There's nothing like the wide open spaces of the Midwest

Suzanne Allman's cross-country trip was fraught with accidents. First, daughter Mouse totaled a parked car just as they were crossing the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, which meant they were obliged to tote the cowboy on crutches, whose car, clothes and credit cards they'd destroyed, all the way to his Wyoming ranch.

The second incident also involved Billy Blue, who chatted, joked and sang cowboy songs as they cruised through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. With a man as unique as Billy at her side, it wasn't really an accident that Suzanne collided head-on with love. It seemed like one--but maybe accidents were just another name for destiny.
