OK I've given everyboy else in Wyoming a chance to speak up, we must have our brag. If you jump on the continental divide at Yellowstone Park and follow it South for about 90 miles and drop off The Wind River Range into the Little PopoAgie drainage you'll come to our house and the coffee'll be on. Of course, you could take the highway to Lander, Wy. then call and I'll come in and lead you out to our place.
