Dax and Kylee Tomlinson (and family) from the Silver Spur Guest Ranch in Medicine Lodge spoke of their history that began in Jackson Hole and later moved to Medicine Lodge. They showed some video from their early days ranching cattle and later on focusing mostly on horses. There’s a story told about how they came to be known as the “Silver Spur”. One day, years ago, a man came by looking for a hunting guide. He offered to pay $5,000 which, in those days, was a sizable amount of money. The would be hunter was told they didn’t have the necessary permits to be hunting guides which meant they could not legally take him on a hunt as a guide. So a bargain was struck, we will make you some very fine silver spurs and sell them to you for $5,000. Then we can just go out hunting as friends. As it turns out, it was a government sting operation attempting to lure them into illegally guiding a hunting party. When it came before the judge in court, the case was dismissed. And that’s how they took on the name of Silver Spur. At the end, Lynn presented the Tomlinsons with a certificate of appreciation, a copy of the Pioneer Magazine, and an SUP Medallion for Idaho. Lunch was ordered, we socialized, and ate our meal when served.
