And, Sheridan is gorgeous, one of my favourite spots, plus there is going to be a leather goods guy at the Culture Fest, BUT I have no idea of quality/ability/etc.

Other things you could do: drive southwest an hour out of Casper and see Independence Rock with all of the pioneers' names carved into it; on the way the old Sun Ranch has been made into a museum etc. by the LDS church and I hear is quite interesting, there is a place on teh ranch called Devil's Gate where the wagons used to go through; also Alcova Lake and Pathfinder Dam are out that way, but would take a lot of time to explore. Just across the street from the Culture Fest is old Ft. Caspar, which I mentioned early on.

Oh, and while I may commend your wishes they are my command!**bg** as well as few other typos!
