I rode a motorcycle across the US a couple summers back, and I gotta say, Wyoming was the best state in my trip. Did you stop by Jackson Hole by any chance? It was amazing. Not to mention the ride through the Tetons was absolutely gorgeous.

I got to stay on a beautiful ranch with rolling hills and horses and cattle. At night I could hear coyotes howling. It was by far the best part of my trip. The people I met were lovely. Although I think Jackson Hole is probably not representative of the entire state. Far from it. Seemed like a lot of wealthier city folk who'd moved to Wyoming for a change of pace.

I did not like Wall Drug at all. Partly because of the hype. Road signs for Wall Drug started springing up over a thousand miles away from South Dakota. They definitely did their job, because after seeing so many of those signs I had no choice but to stop.

It was just a giant tourist trap full of overpriced trinkets.

I think I covered about 35 states on my trip, and Wyoming is #1 on my list of states I'd like to return to. I'm dying to ride a snow mobile through all the trails they had out there.

I am kind of a mean person. I don't really like people all that much. I don't empathize with them. Lately my philosophy has been live and let die.

Things like this really tug at my heart strings and remind me that I do still have positive emotion buried down there somewhere. I wish you and your sister the absolute best.

What sort of wages do the container/tnaker fleet mariners earn?

Any websites with more info for folks who'd love to get into a career like this?
