Topic: Details on Brokeback—how far apart were the camps?

[choompty]

I’ve been trying to get some more technical things sorted out about the plot and whatnot in case it comes up in writing for me (fanfic, things of that nature). I don’t remember it being specifically mentioned in the book or movie, but how long (even just personal guesstimate) would the daily journey be for Jack or Ennis from the sheep to the camp? How long would it take on foot to get from one spot to another? Any advice or suggestions helps!!

Hey,

In the movie, before they switched roles, Jack said he was "commuting 4 hours a day: come in for breakfast (1), go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down (2), come in for supper (3), go back to the sheep (4)," so I believe an hour apart by horse  .
