Howdy squirrelbait! yes the campfire was dumb, the posse just followed the smoke signal, good point! They were pitiful in their planning. But that other guy she was with, Boot, he got the book thrown at him because he didn't have a sad story to tell, he was sentenced to 30 years!

BUT, he escaped, and they never caught him, they're sure he went to Mexico. Thanks so much for your perceptive observations and comments!
