Owners won't rebuild lone gas station in Chugwater

The owners of a Chugwater gas station that was destroyed when a man crashed his vehicle into it, causing an explosion and fire, have decided not to rebuild. Mayor Ladonna Sand says that the owners of Horton's Corner believe they are too old to rebuild, but some companies have expressed interest in the property. John Barberini Jr. is accused of deliberately driving his SUV into Horton's on Dec. 30. Horton's was the only place for miles around to get gas. Residents still have to drive to Wheatland, a 48-mile round trip to the north, or Cheyenne, an 80-mile round trip south, to fill up.
