Microtel Bozeman

We left Missoula around 10 o'clock today to head towards Bozeman. It was a nice relaxing drive though the Montana Rocky Mountains and "Charlie" did great! (Yes we named the van, ok so I named the van) <br><br>We Arrived in Bozeman around 2:00 and thought we would take in some education and visit the Museum of the Rockies. While trying to find our way we got stuck in a turn only lane ...

We spent a second day at Yellowstone Park, visiting the Mud Volcano and Sulphur Caldrons along the road from Fishing Bridge to Canyon Village. It was quite amazing to see large pools of mud boiling. There was a cave that seam and boiling water came out of with a loud noise called Dragon's Mouth Spring. There were some wonderful falls on the Yellowstone River in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. After having lunch in Canon Village we continued on to Norris and visited some of the geysers ...

We were a day early getting to our reserved spot at the Yellowstone North entrance so this site was recommended to us. It was a nice relaxing park right by the Yellowstone River. The river is swift flowing and not very deep. It seems like most of the people here flyfish and the current moves them swiftly north and I am not quite sure how they get back it seems like a heck of alot of rowing.<br><br>Didn't do much today but relax.

The immense open spaces of Montana are difficult to fathom for a girl accustomed the overdeveloped, densely populated East Coast and Florida flats. The expanse we traversed between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park was impressive. Our southwestern departure from the park on Hwy. 2, then Hwy. 93, and finally I-90, took us through Kalispell (where we ...

We stopped into Bozeman for a couple days to visit Tom Starner and family - wife Kelly Ann, and kids Savanah, Joey, and Bailey. Darren roomed with Tom during his balla' days at UTSA and was coached at UTSA by Tom's dad Stu. We had a great time with a great family in a great area...great!<br>

... after the night of drinking, wayyy too much, and Danielle and I went to the Gallatin County FSA office. We met another co-worker for lunch at Fiesta Mexicana. It was as good as I remember it, and they were impressed with my Spanish skills. From there, I needed a nap. Still not really up to par from the previous night. Danielle planned a dinner for the FSA crowd, and I invited Becky and Jami from MSU. We all met up for ...

... dark Anneloes and the kids went down as we tried to get out the last piece of gear that was still stuck in the rock. A hard headed nut decided it did not want to come out of the rock any more. So in the end we had to leave it there for the night. Unfortunatelly when Vance went up the next day it wasn't there anymore. Even though I climbed only two routes I had a very nice first climbing experience in Montana!

... our 3.30am bus to Salt Lake City. As with all Greyhounds we arrived 1 hour earlier to discover Bozeman at night is freezing. 3.30 am came and went. The 6 of us waiting were getting more than a little frustrated and colder by the second. We were entertained for a little while by a handy guitar playing passenger-to-be/singer-song-writer and also the red neck girl from California who had just been deserted in Bozeman by her boyfriend (Dean: she was an ex-stripper though ...

... s. Thus, I had no grand vision of the project I was und**taking, and this made it difficult for me to get excited about or even und**stand my tasks. My second-favorite memory from my construction week was when my blond, twenty-five-year-old boss, Nathan, said, "Can we build it? Yes we can!" quoting cartoon-charact** Bob the Build**. My favorite memory was probably when Nathan handed me a check for $290. Woohoo, I was a millionaire! By the end of the week, Marcus was ...
