Go from Ryegate, to Wisdom, to Pinedale, and then to Denver. Civilization is not gone, but it damn sure isn’t to be found in the big cities. The divergence from the first three to the last is an assault on the senses. Soon as my job is not location dependent(next year), I will be in a more civilized location. And Denver likely will never see me again, nor any place east of Wyoming. What is left of civilization is in the flyover country. The rest needs to be burnt to ash to exterminate the vermin that have infested a once civilized society.
