You know, I love my Flist, I really do, but if one more person talks about how Alberta doesn't look like Wyoming, I'm going to have some sort of large fit. *sigh* Wyoming does not look like Wyoming circa 1963 anymore.

the scene in Brokeback that most closely echoes that actually felt more like my memories of Wyoming than the rest of it.Ah, that's interesting. That'd be what they filmed either down near Lethbridge or closer to Drumheller, both of which are part of the drier strip you hit as you move east towards Saskatchewan. I believe Drumheller and surrounding areas (colloquially known as Dinosaur Country, ( ... )
