It was a few years ago. None of the adult men complained about it, but an underage boy was in the group. After some time, he talked about it and abuse charges were brought against the priest. By that time, the priest had moved on and was living in Ohio I think.

Here's a lind with a story about it:

Wyoming huh? Bring lots and lots of kites because if you're anywhere southeast of Jackson (which is pretty much the rest of the state, outside of Yellowstone) the wind blows pretty much every day. And I don't mean a breeze - I mean it blows. And I don't just mean often, I mean pretty much every day of the year. I would agree with a previous poster (the Beav from Corn Valley) who mentioned that you might want to consider eastern Oregon.

No truer statement has been made. I bought my iceboat (which is a converted landsailer) from a man who used to manage an airport in Wyoming, who actually had two of them for sailing on the airport runways. This says a lot about Wyoming. If your mind turns to landsailing, it must be really windy. And if your main thought as an airport manager is, 'What can I use this large expanse of concrete for?" there's not a lot of traffic at the airport.

Sure. :rolleyes:

Why don't you play fair and tell the truth. That priest was a sick human being who does not represent Catholic priests. The Catholic church has had a special "police unit" that does nothing but ferret out bad priests.

Comparing the actions of a lone wolf priest to the depravity of San Fransisco is pretty lame. After all, the AIDS epidemic was started in the infamous bathhouses of San Fransicko.

Get real Kerry.

I worked as a surveyor out of Cody and down to Thermopolis during 1976-1977. One of the finest places I've ever lived. I'd go back if I didn't have such a sweet life right here.

Where did I write that this particular priest represented all Catholic priests? You're projecting your own suppositions onto my writings.

I agree there's a big difference between the behaviors. One set of acts were done for pleasure, the other for purity. Which is more depraved is a topic for an interesting debate.

As I recall, AIDS patient #1 in North America was from Montreal.

I didn't say that you intended to represent this particular priest as representing all Catholic priests. YOU are doing the projecting of suppositions. With all of the Catholic bashing that is going on today I wouldn't want a unbiased person to read your comment and get the wrong idea about Catholic proests. It was a isolated incident in Wy.

The leading reason AIDS first spread in the USA was the unprotected gay sex in San Fransisco bathhouses(sp). It's a fact. Unless, open minded PBS was wrong.

You don't seriously expect anyone to pass up a story like that do you? Not even Monty Python on speed could come up with such a juicy tidbit.

Had an acquaintence in Denver who sold out and bought a ranch on the river that runs around the south side of the Black Hills. I haven't been there yet but just south of there runs the Niobrara River which is one of my favorite places on earth. (Nebraska no less).

The section east of Valentine is really nice. I prefer the section just east of Gordon where the river is smaller and less travelled. However it is completely surrounded by private property and there are lots of wire fences across the river. I think there is one outfitter near Gordon now, so that section is beginning to get some more traffic.
There's a surprising historical marker on the Gordon section commemorating the spot where the US Cavalry burned a wagon train which had entered Indian territory. The only instance I know off where US troops protected Indian property rights.

The best 9 hole golf course in the world, hands-down, bar none, without a doubt top of the list, that you've never heard of is in Hot Springs, SD.

The black hills would be a great choice. Slightly more progressive than Wyo. you just don't want to be there come August (is the rally really as bad as they say in regards to impact across the Black Hills?).
