Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

Signal, WY



Signal, WY does not exist.

From the Wyoming information page GoWyld.net:
"Other locations mentioned in the movie do exist, such as Riverton, Casper, and Lightning Flat. Lightning Flat is a discontinued post office in Crook County. On the other hand, the town of Signal, does not exist. "

Possible replacement:
Shell, WY

It ends also with an "L". Then Laramie would still fit. But I don't own a National Geographic Road Atlas of the US, and Shell is a very tiny place. So Meryl should check my suggestion.

BTW: Shell, WY can be found in the German Wikipedia, but not in the English one. Strange, isn't it?

Shell is in my atlas, so let's keep playing! :) (Not only that, it's just up the road from the town that wyomen and shakestheground think is the model for Signal, so... good choice!)

Emblem, Wyoming

Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.

Amarillo, Texas

"Quarries in the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument have been used for more than 12,000 years.  In Amarillo are the Western Stockyard auctions on Mondays and Tuesdays and the Discovery Center (Harrington Planetarium)." 
-- Rand McNally Road Atlas & Travel Guide

Great idea, Meryl!
