Hi my name is Jack Green and I work at the Cross Buck Ranch at Star Valley,Wyoming. I am 5'6" and weigh about 140 lbs, I know I am pretty heavy for my height but I do have well proportioned arms and a nice chest. My wranglers I wear is 28-30 and I also ride bulls on my off time at the ranch. The story I have to tell you is when I went to the Cody Nite Rodeo and this one guy I met there. You see I am straight or at least I thought I was straight until that fateful night. I pulled into Cody, the morning of June 4th and I was pulling my 5th wheel camper w/ my pickup and I pulled into Parkway Campground, a friend of mine was letting me in thru a special discount because his uncle ran the campground. When I pulled in his uncle met me in front. He said," You must be Jack Green, why don't you pull that camper over at that corner spot and get that camper set up, all the necessary hookups are there." This spot wasn't bad at all it was sitting right under the lodge pole pine giving me a little bit of shade. So I set it up got my camper hooked up and also uncoupled. I was ready to eat lunch, I set out to get something to eat and so I pulled into the local Dairy Queen. As I was eating a calf roper and good friend of mine sat down beside me. His name Quint Roberts I know funny name but a friend none the less. He kiddingly said," Are you here to try to ride one those big bulls?' I jokingly replied," Yeah, the same way you are going to try to rope those fast calves." We gave each other high 5's and he sat down w/ his lunch. I asked him," So what happened to Ray Everhaul the one that rides shotgun w/ u to here." Quint replied," Didn't you hear it happened a month ago, he broke his leg, his horse spooked and he landed on his leg wrong and broke it in three places, luckily it was a clean break, but it will take about 4 months to heal no way will it heal in time for him to rodeo." All I could do was just simply whistle, Quint and Ray went to school togather in Thermoplis and where you saw one you would see the other one. Quint said," I hear you have a new camper." I replied," It isn''t new it is about 6 years old but I got a really good deal on it, it is in really good shape, I got it for $4,500 and it is an 18 foot camper." It was Quint's turn to whistle and he looked at me w/ amazement. He asked," So do you have it here in town?" I said," I sure do it is at the Parkway Campground." He replied," Let me guess your high school buddy's uncle is running it right?" I said," Dennis Bates, yeah his uncle is running it." He replies," Your connections I swear you must be the luckiest guy in the world." He followed me to the campgrounds and to the camper. Quint gets out of his truck and exclaims," This is it, this camper is beautiful man." I said," Follow me inside I'll show you the rest of the camper." After showing him the inside he once again says," Talk about your deals,in this camper's case a steal." I laughed with his incredulity. He says," I don't know how you do all this." I said," So where are you staying?" He said," At that Park Motel in Powell, I am going to stay only tonight." I said," Wait a minute have u checked into the Park Motel yet?" Quint says," No I haven't and I don't have a reservation." I said," You aren't going to get a room, why don't you stary with me? I have another bed in this camper, and Ray isn't with you and you can save a few dollars at the same time." Quint says," Really, you mean it,if so I am grateful." This is the beginning of me questioning my sexuality the second part of this story I promise will be interesting in case this part isn't interesting enought.
