Restoration at the L Slash Heart ranch 

As I've frequently mentioned, I first encountered Caroline Lockhart when I stumbled across her old ranch on the east slopes of the Pryor Mountains. It's now part of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, and at my first encounter was in a semi-abandoned state, a romantic decay that allowed me to picture Lockhart living there.

The Park Service -- mainly in the person of Chris Finley -- has been working to restore and preserve the buildings while maintaining their romantic allure. He's done a great job, and I was excited to be included in a huge feature in Sunday's Billings Gazette lauding it.

PS The Gazette paired the article with a generous review of The Cowboy Girl. Links to many other reviews are available here.
