Small roads took us through some little tiny
towns and one caught my
interest: Aspermont. It reminded me of aspirin, aspirgum,
asparagus, asti spumante, and a host of other sound alike words. I certainly
hadn’t heard of the town and didn’t expect to actually go through it. However,
as the road curved we drove into this mini-metropolis. Surprisingly it is the
seat of Stonewall County. This county has less than 1,400 people and is
dwindling; Aspermont had 855 people as of 2017.
