The End (or maybe not)

Responding to popular demand, (or at least moderate demand by close friends) my blog emerges from an early grave into rebirth through a simplified name. My travel diary is now cataloged through wanderdecisively.blogspot.com (instead of the awkward dash interrupting the wandering) Please visit at your web browsing convenience.

Stop 54 - Douglas, Wyoming

(picture from http://www.jackalope.org/Douglas/DouglasHome.html)

While driving cross country on a personal retreat from the daily grind, I stumbled upon a wonder of a legendary kind. The Jackalope seen above stands larger than a small car. From myths of farmers long ago, the rabbit with antlers emerges as a small Wyoming town's claim to fame. Embalmed in legend by the town's statue, the animal further appears on bridges, legislation, and hunting licences.

Although the Jackaplope remains a gullibility trap for tourist and urbanites alike, do some legends hold seeds of truth behind the thin veil of lore?
