A city slicker finds the perfect vacation at, yes, a dude ranch
By Dana Priest
After 10 slow miles on a bumpy dirt road with no other person or dwelling in sight, it crossed my mind that maybe the owners of Bitterroot Ranch didn’t really want to be found. There were no signs anywhere, no encouragement that we were getting any closer, or had even made the correct turn off the one-lane road just past the blink-of-an-eye cowboy town of Dubois, in Wyoming’s less-traveled Wind River Valley.
Thank you Marjorie for sending this!

Lives That Touch Ours
Some knew his cousin, Pemba the second (by minutes) Nepali woman to ascend Mount Everest. She presented me with the traditional white scarf each time I came down from the mountains.
These two lives and their deaths on the high slopes are noted in Dan Linden's latest book Journeys. Although it is a novel about the martial art Aikido, a major part is accurately based on out treks and climbs in the Himalaya; including gritty day to day details that are essential to such challenges and are not available on-line. Good Job Dan!
