Thompson's Go West .....Yee Haa

Well . . . we're here!! I think we'd all begun to doubt this defection to the West would ever happen, but here we are . . . slap bang in the middle of Cowboy Country!! Complete with extras from the Village People (handlebar moustaches included - seriously!), wild coyotes, and your actual tumbleweed blowing around. There's also McDonalds but, hey, where isn't there?
