A multi-vehicle accident between Cody and Yellowstone National Park involving multiple motorcycles has resulted in serious injuries and possibly two fatalities.

At 9:38 a.m., the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) closed all lanes on U.S. Highway 14/16/20 near Wapiti due to the crash. First responders were rushing to the scene, which an eyewitness says involved multiple people who appeared to be seriously injured.

According to exchanges on the Park County Public Safety-WyoLink radio scanner, first responders had received “a report of two fatalities.”

The Wyoming Highway Patrol confirmed that multiple troopers were responding at the same time, asking drivers to “be alert, make room for emergency responders, (and) expect substantial delays.”

The highway was closed at mile marker 32.3. Anyone traveling between Cody and Yellowstone was asked to find alternate routes.

Wapiti resident Jimmy Rush was heading toward Cody for work when he observed the scene of the incident. It happened sometime between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday near the Old Faithful RV Park, just outside Wapiti.

“When I passed by, it was still a very early stage of the accident,” he said. “There were no first responders on the scene. There were at least four to five motorcycles and debris everywhere. I counted at least three bodies that I could see lying on the ground, not moving, with more down in ditches."

Rush said the victims were being attended to “by all of the gracious people of Wyoming,” who immediately pulled over and jumped out of vehicles to help.

A Silver Ford pickup truck, either an F-250 or F-350, had been “ejected out into a field,” according to Rush. From what he could see, it appeared to have "impacted something.”

“I immediately called (Park County Dispatch) and said, ‘You guys got to send everybody. There’s multiple bodies and multiple injuries, and one ambulance ain't going to get it done.’”

As Rush continued into Cody, he saw five Park County Sheriff’s deputies, multiple fire trucks, a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper, and two ambulances heading to the scene.

Rush took a photo of a WYDOT truck at the scene, which showed a damaged tailgate.

“It was the only picture I felt comfortable taking,” he said. “It was too grisly.”

No official information was available mid-morning Wednesday. Rush could only piece together a rough scenario of events based on what he observed.

“From what I can tell, the WYDOT truck was starting to do some type of work,” he said. “There were cones set up, but I don't know if he was setting those cones up for some pending work that was about to happen, or if he had set those cones up because of the accident.

Primary election campaign reports that were due Tuesday night show Sen. Eric Barlow out-earned Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder in campaign donations this primary election season, while Degenfelder gathered more money altogether, counting loans from her father and herself.

Degenfelder’s total receipts finished at $1,278,174 - $756,174 in donations and $522,000 in loans - as of her Tuesday Wyoming campaign finance primary election report.

Barlow’s contributions, which include no loans, finished at $1,155,814 in contributions. He also carried $391,710 into this race from fundraising for this campaign in 2025 - making the total about $1.54 million. His total donations tally is a "historic" amount, Barlow's campaign spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald noted in a Wednesday interview. 

Recent history bears that claim: Gov. Mark Gordon posted $541,577 in contributions in his 2022 primary election report and $155,846 in 2018. Former Gov. Matt Mead posted $100,052 in contributions in the 2014 primary election. 

A third Republican governor candidate this year, retired Marine Corps Col. Brent Bien, finished at $191,819.26 in contributions.

The fourth GOP candidate Curt Blake’s report was not available as of publication.

That makes this Republican primary contest for governor a roughly $2.6 million haul, and just over that in expense.  

Of her nearly $1.3 million war chest, Degenfelder spent just over $1.1 million. Barlow spent about $1.36 million. Bien spent $154,424.

[{"type":"text","text":"The primary election is Tuesday. "}]

Degenfelder’s is the only one of the three campaigns that reported receiving loans. Those comprised $497,000 in loans from her father, Steve Degenfelder, and a $25,000 self-loan.

Steve Degenfelder’s portion of her total intake is roughly 39%.

Both Barlow and Degenfelder report receiving political action committee (PAC) money.

[{"type":"text","text":"Degenfelder posted by far the most in PAC money, at $392,500."}]

Of that, she reported $385,500 from Wyoming-based PACs: Fight Wyoming Fight, the Wyoming Rural Electric Association, and Wyoming Conservative Women.

Fight Wyoming Fight, which lists its chair as Casper man Mark Petrie, raised $290,000 for Degenfelder. Wyoming Conservative Women, chaired by Tiffany Gamble, gave Degenfelder $95,000.

[{"type":"text","text":"The Wyoming Rural Electric Association PAC gave $500."}]

Degenfelder’s federal/out-of-state PAC money came from groups out of the traditional energy sector, HF Sinclair ($5,000) and OneOK Employee PAC ($1,000), and from a construction industry-related group, Tremco CPG PAC ($1,000).

[{"type":"text","text":"Barlow’s reports show much less from PACs, at $6,500."}]

Those comprise the Washington, D.C.-based Union Pacific Corporation Fund for Effective Government  ($1,000), the Bayer employee PAC ($500) and Rocky Mountain Power PAC ($5,000).

"I think, as he said from the beginning, this is going to have to be a campaign engaging the people of Wyoming, and he was going to have to go out and do the work," said Fitzgerald of Barlow's lower PAC and loan haul, higher donation total. "That’s reflective there. He said from the beginning he didn’t have a deep pockets to be able to loan himself money and he was going to have to go prove to the people of Wyoming he can do the good work of being governor."

Fitzgerald continued: "And the donations that he has received from PACs is also transparent; folks can see (the nature of) those PACs." 

Barlow logged $15,000 in donations from his mother, and $5,000 from his late father’s trust.

Bien’s report has the highest tally of anonymous donations, at $19,657, compared to Degenfelder’s $350 and Barlow’s $2,317.

"We put out a jar on the table and people would put cash in it," said Bien's outreach coordinator Cheryl Aguiar, referencing Bien's numerous events around the state. She said a lot of the campaign's support came from hours people never logged, and a groundswell of effort around the state. 

Bien posted the least in PAC money: $6,000 from the fundraiser group Friends of Brent Bien and $500 from the Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned Liberty’s Place 4 U, helmed by Michael Eathorne and John Gudger.

Aguiar said the campaign refused money from some PACs, and asked some not to send out negative mailers on Biens' behalf. 

"Brent was just super cautious on any negative campaigning and accepting money from PACs that were - well, we didn't know really who was behind them," said Aguiar. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Degenfelder Donors"}]

Noteworthy donors surface in all three reports. For Degenfelder, those include former Wyoming Republican Party Chair Matt Micheli; Lynne Friess, the mother of U.S. House candidate Steve Friess; current and former lawmakers Affie Ellis, Harlan Edmonds, Russ Donley, Timothy Hallinan; and current Sens. Charlie Scott and Jared Olsen.

 at the center of the CheckGate controversy, gave the Degenfelder campaign $1,000. Bextel made headlines for weeks during the legislative session after handing out campaign donation checks on behalf of a Teton County donor to at least four lawmakers on the House of Representatives floor, just after the session had closed its first day of business. 

Degenfelder's campaign spokeswoman Charlotte Jones said in a Wednesday email, "Megan’s campaign has earned support from grassroots donors, conservative Wyomingites, and energy workers from across Wyoming."

"Six state Senators, Senator Barlow’s own peers, have joined President Trump and Harriet Hageman in endorsing Megan Degenfelder for governor," Jones continued. "Megan has captured all the momentum in this race and will spend her last six days continuing to share her positive message for our future with voters.”

[{"type":"text","text":"Jones did not directly address Bextel's donation. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Barlow's donations also show multiple current and former lawmakers."}]

He inherited some money from the candidate campaign of former Rep. Ember Oakley, as well as a donation from Oakley herself.

Some of the current and former lawmakers in his donors roster include Rep. Ken Clousten, Sen. Tara Nethercott, and former legislators Joe Macguire, Jeff Wasserburger and Michael Madden. He also received donations from former House Speaker and current Cowboy State Daily columnist Tom Lubnau (columnists do not give on behalf of CSD), from former Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Bill Hill, and from the late Sen. Al Simpson’s son Colin Simpson.

Ryan Semerad, the attorney who won the famous corner-crossing public lands case, also donated to Barlow. 

Barlow received more than $1,000 from Rene Hinkle, one of the recurring plaintiffs 

Barlow campaign spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald said that donation and others reflect “what he stands for. Which is respectful leadership. And he has a record on that.”

Regarding Hinkle’s donation, Fitzgerald pointed to Barlow’s record of voting in favor of pro-life bills.

“Eric’s record on life in particular, pro-life legislation, is long,” she said. “So I don’t think that a donation reflects anything about his policy. It more reflects his leadership style. Which is a respectful leadership style.”

Barlow has voted in favor of every abortion ban Wyoming has passed in his tenure; and multiple other pro-life bills. 

Bien’s contributors include Republican Reps. Joe Webb, Gary Brown and Marlene Brady, as well as Crook County Republican Party Chair Mark Koep and Lander-based House candidate Jeff Martin, who’s challenging incumbent Rep. Lloyd Larsen.

An elk calf made a decision that could have been fatal by ignoring a wildlife-friendly panel on a ranch fence and trying to plow through the middle of another section, only to become hopelessly entangled.

Luckily for the calf, the ranch hand and his wife were out for a walk and found the calf in time to free it. 

Apparently wiser after its near-fatal mishap, the calf scrambled toward the crossing panel and leapt over it to freedom. 

The ranch hand, Logan Wilson, told Cowboy State Daily that as far as he’s concerned, freeing the calf was just part of his job. 

“We care about all of the wildlife living out here,” he said.

Wilson is a former resident of Buffalo and frequently hunted mountain lions in the Big Horn Mountains. He’s since moved to the Diamond Cross Ranch near Birney in southeast Montana. 

The ranch is in prime wildlife habitat, with ample numbers of elk and deer. 

Wilson said he and his wife were “going on a daybreak walk” when they happened upon the calf. Its back legs were entangled in fence wire, and it was squealing loudly. 

“That sucker was caught. It wasn’t going anywhere,” he said. 

While his wife took video, Wilson went about freeing the calf. 

He started by placing a jacket over its eyes to calm it. 

That’s an effective tactic. Wildlife researchers frequently blindfold animals to keep them calm during field examinations or transport by helicopter. 

Willson freed the calf in short order. Once it got its feet underneath it, the calf took off running. 

This time, in the right direction, toward the panel designed to help elk cross the fence safely. 

“It’s a panel with a ramp on the elk side (outside of the field) to assist herds in crossing," he said. 

The ranch installed the elk crossing panels to help ease some pressure on the fence and to protect elk. 

“The elk go into the fields at night and back out in the morning,” Wilson said. 

Most of the time the herd funnels toward crossing panels. But not always. 

“We had a bull caught in the fence once. A big bull, but we got him out,” Wilson said. 

It’s kind of chaos when a herd of elk get to a fence and they get all balled up,” he said. 

“They can tear up the fences and eat the hay crops,” Wilson said. “It’s a constant thing; we have to follow around and fix fences behind the elk.” 

Wilson said he doesn’t resent that at all. 

He loves seeing the elk, “and they bring in a lot of revenue” from hunters and outfitters given permission to hunt on the ranch, he said. 

Wildlife-friendly fencing has been a boon for game herds across Wyoming and the West, biologist Kevin Monteith told Cowboy State Daily. 

Fences can be built in several ways to make them safer for wildlife. That might include smooth lower wires to allow pronghorn to crawl under. Or upper wires strung at heights that allow deer to jump over, said Monteith, a biologist with the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming.

“Anything that can enhance the freedom of movement” helps herds find the best habitat and migration routes, Monteith said. 

The calf getting stuck in the middle wires of a fence sounds typical, he said. 

“Especially when they’re young like that, they try to pass through the middle of fences,” he said.

A bison carcass in Yellowstone National Park attracts the usual crowd of grizzlies, wolves, ravens, and tourists. One recently attracted a pack of bear management staff, who thoroughly dismembered it before carrying the pieces away.

Joseph “Jojo” Kaul, owner of Kaul of The Wild Yellowstone Tours, 

 in the Lamar Valley near Soda Butte Creek on Monday. The female bison, which died of natural causes, was around 220 yards from the road.

“It wasn’t really close, but with the proximity of fly fishermen and hikers, it presented a situation that was possibly chaotic,” Kaul told Cowboy State Daily. “They wanted to know how to speed up the process of this bison being consumed.”

Using three sharp kitchen knives, three men from Yellowstone’s bear management started “quartering” the carcass, according to Kaul.

“They cut off all four of her legs at the joint, and dragged them to four different areas, probably about 100 to 150 yards away from the main carcass,” he said. “Then, they opened up her belly and backside to expose more flesh and blood for the predators to smell.”

Within 30 minutes, the bison had been butchered, and the three bear management men were back at their vehicles.

Kaul described it as “the best-case scenario” under the circumstances, which he explained to the crowd of people watching it unfold.

“There were around 30 people there, and I explained that they were doing everything they could to allow us to enjoy this,” he said. “Instead of completely removing the carcass, they left it so the wildlife watchers and enthusiasts of the park could enjoy it.”

Carcass management is a critical component of managing Yellowstone's natural landscape. 

 are the go-to tools, but sometimes rangers have to get their hands dirty.

 is familiar with dismembering carcasses in Yellowstone. During his tenure as a Yellowstone ranger, he did it multiple times.

“Most people I worked with didn't like doing it, and I did, so I ended up doing a heck of a lot of it,” Henry told Cowboy State Daily. “I found the physiology and forensics interesting.”

. Every spring, he’d document every bison, elk, and other animals that died over the winter as they began to thaw out of the deep snow.

Usually, the carcasses were left for the grizzlies to devour as they emerged from hibernation. On occasion, Henry and his peers were asked to get hands-on and take carcasses apart.

One instance stands out: In December 1986, Henry single-handedly butchered a bison at Fishing Bridge Junction to an audience of television cameras and Yellowstone’s top staff.

“There was a grizzly bear, Bear 83, that refused to den that year,” he said. “She stayed around Lake Village late into the fall. She chased me when I was on my snowmobile once.”

After Grizzly 83 and her cub were captured and relocated, Henry was given a new assignment: shoot and dismember a bison and scatter the pieces across Pelican Bay.

“The powers that be sent me and another ranger out to shoot a bison,” he said. “We found and shot a bull near Indian Pond and dragged it back to Fishing Bridge.

By then, the grizzly relocation and bison butchering had become a national news story. Several news agencies traveled to Fishing Bridge to see it, as did “a lot of National Park Service big shots,” according to Henry.

“They came from Mammoth to be involved, but when it came time to cut up this bull bison, none of the so-called GS99s wanted to step forward and do the dismemberment. So, it all fell on me.”

Using nothing but his personal five-inch hunting knife, Henry cut up the entire bull. Because that part of the park was closed to traffic at the time, he did it right in the middle of the Fishing Bridge Junction while everyone watched.

After a lot of sweat and blood, Henry had butchered the bison into several smaller pieces. He boarded a helicopter to scatter them across Pelican Bay, so any active grizzlies would head that way rather than wander around Lake Village.

Yellowstone personnel try to maintain a “hands off” approach inside the park, letting things play out naturally. On the occasions when they do have to take an active role, there’s usually a good reason.

According to Herny, carcass dismemberment is employed when dead animals are close to tourist hot spots but not easily accessible for the preferred methods of disposal.

“Whenever an animal died in a developed area or on the roadside, we'd have to move it away,” he said. “Sometimes, maintenance people would come out with heavy equipment, pick up the whole carcass with a front-end loader, put it on a truck, and we'd haul it away.”

Front-end loaders and winches are easier and faster, but sometimes they aren’t viable depending on the terrain and location of the carcass. That’s when you cut it up into manageable pieces that you could load onto a pickup truck with muscle power.”

Kaul said the terrain where the female bison died wasn’t ideal for the easier, faster options to be viable. Dismembering the carcass was the only option.

“She died along Soda Butte Creek and Lamar River,” he said of an area commonly known as "The Confluence." “Dragging it out and removing it would be a very, very hard process. It was treacherous for the three gentlemen to walk out there just to get to the carcass. Trying to haul away the 1,000-pound carcass with a pulley system from a winch would be even harder.”

The bear management personnel told Kaul that by dismembering the carcass and scattering the pieces, Yellowstone’s wildlife could utilize the immense resource while speeding up its consumption. That further reduces the risk to visitors.

Usually, carcasses are transported to one of the “secret spots” where they can be safely left to be consumed far from visitors.

“They have certain spots, out of the way of the public, where they like to dump carcasses,” Henry said. “They like to continue dumping carcasses in the same spots so that bears and other scavengers get used to finding meat there.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Still In Service"}]

Henry wasn’t surprised to see Yellowstone rangers dismembering a carcass, but he was curious if they had any prior experience doing so.

“There aren’t many people (in the park) who are good at it anymore,” he said. “Most of today's rangers are more law enforcement–oriented, from urban and suburban backgrounds, than they were in my time. That's not being derogatory about anybody. It's just an observation.”

Kaul said the bear management staff he’s observed are “a well-oiled machine.” Their goal was to get in, get out, and move on as quickly as possible. ‘

“They're usually really efficient, working simultaneously, but it’s still a process,” he said. “Each of those legs weighed 100 to 150 pounds, so dragging those away wasn’t easy. For them.”

Henry enjoyed dismembering carcasses because it was akin to doing an in-field autopsy. By cutting into a dead animal, he could learn more about its life and death.

“I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I probably evaluated 1,500 or 2,000 winter kills in my career,” he said. “Cutting them up is a good way to analyze what it was exactly that killed them.”

He specifically mentioned the value of examining bone marrow, as the color of the marrow can reveal whether an animal died of malnutrition.

Kaul has seen multiple instances of on-site carcass dismemberment, which is why he took this opportunity to educate people on why it needed to happen.

“This is not ideal for the National Park Service,” he said. “If the bison was hit by a car and was close to the road, they might be more inclined to pull it. This bison died naturally in a difficult spot, and they wanted to let the wildlife consume it, so they created the best scenario. It’s better than having no access to it.”

A parent in Sweetwater County School District No. 1 has asked for the Board of Trustees to remove chair Cole Wright from his position, claiming the board violated her rights to free speech by amending its public-comment policy last fall.

At the school board meeting in Rock Springs on Monday, Cherell O’Driscoll presented the board with a signed petition calling for Wright’s removal on grounds that he has violated the district’s ethics policy, committed open-meeting violations and behaved unprofessionally.

O’Driscoll’s primary concern is that according to the amended policy she can’t publicly criticize personnel but can publicly praise them.

She said she began circulating the petition in April and collected signatures by reaching out on social media and talking to people around town.

“Like my dad always told me, we have to stand up for what we believe in,” O'Driscoll said.

Wright was not at the board meeting in person but attended virtually because he was out of town for personal reasons, he told Cowboy State Daily.

"There is nothing I can provide at this time other than the board will respond to the petition pursuant to statute," he said.

Once that happens, Wright said, he'll be happy to share the board's decisions "so that you can appropriately tell the full story."

Calls and emails to Superintendent Joseph Libby seeking comment were not returned before publication.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Background"}]

The school board implemented changes to its public comment policy at its August 2025 meeting.

While comments related to district operations, policy or programming are welcome, Wright said that “comments regarding employment or performance of individual staff members cannot be addressed publicly by the board due to privacy protections under the Wyoming Public Records Act and due process rights under the Wyoming Teacher Appointment Law.”

At that same board meeting, Wright reported that action regarding the superintendent’s contract had been taken in executive session two months earlier.

“I want to begin my message with transparency and accountability,” he said at the beginning of the August meeting. “At the June 9 board meeting, I stated I do not anticipate any action upon our return regarding the executive session. That statement turned out to be incorrect. When the board reconvened, we did take action. 

"All trustees present voted to extend Dr. Libby’s contract. I recognize the confusion this caused and I take full responsibility for that miscommunication.”

According to contract documents viewed by Cowboy State Daily, Libby was hired for the 2024-2025 school year with an approved annual salary of $178,000, for both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years.

An amendment to the contract, effective July 1, 2025, extended his employment contract through June 30, 2028 and raised Libby’s salary to $195,000, effective July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with increases each year thereafter. 

According to the amended contract, he will be paid $205,000 for the 2027-2028 school year. 

The amendment further increased Libby's car allowance to $1,500 per month from $800, as laid out in the original contract – an increase of 87.5%.

O’Driscoll learned about the amended contract when she discovered a file marked “Confidential” that she said had been uploaded to the public Board Docs website by mistake.

The document, one page labeled “Executive Session Minutes,” is dated June 9, 2025, and references “Personnel discussion was held to discuss The Superintendent’s Contract.”

After the discovery, she reached out to the Goldwater Institute, a conservative public policy think tank and litigation organization that monitors free speech and public records issues nationwide.

The Goldwater Institute has also represented fellow Sweetwater County School District No. 1 parent Kari Cochran in lawsuits brought against her by two school district administrators. Cochran 

lost her 18-year-old son to suicide in 2023

 and has been trying to retrieve his records from the district since.

Five signatures are required to present a petition to a school board. O’Driscoll’s petition contained 105 signatures.
