TOTW 17/07: Why didn't Jack offer Ennis a ride when they got down the mountain?
Artiste:
Brokenback Mountain is close to the Grands Tetons?
It makes me sad to think about Grands Tetons!
In another way, it is like that scene in the movie where Jack would like to offer Ennis a ride, after they come down from their jobs top of the mountain!!
Hugs!

What does 1415 mean?

I'm not sure. The quadrangle number perhaps? It sounds too low to be the elevation!
Artiste:
Thanks Front-Ranger!
I thought that it (1415) was maybe elevation! If my penpal friend, nearby, at Grand Tetons would not have been murdered, he would likely know. He was a gay man who lived up there, he showed to visitors wild life, and loved living there. I had photos of moose eating among his horses. But it was said that he was knifed. I do miss his letters which were always cheerful! Sad, I am still today to think of such a lost of a gay man who helped others (other persons, gay or straight)!!
As I said, that is one reason why I find, in the movie, that Jack and Ennis not getting into Jack's truck a sad event too, since I feel that they wanted there and then to continue their friendship as bi or gay men!
You think that Jack offered then Ennis a ride, somehow??
Hugs!!
Front-Ranger:
Well the summit of Brokenback is 6,995' so I suppose it could be the elevation...I myself live at 7300' so it's hard to imagine anything in Wyoming being so low!! Even a valley!!
I know you still mourn your friend very much. Try not to hold it against Wyoming. It sounds like he was a lot like Jack. I wish I could have known him.
And as I ride in my own little wagon many miles each day, I wish I was riding with my friend beside me...
Artiste:
Thanks very much Front-Ranger!
You are right in that I do not hold anything against Wyoming for my Grands Tetons penpal's death! But I do not know if his murderer is in Wyoming or from somewhere else... that remains to be seen if found!!
Since he lived near you, maybe you would get a hold of his sister one day to find out more? May I suggest.
I would have to re-read his letters. I do not know if I kept all his photos; I used to do so. Would he be an Ennis or a Jack?? That I will think about him... sure!! I know that if he was Jack, that he would have offered Ennis a ride, I think am sure about that as he was a real loveable gay man!!
Please explain your thought further: And as I ride in my own little wagon many miles each day, I wish I was riding with my friend beside me...
Hugs!
