Roo, glad it seems like you landed on your feet after the job loss.
TK, watch out for those fires. I heard on the news they were evacuating part of Yosemite Park. Is that a different fire?
Slim: I've read pretty much everything Louis Lamore wrote, multiple times over, but it's been years ago, so I don't recall the plot of McClintock, but LL tended to write about actual places in his stories, so it probably is. It's a really big area, surrounded by a flat valley. Extreme SW corner of Colorado. Highest spot in the park is over 8,300 feet. LOTS of cliff dwellings and other ancient ruins, which often played a part in his stories.
On the way home again, stopped overnight in Dodge. Nice to be back at the lower elevations again. Finally caught my breath again.
