thinking that his mom would be following and i might hit her i slowed right down to maybe 10 as i crept by him. and just as i was beside him out from my left popped his sister and threw herself against my left front valance. with a sick feeling i looked in my mirror i looked behind me to see her pick herself up and wobble/ run stiff legged in a circle and then off to join her brother....yeah!

as i neared jackson, the last thirty miles is a lot of lush land with rivers winding along the road and lots of cover. deer country!

and so at least six more came too close to sacrificing themselves to the dodge god. but i didnt hit any more.

and i made the trip back in about four hours and was in bed reading by 1045.

what a drive though.

oh yeah i also drove by a division of halliburton in the town where the u of w is, the name is escaping me. also lots of oil well drilling out in the sagebrush. and trucks hauling pipe, and huge tanks and such.

and it appears that the car of choice in wyomming is a pickup, as they outnumber cars by about 3 to one on the road at least.

and the most humble mobile home may have a corral beside it with six beautiful horses a beautiful long horse trailer and a couple of very nice pickups to haul with. here it appears you invest in horses before your house. i suppose they work with them somehow. they arent just for rich folks like they are in indiana.

there is much more to tell but my hands are tired.

having a great time.

jackson the town is a mish mash of fake cowboy bars and stores selling phoney stuff and designer clothes stores. and breakfast at the virginian yesterday which consisted of coffee, oatmeal, a bannana and a side of ham cost me $10. the going rate. and diesel ranges from 301 to i saw a high of 385 out by the lake on the drive yesterday.
