“What are you going to do for your bonus day at Ucross?” Caitlin asked us as we traversed the winding road through the mountains from Sheridan back to Ucross after two canceled flights and a night at the Best Western. Caitlin was the communications director at Ucross, dispatched to bring Erica and I back to the comfort and safety of the Schoolhouse for the wait for tonight’s flight out to Denver.

Bonus day, indeed. Bonus days, really.
