The previous mystery was recognized by only three people, George Graf of Palmyra, Va., Cheryl Ritzel, Hoschton, and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
Graf wrote: “This is the cowboy sculpture located at the intersection of Interstate 90 exit at 1807 S Douglas Highway in Gillette, Wyoming. Knowing it was in Gillette was easy as someone posted a similar photo with the city name. However, finding the exact location of the sculpture in the city was difficult, but finally I found it.”
Peel added: “The sculpture is called Looking Over the Remuda by Dixie Jewett (1945 – Present), an artist who grew up in rural Montana and later developed her artistic skills of crafting western-themed sculptures composed mostly from scrap metals ranging from auto parts and farm equipment to baling wire, railroad spikes, and broken tools. The sculpture was purchased in June 2007 by the Mayor’s Art Council of the City of Gillette in Wyoming as part of their ‘Avenues of Art’ project for a more visually pleasing environment and to expand the opportunities for residents.”
