Good luck, Ann.

Don't forget that there is no time limit, and we have books listed to help with each state. All genre's too. :)

I've read the first 4 or 5 of this series. Always a good read.

Ann at the Beach | 128 comments I go years(maybe my whole life) without reading a book set in Wyoming and this month I read 2!

I am taking a trip to Yellowstone next month so I read Windows into the Earth: The Geologic Story of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Then I picked up a book in the Joe Pickett seriesThree-Inch Teeth.
