What) As of today, August 8, 2015, this is the last Buckys entry that I see myself posting on the internet in the foreseeable future.
Where) Somewhere
in the middle of Wyoming. I just used the name Muddy Gap
because it was close to where these pictures were taken and
because I liked the sound of it.
Why) Back in 2010, when Pam and I started taking Buckys trips, I had no thoughts of creating a website that would end up with 3400 pictures, 538 Buckys entries and 150 interesting bridge hands. I just found myself collecting things on our trips and one day I looked around and saw all this interesting material on my computer and thought "I bet I could create a nice present for Pam using this stuff." I finished that present (the Detroit, Las Vegas, Houston, California, Penticton and Montana sections of this website) and placed a copy of it on Pam's computer in time for her birthday. Then I asked Pam whether or not she wanted me to place a copy on the internet as well. Pam said yes and this website was born in February of 2011. In the four years since then, I continued creating material and adding to the website until something happened to me in 2014 during the Calgary trip. I found myself with very little desire to collect bridge hands. Then, during this trip to the 2014 summer NABC in Las Vegas, I found myself with very little desire to create a Buckys record of what happened there even though I had lots of opportunities and some interesting stories to tell.
