That´s awful nice of you, Lee, but I´ll buy it from eBay and save you the trouble.
Oh, a whole thread! very cool. I´ll check it out.

I´m currently reding this one and finding it quite useful as well as entertaining. Next time I visit Wyoming, I will for sure look at the landscape around me in a different light.

At a recent party at my local bookstore, a person recommended the novels of Craig Johnson when I said I liked C. J. Box. I'm reading his The Dark Horse now. I found his style clipped and annoying at first but now I'm really starting to like it. The novel is about a Wyoming misfit, Walt Longmire. Stay tuned.
Front-Ranger:
I can't say that I would recommend Craig Johnson's books. In fact, I'm just about ready to jettison The Dark Horse in the middle of it for several reasons.
Are you familiar with the Roundup Magazine published by the Western Writers of America? It isn't published very often but is full of writing samples, photos, and articles about the profession.

Too bad The Dark Horse didn´t live up to your expectations, Lee!
No, I´ve never heard of it. I´ll definately check it out. Thanks, Lee!
I´ve been looking up Wyoming bloggers as of late, but it´s been hard to find much of interest. One blogger I do follow is a woman writing about her´s and her husband´s move from California to Wyoming and their new life there. They bought a piece of land near Cody and then built their own house.

This might be a longshot, but does anyone know anything about the northern alignment of the Lincoln Highway, that is pictured on the attached postcard (and that bypasses Sage)? I´ve never seen it on other maps of the Lincoln Highway, but just the southern one. It´s a mystery to me.
