Well, I'm pretty sure that all of us who have been up to Brokenback Summit have been through that cutoff and made the turn. The escaped convicts in the novel didn't, however. They continued ahead on the road that heads toward the Tyrell Ranger Station.

Interesting to hear that our friend Dana, (remember his dog Shadow?) has a brother who's a real-life Longmire, the sheriff of Sublette County. He was recently thanked by Colorado Senator Mark Udall for helping to rescue the body of his brother, Randy, who was hiking in that area when he died.

Wow!
I read that Udall still had his hiking poles in his hands when they found him. Talk about dying while you're doing something you love.

I think this is the area that Annie Proulx wrote about in her book Red Desert.

Sublette County? I don't know. I haven't read her book, but my AAA road map of Wyoming places the Red Desert in Sweetwater County, between Rawlins and Rock Springs. Sublette County is northwest of Sweetwater County and southwest of Riverton and Lander.
