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.

This is Dubois, WY

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)

Wow! Thanks, Kelly. You honor me more than I feel that I deserve, but, since I'm the Irreverend Fred, the goonpastor, I'll dare to say a little in response. You haven't yet recognized your danger in getting me started!

The number 111 is very significant. It's the age of Bilbo Baggins, eleventy-one, on the occasion of his birthday party and disappearance from the Shire. It signifies the number three, and since it is three in one, the Holy Trinity. Whether you think of the Holy Trinity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit or the Triple Goddess, Virgin, Mother, Crone, it means the same thing. The number three is very important to all intelligent beings, whether ourselves or the central Intelligence of all the worlds.

A book of the Wisdom of the Smartasses could be lots of fun. (heheheh)
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

Holy shit! Dobois is close to Jackson! Hopefully there's no Eagleton around!  ;) (I know he's in a mental hospital)
