Take a break

[BIGNASTY]

This was sent to me from a packer and his wife that went on our trip a while back. TAKE A BREAK AND LOOK. Its done all over MT. Just a slower pace from most and after what happened to fellow TDR member JJ 's daughter its refreshing to not have to worry about the world a few miles away. Thought some mite like it I did.

Looks like it could be here too - the landscape is a little different but the people are the same. Some even look a little familiar!



The best part is, this looks like just the "medicine" that JJ and his family need. Good to see that he's planning on getting outa that ratrace.

I have been troubled about JJ's family experience and cant really fathom the problem occurring. The kids out here have respect for the elders and open doors for ladies that they dont even know at stores. Help people out to the car with things. Kids will be kids but they dont just do hateful things to hurt someone. Im dumbfounded by this and it truly bothers the wife and I. We thought we left the morons in Ca Its fun to talk with other people to gain ideas and not have to worry about the politics of the talk.

Wes,

If you dont mind me asking, where in Sublette County are you from? Reason Im asking, I have family in Wyoming. My mother and sister live in Laramie and have a cabin up above Centennial (not sure if thats spelled quite right). I have an aunt and an uncle in Cheyenne and another aunt and uncle in Douglas. My grandparents (on my stepfathers side) had a ranch in Boulder, Wy just outside of Pinedale up until a few years ago. Due to age and health issues, they were forced to sell the ranch and moved to Wheatland. I have many fond memories growing up and spending the summers out on their ranch. Not another house around for miles, and if 2 cars drove down the dirt road they lived on in one day, that was considered alot of traffic. It truly is gods country out there, I often times wish I could make the move back out to that part of the counry.

Don't mind at all. I live in Pinedale. My Uncle had two ranches in the county, one just outside Pinedale and the other was down at Boulder about 4 miles out the Boulder Highway (WY 353). That was the first place I chased cows, put up hay, branded, etc. I grew up as a Marine dependant, I also have fond memories spending summers at the ranch. What place did they have? If you don't want to plaster their name on a public forum give me a PM.

I am a transplant from UT into the great state of WY (many years ago) and I ALWAYS hold the door open to ALL women!! Some guys too if they can get there fast enough!!! :-laf



I guess it all comes down to HOW you were raised and what VALUES you live by every day!



I admit that I am young (34), but I was raised on the arse whooping side of my generation and my worst fear was disappointing my parents by doing something stupid!!



I have been bad in the past and have been handed over to my dad by a deputy for 'criminal mischief' AKA "knock and run"... Also once for strategically placing several rolls of TP stolen from the school over a bitter enemy's house :-laf Much worse punishment at home!!



Proud to say that I have never been in hand cuffs, nor seen the inside of a jail cell, AND I intend to keep it that way!!

Same here Mikey I still open the car door for the wife and any other woman that gets in my car. I hold the door for any woman going into a store. If a guy is close ill hold it until he grabs the door. Don't get me wrong if the wife get to the door before me and opens it well she lost out by doing so. Common courtesy is a thing of the past in CA. I held the door for an old lady one time she said NOW THAT'S A GENTELMAN!!!!! I told her that even thou my Mom has passed I could still feel the slap in the back of my head if I didn't hold the door. She said your Mother was a real lady and raised her son to be a decent human being.



The young people out here are just a whole different thing than what we were use to in CA. Thank you/ your welcome/Please are words long forgotten in our part of CA. The young folks call me MR. BIG I have told them its Gail/BIG but Mr !!!! folks like the youtube give hope to the rest or at least me that a way of life that I would have loved to have as a kid is not gone. We know some of the people in the Vid and they sent us that because of my interest in their lifestyle. The biggest complement that has been made to me sense moving to MT was when they came over to look at one of my mules foot was when I opened the barn door is WOW THIS REMINDS ME OF MY GARANDFATHERS BARN!!!!! But BIG even WE have gas powered machines!!!!:-laf
