Cowboy Poet Waddie Mitchell gives us many interesting cowboy images of his alternative energy lodge-style home. The article I’m referring to is an informative story written by Jennifer Denison and photography by Ross Hecox, in the Western Horseman magazine, pages 112-119. Jennifer tells briefly about Waddie and Lisa Mitchells’ 5000 sq/ft log-type home and their desire to preserve the cowboy lifestyle. They are using self-supporting solar panels and wind-energy power systems with large battery storage capacity to operate their home on the high desert ranch near Elco, Nevada.
With extreme weather conditions on their 720 remote acres, the Mitchell’s home has extra insulation for protection from the radiant heat of the summer and the cold stormy blizzards of the winter months. This is a unique cowboy image that Waddie and Lisa Mitchell are giving . . . they are true Western Conservationists.
