your accounts of the WY trip are wonderful.  I feel as though i had been there with all of you.  I was in awe of your detailed descriptions.  I could feel the emotion behind the words and they brought tears to my eyes.  I especailly liked the side trip to Broken Back Mountain!  Wow, a real place! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings.  I have come to appreciate your style of writing and have gone back to read your blog since the beginning.  I was very touched by your personal story.  It was almost like reading a published story, very moving.  I would definately like to go on one of those little fishing trips.  You mentioned Alberta for next year.  I have already looked up their special BBM tours. I will continue to read your posts with great enthusiasm.  Thanks again.   a friend from CA   lil darlin

... Now think, here we were, miles, oceans even, from our homes. Most of us having never met before. Many of us having never even met on line. Strangers for the most part a few days ago. Fellow pilgrims now, going to the mountain to pray at the grotto, to seek a miracle, to seek a healing, to have a vision, a vision of what it could be like, always.

...

I scrawled a prayer for the life and the soul of the unknown cowboy who was spotted one night in a bar watching the young guys play pool. The core mystery of this mysterious thing "we got going on here". I wrote: "'You have no idea' what you have done". I slipped it inside the pages of Brokeback Mountain and added my name to the guest register.

...

I thought of those who had climbed mountains, Moses, Jesus, The Von Trapp family, Dr. King, and I looked out into the far valleys, as far as I could see, to try and discern the future. It is a hazy meadow it the distance, with many flowers.

...

wyomen said he had prayed on this mountain top, prayed that love would come to him. He said he felt our presence there that day was an answer to his prayer. He, a single guy in a sparsely populated land has a lonely path to walk. I pray his prayers will continue to be answered.

so does that mean he found it? I geuss this is a little off topic, though, so nevermind...

[Midnight24]

Ohhhh I understand. It's not a problem to be fond of someone even when you're married I think. 

Yeah this is kind of off topic..off I go, too.
