Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

Ah, Fred, that was just lovely. Thanks! Did you notice that it was your 111th post? I'm sure that has some meaning in numerology...
I like what you said about Mother Nature, and them reaching the summit at the right time... reminds me of this, from a poem called Desiderata...
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
We should also sum up all of your wise sayings... your sayings, and Ellery's wise-cracks, would provide one a lifetime of material for thought, I would think.
;)
(Is it your experience in sermonizing that enables you to do these summaries so well? Or just natural brilliance? lol)
louisev:
well guys, one thing to remember is that I have sort of "set aside" this volume as a departure from Laramie and the relatively predictable day-to-day of Ellery and Ennis's life and work there. And that means a different "pace" for this story.
Believe it or not, it is already over 10,000 words, and we haven't gotten to the trailhead yet.
opinionista:
This is where Ennis and Ellery will stop tonight:
Lander, WY
louisev:
Yes indeed, the last bastion o' civilization before they head on up to Brokeback.
now hold on... mapquest tells me Lander is south of Riverton. I thought Riverton was a lot further south than it is.
Change of venue, folks: Dubois. Please check the edited chapter! Whew, good thing I was bored and doing map checking today.
Dubois is where Ennis and Jack stopped to eat on their way back from Brokeback on their way to Signal.
opinionista:
Downtown Laramie. I guess Ellery's office and the Red Stallion is around here.
