After a stay back in Boulder, Colorado to take care of personal matters, we traveled through Wyoming, Montana, and Washington, on our way to Portland, Oregon, where we lived for fifteen months in 2003 and 2004. We stopped first in Casper and Buffalo, Wyoming, neither of which will likely make you want to visit again. We did take a good hike on Casper Mountain, and we met some friendly Mormons having a breakfast cookout. Like so many small cities, Casper has alowed its downtown to be hollowed out, while the developments and strip malls outsied town have grown rapidly. Our hotel was five miles from town, close to a burgeoining healthcare center. As the United States gets older and less healthy, medical entrepreneurs have seen investment opportunities in such places. Motel and hotel capital always follows; recovering patients and visitors will need places to stay. . . . michael yates Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

I will now. It's a delight, and I've spent the better part of this evening reading previous entries. Too bad my wife and I didn't have it as a guide before our recent two month road trip through the States which took us to and through some of the places in New Mexico, California, Utah, Colorado etc. you describe. We loved visiting friends and family at various points along the way as well as the spectacular scenery and the hiking in Zion, Arches, and other national and state parks, but your detailed knowledge of Western labour history would had added an extra dimension to our trip. Better late than never, though; your blog has helped provide that context retrospectively, and many thanks for that.
