=================================
Hadn't read your blog before, Mike. I will now. It's a delight, and I've spent the better part of this evening reading previous entries. Too bad my wife and I didn't have it as a guide before our recent two month road trip through the States which took us to and through some of the places in New Mexico, California, Utah, Colorado etc. you describe. We loved visiting friends and family at various points along the way as well as the spectacular scenery and the hiking in Zion, Arches, and other national and state parks, but your detailed knowledge of Western labour history would had added an extra dimension to our trip. Better late than never, though; your blog has helped provide that context retrospectively, and many thanks for that.
