So if you’ve got a question, send it on over. I’m bored. I’m stopped right now, eating some dinner, and—well, if I thought

That’s not fair to Colorado—I don’t know that there’s any purpose in comparing the two. Wyoming is just...its even more untouched by... anything. It’s empty in the same way the rest of the country is empty, except it doesn’t feel so hopeless here. The emptiness sits well inside of Wyoming, like that’s how it’s supposed to be.

It’s—it’s overwhelming. Is that silly? To be overwhelmed by the beauty of nature?

I would not describe myself as a particularly sentimental person. I know that might come as a shock, considering all my reminiscing yesterday and...well, all the other days, but what else is there to do but reminisce? It feels like my entire life is in the past and all that’s ahead of me is thinking about the days that have already gone by. All I have is nostalgia

Maybe that’s why looking at the Grand Tetons feels so...(deep breath) enormous. Like I’ve just breathed fresh air for the first time in a long time. I’ve been on the road for months and...

the minimum they should picked up stakes and moved on to find whatever bits of land weren’t already occupied, I don’t really know how much of that kind of land there was back then but—

All I’m trying to understand is that I think I understand a little why the Donner Party risked it. I lived in the Midwest and the Northeast pretty much my whole life and there is beauty there—there is so much beauty —but...maybe it’s the emptiness, maybe its the bigness, maybe its just the sheer fucking novelty of it but I...I feel free.
