Peter, I did say Why-Oh-Myn (Wyoming), so I hope you, JimmyC, realise that's just my quirky way of putting it and that you really are out here.

No worries, Bet, as it turns out, homebody and tiresome traveler that I am, we wound up coming back home without getting to connect as they were not going to be able to make it to Buffalo until about 5pm. That would have put us back home later than planned, plus they had some more driving to do before this day is out. They also had a day of driving tomorrow before they make it home, so it just didn't seem right to make them hang out in Buffalo while the light was fading fast.

We had a great visit on the phone and they will be doing that trip some more, so we will get to meet sometime, plus if they ever get over in the Black Hill area, Chris has promised to call as we could as easily run up there and Sorcha, I think you probably could do that part, too, eh?

Chris has a neat place to tell us all about and I am sure, at some point, we will wind up laying eyes on each other.

Rog and I had a good time in Buffalo. We went up early, getting there about lunchtime. It is a beautiful little town in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains, full of small Victorian mansions, gorgeous old spruce and pine trees, with a little creek which runs through town. The downtown is an historic district with an old Victorian hotel museum and a footbridge across the creek. Most importantly, for me, there is a wonderful rock shop there, so.....much as I missed meeting Chris and Beth, I am still a happy camper because I got to visit the rock shop and pick up some special pieces.

Thanks, Chris and Beth, for making the effort. It was great to visit with you as you drove across Montana and to hear of the beauty you were seeing.
