Oh, heck! I forgot to check this last night! >:(

--- Quote from: Jeff Wrangler on May 21, 2014, 09:10:33 am ---I've started rereading A Serpent's Tooth, and last night while I was reading I pulled out my old souvenir map from the Roundup. The map showed me further evidence to support my hypothesis that the "Powder Junction" of the Longmire novels is Kaycee, and also that "Surrey" and "Short Drop," places that figure in the plot of A Serpent's Tooth, are, respectively, Sussex and Linch. In the novel Walt says that he took the exit (from the interstate) for Powder Junction, and then took "192" south and east to Surrey and Short Drop. Well, the map shows you that Rt. 192 is the highway that runs south and east from Kaycee through Surrey and Linch.

OK, I've checked the map. Sussex and Linch are the real places in Wyoming. Surrey and Short Drop are the fictional places in A Serpent's Tooth.

Well, I'm glad we got that straightened out!

A group that is not facebook or the like is Goodreads. It's owned by Amazon and there's a Longmire reading group:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/116180-the-walt-longmire-series-books-tv-show-group
The bad news is it only has 7 members currently.
But I would imagine that if you get active in some similar groups, you could find some sympatico people to carpool with from Denver or wherever to Ucross.
