Riverton? How did Jack know?

(1/13) > >>

Toadily:
Ok,, I have seen it a lot now so I might notice stuff that is more than the average, but how did
Jack know that Ennis lived in Riverton when he moved there at least a year after Brokeback?
And thus mail him the card general delivery there?
Remember when Alma asks Ennis if they can move years earlier cause there's a place in Riverton?  I suppose the
little ranch lived on could have technically been in Riverton but the implication in what Alma said is that
it was a different town..

If you find someone badly enough... You find away.

bnjmn3:
I think Ennis and Alma married and lived in Riverton. Alma just wanted to move "to town", right?

jimnick:
But still, Jack must have been looking, right?  I mean four years!  If he had thought that he knew where Ennis was before that he would surely have tracked him down earlier.  He goes back to Brokeback Mountain the nest summer and asks Arly if he has heard from Ennis, so he's hunting for his man.  Would almost have to be desperate for any information to go that far.  Maybe, ...suppose that Ennis had let Alma's maiden name of Beers be known to Jack.  Then, he would have had more to go on.  Still, I wouldn't have left without full information, verified!  Heck. I would never have let him out of my sight the first, second, or third place.

I love these guys!  Wish I could hug them both.  Wish I could counsel them, we all could counsel them!!!

Jim

Sorry... that should have read... "If you WANT TO find someone badly enough... You find a way."
