"Does it hurt for him to roam Casper as a stranger, with his dad gone a year? This trip is showing me how life can spool off into directions impossible to predict."

Hopefully, in living life to the fullest, a person keeps himself from longing for a past that no longer exists. This line of reasoning has pushed me to do things I might not have done otherwise and always keeps life interesting. Although this might become harder to do as time goes on.

Have you ever read any Edward Abbey? I think you might like him. If you haven't, you should try "Desert Solitaire."

Thanks for sharing your entries... must be amazing to go on a trip like that. I haven't been to any of those national parks, those great natural wonders, since I was a kid.

excellent!
