Just after the 4th of July we went to Buffalo Wyoming for "Longmire Days."
Craig Johnson, the author of the Longmire books lives nearby and actors from the TV series make appearances over the course of several days.
Buffalo, WY is a town with a polulation of of about 5,000. Longmire days is a big deal here.
Patricia with Robert Taylor, who plays the Walt Longmire character.
There is a parade and here are people getting ready for it. The Busy Bee café in the background features in the books.
The parade is made up of old cars and local businesses--along with the actors.
Patricia sitting in the [fictional] sheriff's seat . It doesn't look like that on the TV series. The sheriff's office in the series is filmed in Las Vegas, NM.
Waiting in line for autographs. Patricia actually brought up the end of the line for the afternoon session.
With Craig Johnson.
Baily Chase. His character on the series is dead, but he is really popular as a person.
Louanne Stephens plays Ruby, the office manager in the series.
After Wyoming, we drove to Belvidere to visit my parents.
Near the end of July, we picked up Abigail in Las Vegas and brought her back to Santa Fe. On the way, we stopped at the Petrified Forest.
Taking pictures of treas turned into stones.
Abigail is so talented that she can read in any position.
I don't know what she is drinking, but she is enjoying it.
While in Santa Fe, Abbgail got a lesson in how to work with a fan (un abinico) from Estefania Ramirez.
We learned to fly a small helicopter.
