TOTW 17/07: Why didn't Jack offer Ennis a ride when they got down the mountain?
Front-Ranger:
I believe Aguirre is a Spanish or Basque name and Aguirre was at least partially Basque, Artiste. I am going to write more about Aguirre in this topic which is devoted to that subject:

In fact, 40 people are already signed up for the upcoming Brokeback Roundup June 1-8 in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming, with side trips to the Tetons, Yellowstone, Lightning Flat, and possibly Riverton and Sheridan. We've booked a lodge at the very foot of Brokenback Mountain.
Get all the details here as well as a link to the registration form:

That is wonderful and I hope for a very high turnout in June for the Ten Sleep event!
Many of us prefer to vacation in late July or early Aug, so we are organizing a complimentary, not competing, roundup in the Dubois area at that time. Dubois is near the Tetons and Jackson, so that works out for us as well. Many of us plan to then go up to Calgary for a pilgrimage afterwards. Best of luck in Ten Sleep!

Let's just say they weren't very friendly, very welcoming nor interested in talking to me.

That truly is unfortunate. I really hate it when people are inhospitable to strangers.
The folks in Dubois sure have no problems being friendly to gay men. I am about as gay as a box of birds, and if they couldn't tell I was gay the minute I stepped out of my truck, they damned sure knew it when I explained to the folks I talked with that my purpose in Dubois was to scout for locations for a round up for a group of gays from Texas. They practically fell over themselves showing me to cabins and guest ranches in the area. One fellow who took me scouting for locations in his Land Rover looked just like Randy Quaid as Joe Aguirre! I would have lost it and laughed if he had an accent like Joe's, but he sounded like a Canadian so I held back my laughter.
