Visited the Virginia Dale site multiple times while living on the Front Range, and took some photos that were in the Overland Journal, several years ago (I can't remember which Volume & Number). Gorgeous location and fascinating story.
There is an Overland Journal story on the Virginia Dale Station that I wrote a couple years ago which may be the article you are talking about. It gives a great detailed history of the station along with historic pictures. Glad it was of use to you! -Ethan Gannett
From Ken Jessen: Horse Creek is 24 miles northwest of Laramie as the crow flies at 41 deg 24 min 54 sec N and 105 deg, 11 min W at the intersection of CR 211 and CR 228 near the railroad tracks. It can be seen on Google Earth just by typing in "Horse Creek WY." I do not know exactly where Slade's headquarters were located.
Usually there is a June Open House and a December Quilt Raffle event where the public can attend. Google Virginia Dale Station or the Virginia Dale Community Club to find their website which should have details about the upcoming open houses.
Good presentation. Thank you. Liquor has been the ruin and shorting of countless lives.
Great story and a beautiful location.

Great report! Can you tell me where Horse Creek is located? I'm in Fort Collins and might check it out. Thanks, -Tom.

I have driven past the location several times and would like to visit some time. What dates is it open?
