing of the original Trouble at the Line Shack. Thanks! It was so helpful!

Hello, Fort Bridger!
Read more Riley’s Ramblings ➡️ Fort Bridger, Wyoming, March 1, 1877 I couldn’t leave Fort Alcatraz fast enough. I tried to keep it quiet from Tom Malloy’s gang of troublemakers, but of course nobody can keep it quiet for long when a change of command leaks out.
