Mrs Shoemakers Hounds Hunt Report

Mrs Shoemaker's Hounds Hunt Scrubbed
By Beverley C. Heffernan
On Wednesday morning, April 11, foxhunters awoke to a genuine Rocky Mountain blizzard, with over a foot of blowing snow on the ground and virtually all roads in and around Cheyenne closed.

This forced the cancellation of Mrs. Shoemaker’s day of hunting, and prompted much concern for the two Colorado hunts as even greater amounts of snow were falling in the Denver area.

The weather did clear late Wednesday, and some intrepid travelers made their way to Colorado that evening, though others were forced to remain in Wyoming until Thursday morning.
