In 2019 we were travelling around some of the northern states of the USA avoiding, where possible, the interstates and major highways. One leg of our trip took us through (or thru) Wyoming on our way from Devils Mountain (famed in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a supremely daft film) to Sheridan.
On the way we stopped off at a place on the map called Spotted Horse. It looked like a useful midpoint on our journey, the only habitation for miles and perhaps a couple of cafes, an antiques shop or two, somewhere to wander. However this image shows the whole shooting match bar a caravan behind camera. The garage sold everything and was run by a couple who must have been on a 'How to be an Eccentric' course.
Monica is sitting outside chatting to the owner. We had a typical American coffee - how they ever have the nerve to complain about the coffee in England - and resisted the food. As we left they presented us with a bumper sticker - I don't think many Brits passed their way.
Several splashes of red here and that's going to be the theme this month.
