- Uranium Country

As a child, I spent countless hours near Jeffrey City, a place immersed in the uranium craze during the intense Cold War era. The quest for uranium, fueled by government incentives, transformed this area into a hotbed of prospecting and dreams of fortune.

Geiger counters became commonplace, and everyone sought to capitalize on the uranium boom. For many, it was an obsession; for my dad, it was a weekend diversion.
