JACKALOPE IN DOUGLAS WY

MELODY: The morning started in Casper where we went to get Mark’s bike fixed. On the way, we stumbled across a mule deer just casually walking around a suburban neighborhood.  Never saw anything like that before!  Later, while visiting Glenrock and Douglas, we were followed around by a local news guy, Phillip Harnden, an amazing photographer/reporter from the Douglas and Glenrock newspapers. He was doing a story about Mark and took some spectacular pics (see below) as well as this impromptu snap of Mark and I.  He’s a story, too.  He was once a correctional officer in the psych ward in a prison, a truck driver and an electrician. But he certainly found his calling in photography.  Check out his work, especially his baby pics. WOW!  I’ll have a  short video about Phillip soon, once I get some time to edit (and will post as link to the story and his pics when it comes out in the newspaper next week). Almost to Nebraska!
