The first time Jack made his long drive from Childress to Riverton, he was driving a red pickup truck with pneumatic tires.

Over 20 years, Jack made the long trip from Childress, Texas, to Riverton, Wyoming, many times, raking up thousands of miles on the interstate.

Something sags a little in Alma Jr. when she hears her father say that he's supposed to be on a roundup over near the Tetons on her wedding day.

Jack's drive from Childress to Riverton, in the red pickup truck with pneumatic tires, is time-consuming.

After mentioning the roundup near the Tetons, Ennis changes his mind and uncorks Cassie's stale wine to celebrate Alma and Kurt impending wedding.

"W" is wifeless

Sitting around the campfire with Jack up on Brokeback Mountain, Ennis lets it be known that he won't be wifeless for much longer: 

"Me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain."

While in Juarez, Mexico, Jack looked for activities that aren't in guide books.

There is no evidence that Jack bartered with the man that he met and walked away with in the alley in Juarez.

While drinking beer at a bar in Signal, Jack told Ennis that 42 of Aguirre's sheep had been casualties of lightning strikes the previous summer.
