TOTW 17/07: Why didn't Jack offer Ennis a ride when they got down the mountain?

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!!

Well, that is my theory Artiste that Brokeback Mountain and Signal are fairly near to the Tetons but not in the Tetons. There are also well thought out valid theories that Brokeback and Signal are in the Big Horns.
When I use the short story as canon, I can come to no other conclusion than Signal is near to Dubois in the Wind River Range, and Brokeback Mountain is north of Dubois in the Shoshone National Forest - not far from the continental divide.
If you use the movie as canon, then you can come to a different conclusion. Its all fun and reminds me of the early days of Star Wars fandom,with those "heated" discussions we used to have at sci-fi cons over light sabers and light beer as to whether to use the films or the books as canon for Star Wars trivia.

Injest are you voting to use the film as canon in the case of Brokeback Mountain?

Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex, and thanks all !!
Brokeplex, you say: Well, that is my theory Artiste that Brokeback Mountain and Signal are fairly near to the Tetons but not in the Tetons
...
To that, may I say to you brokeplex and to all, that when I saw photos of Grand Tetons where my gay friend did live, which were taken by him, indeed Ennis and Jack, (you and I, ... all others, and especially gay men), would have enjoyed it there!! You know that those two French words (Grands Tetons) are?? So, maybe it would have been better for Annie to include too that area in her story?
That would have been more pro-gay for me!!
When both Ennis and Jack after coming down with the sheep, why was Jack's truck turned? Is that maybe a sign that Jack wanted to ask Ennis, to offer Ennis a ride??
Hugs!!
