Mountain escapades ("Brokeback Mountain")

After Ennis leaves Alma, he continues meeting with Jack Twist.

"Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into Big Horns, Medicine Bows, Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wild Rivers, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback."

Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain is actually a fictional place in the short story "Brokeback Mountain" by Annie Proulx. It is inspired by the Bighorn Mountains which is a sister range of the Rocky Mountains existing halfway between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park. It is the location where Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar meet for the first time while working for Farm and Ranch Employment over the summer, making it extremely significant. 

San Antonio, Texas

    • A map out of San Antonio, Texas (also known as Bexar in Blood Meridian) would be intriguing as we could almost differentiate between where the average citizen/traveler would go (the city itself) and where the criminals and cowboys would go (the caves and other caverns on the outskirts of the city). On top of that, I am curious to see how much of the culture and history of San Antonio is still present compared to what the city was like during the wild west time period in America.
