Good for you.
Sad in a way, they are gone. Yet, they are in a better place now.
Thanks for sharing.

Best of the best.
You have made the Fire extremely worthwhile, and thanks. Both deserve the respect they have earned.

Elmer had a great influence on my moving here. agree or not with his outlook he was a great man. me I happen to agree, big is best.

agree or not with his outlook he was a great man. Yes he was. I always admired his "No man is a stranger" attitude. I would love to be talking to him again instead of visiting his grave. Somewhere I have some slides of the first time I was at his house in Salmon. I need to try and find them and convert them to digital format.

Thanks for posting the pics. As close as I'll ever get to these men.

I would have cherished the opportunity to share a campfire with these men. Perhaps in the hereafter I'll have a second chance.

Two great writers indeed, but I'd go with 3. I believe Hemingway is laid to rest in Idaho.

Idared: Thanks for sharing the fine photos of those two gravesites. I get through Gibbonsville fairly often and will stop next time and pay my respects to a fine author and a fine gentleman whilst there. Dittoes when I get through Salmon next. Your post reminds me that I always wanted to find out which mountain range Bradford O'Connor spread his fathers (the DEAN of all outdoor writers Jack O'Connor!) cremated remains over - all I know is the mountain range in question held Mountain Sheep. So that could be about anywhere in the Rockies - anyone know exactly which range Jack O'Connors remains were spread in? Thanks again. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
