Shakesthegrounds Rumblings

OMG Wayne, if we went back up to Broken Back, I would so stay, at ,   the lodge,  you know,

(Where we rode the horses, and maybe, you think......... )

Oh, you mean where Jack and Ennis rode each other!   

I didn't check out the lodge itself in Wyoming there but did see some really cool cabins nearby. Very rustic, but they had that wonderful smell of old wood

I did the best thing this past week. I restored my clothesline.

I had been reminded recently abou the wonder of line dried sheets. I desired it.

I restrung them giant crosses of nobody;s savior for the first time this century and I washed and hing my sheets out to dry in the morning before I went to work and I come home one day and took them off the line and put them on the bed. And I laid down and slept about an hour. It was so nice.

And th towels, the excisite dryness of line dried terry clother, you have to bend thenwhen you take the off the line.

Oh Milli, I must meet you!

How far apart are these places we'll be visiting? Are we going to need to move around to different hotels or are they close together?

It's like herdin cats!  

Wayne, you're right - the rodeo is Saturday the 28th.

The only 'official' gathering I'm seeing planned at the moment is on the 29th, a full moon gathering near a place called Canmore.

There's a suggestion around that people take some initiative and 'plan' an activity, sort of the way Lauren/tamarack took the lead with planning the horseback riding and the JA hike.

After doing some more research, maybe our group can take the lead on planning/hosting something?  That'd be nice, I think.

What day is y'all's horseback ride on?  Lauren told me mine is on the 26th...

I like the idee o; hosting something. It would have to be something fun, like an art happening.

I have no real clue, Wayne, which is why getting that book and some maps Monday is critical.  I kinda have the idea of flying into Edmonton, hotel night one, camping someplace strategic subsequent nights to minimize driving in circles, and staying in a hotel the last night.  I don't *HAVE* to camp the whole time, but in truth, it's more my style of vacationing, plus I like the idea, that somehow I'll feel closer to Jack and Ennis.

Please elaborate, my erudite friend.  Are you talking about a gallery with whine and cheese and canapes? or fingerpainting naked before skinny dipping to wash off the paint?

Thanks, Wayne - that looks like a terrific resource!

Milli tells me she's about 2.5 hours north of Calgary in Edmonton.
