Jack and Ennis maintained their relationship with occasional sojourns into the mountains.

Jack felt that he had to tread water on their "fishing trips" hoping that Ennis would agree to a life together.

On Brokeback, Jack and Ennis were forced to eat like vegetarians, at least til the elk showed up, but on their fishin' trips, steak was a favorite entree.

Ennis wormed his way out of telling Alma who Jack was by saying that he was a fishing buddy.

"A" is advised

According to the screenplays, Ennis advised Jack of his divorce with a postcard.  The postcard prepared for the movie is reported to have said "Divorce came through -- I'm working three shifts."

Year after year, over roads broad and narrow, Jack drove the 14 hours from Childress to Riverton to see his love.
