Reader Comments (3)

Good Mornin Tyler.... if the weather was what It looked like it might be... 75 miles with a direct head wind, yes you did earn every damn inch.... thank you for persiting... and I am relieved to know you are as of 0151 this morning in a place that is civilized enough to get you to the internet.... hope to hear more when you have a chance.... Imagine you are in Billings now... and in a comfortable space I hope.... you are a remarkable young man... keep it up... best regards and agape' john

Just looked at your fine photo's.... I've been over the pass ( the one no one told ya about.. between Livingston and Billings... so, wonder what your thoughts/feelings are regards that "last beast" Number four?? perhaps a metaphor for the unexpected "beasts/travail" you have encountered on your way... and the unexpected, that you deal with in life... is what defines a life... I am confident that what ever confronted, that you will use your gifts to best advantage... and find a kernal of Grace that will grow.... rest and recoup now... you have certainly earned it... john

Good Tuesday Morniin Tyler, Hope you are rested and recovered from the prior efforts... The "unnamed pass" that loomed before you , having been readily albeit not without great effort topped... will be way far behind you in a few days as you trek across the open spaces with your friends the antelope... Pass your day in comfort and peace in Billings.... best regards john
