Guess the spot

[Outdoor_Fool]

You can't lose if you own the Yellowstone Inn. Go south of YNP.

 

[Rockskipper]

I was thinking it reminded me a little of up above Tom Miner, but I'm drawing a blank. It really looks familiar, but my eyes are crossed from playing too much Monopoly with my niece. She has the Yellowstone Edition. I now own Old Faithful Inn, but I'm still losing.

Did I mention she's only 7? And I'm cheating! She doesn't know it's not normal to have around 3k cash in hand, but she's still winning. I'm currently in Jail. As soon as I get out, I'll head south.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

You're in jail again? What a scofflaw.

 

[Rockskipper]

I'm also the banker. Fitting, eh?

 

[Rockskipper]

Is this close to where Fenn's Fortune was found?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

To my knowledge, no. I heard that it was found southwest of Lander but not quite in the Red Desert. No idea the veracity of that.

 

[Rockskipper]

I didn't know anyone knew where it was found except the finder.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Probably rumor-mill grist.

 

[Rockskipper]

In/around the Tetons? Two Ocean Lake Trail?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Further south and east. But not too far.

 

[Rockskipper]

Is this that darn Leigh Lake thing again?

Wait, that's south and west.

Emma Matilda?

Wait - are you over by the big landslide?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Nope.

 

[Rockskipper]

Are you over in the Gros Ventre?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Oui.

 

[Rockskipper]

Well, I came south to the W. Gros Ventre Butte, but it's too dark to tell if that's the spot. I also lost the Monopoly game.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Bad night overall, I guess. You're getting there (slowly).

 

[Rockskipper]

Slowly, as in slowly walking in the dark. What's that sound? Oh, just my Monopoly money blowing away in the wind. Or so I think... Lots of time to ponder life walking out here in the dark...or death...or things like how can a 7 year old always beat me at Monopoly? The stars sure are bright, though. Haven't been out in this country for awhile.

 

[Rockskipper]

<whistles in the dark>

Somewhere around Chain Lakes?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Chain Lakes in the Winds?? If so, you've gone too far.

I never won a game of Monopoly in my life.

 

[Rockskipper]

I thought things were getting a little bouldery.

Well, it's time for the big guns, except the big guns is running the show here, so won't be of any help.

I'm gonna have a sandwich.
