Yellowstone, revisited
Thu Dec 4, 2008 12:52 PM EST
My first year of hitchhiking and exploring our beautiful states, was shared with Frank. He was really strange, we could be stuck in the desert or surrounded by cornfields and I'd have to listen to him sing (very badly) all the words to the latest Alice Cooper or Neil Young album.
