A search and rescue operation ended tragically on Thursday, as the Carbon County Sheriff's Office located the body of a hunter who went missing south of Rawlins.

Bruce Baugh left his Rawlins home at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday to hunt elk in the Bridger Pass/Miller Hill area. He was supposed to be home by 11 a.m. that morning but hadn't been seen or heard from since then.

Cowboy State Daily's Andrew Rossi reports that on Thursday evening, the Carbon County Sheriff announced that Baugh's body had been found in a remote area of the Sage Creek Basin.

"Search and rescue effort went out to locate him when he didn't come back and no one had heard from him. His body was found, apparently, about a mile and a half from his vehicle, and it seems he had gotten stuck and had attempted to hike out, according to the carbon County Sheriff's Office. So there were 20 search and rescue volunteers who gave up their Thanksgiving to try to locate this guy, and unfortunately, he had passed away before they found him."

Carbon County Sheriff Alex Bakken extended his agency's condolences to Baugh's family.

In 1929, media mogul Moses Annenberg's car broke down in the Black Hills and he had to make an unexpected stop in Spearfish, South Dakota. This detour led to the founding of his namesake, Ranch A, just south of Beulah, Wyoming.

Years of opulence were followed by shady politics, eventually resulting in the once luxurious lodge falling into disrepair. But Cowboy State Daily's Jackie Dorothy reports that Ranch A is now alive once more with celebrations.

"Ranch A is one of those unique Wyoming areas that a lot of people don't even know exist. It's outside of Beulah, about five miles right off the interstate, and what it is is a cabin, more of a lodge or a mansion, that was built by a multi millionaire in the 1930s. Through a series of events, the state of Wyoming ended up with it, and there was a stipulation on it that you could only have educational events at this place… It took them 20 years to cut through the red tape so that you can have. Your events, your reunions, your weddings at this beautiful setting in Beulah. Wyoming."

Ranch A is alive once more with celebrations, and visitors are given a chance to experience a little slice of western luxury that had once only been reserved for the rich and elite of the Black Hills.
