Microtel Inn And Sts Missoula

... there are places that I definitely don't want to leave without seeing. I plan on getting around by bus and staying at HI's and farmhouses. I'm most looking forward to hiking around Skaftafell National Park and seeing the glaciers around Jokulsarlon in the Southwestern part of the country. One of my lifelong dreams is to see the Aurora Borealis, cross your fingers ...

We went to Yellowstone today.Here're the headlines-- hard driving ,beautiful mountain views,waterfalls, and wildlife, blah,blah,blah!(Look at the pictures.) I know what my peeps want to hear - the dirt on how we're getting along.I told you that I was worried about Linda being too organized. Actually she's been totally flexible, going with ...

Well.....<br><br>We solved the "over heating" issue for now, turned out it was only the need for a new radiator cap. Our old cap was weak sauce apparently, couldn't handle the pressure. We'll see what happens when we hit the Rockies though....<br> After we left the dodge dealership this morning we made it all the way through the "skinny" part of Idaho, but it sure didn't ...

We decided to drive towards Glacier Park but near a larger city so we could do some shopping. <br><br>The landscape in Montana is unbelieveable. You have a large dry, barren mountain on one side with maybe a few trees or sagebushes and other other side is one green and loaded with trees. There there is going up and then coming down a 6-7 ...

Instead of driving back through the Tetons and Yellowstone, which would have taken hours, we drove north, strait through Idaho and headed to Missoula, Montana. On the way we stopped at a local brewery and sampled the spirits. Little did we know we would hit two more breweries that<br>day. But I guess that's how those sort of days start. We stayed with a couch surfer and great guy, Bob. He knew the town well and was ...

... of Coach Samps before meeting up with Kristi and Coach for a tour of Missoula and Montana University (where he used to coach) before hitting the town for a few drinks. Coach Samps should run for mayor of Missoula as popular as he is...good times.

... with a picnic dinner and enjoyed a concert in the park - the Missoula Symphony playing a western themed concert. In the morning we enjoyed a leisurely coffee and then said good bye to Lisa and her lovely home. We drove southeast, across the rolling ranchlands of Montana, once again crossing the continental divide and stopped just outside Yellowstone National Park.

... I watched her family surreptitiously as they splashed and little E. changed clothes in her lounge chair. It was strange to know and not know them. It was strange to be in this city long enough that I felt I should know them. Last time they were in Alaska when we visited; the time before we had a nice dinner the night before our plane left town. So - we talked. Yes, they have compost, and weren't too weirded out by our offer to present their pile ...

... I balked, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. We could always sell it on ebay when we returned home. Still, I felt like doing this represented some sustainable-parenting failure on my part. What kind of mom was I when I couldn't survive without this 21st-century gadget? CVS didn't have one. They sent us to Walgreens on the other side of the station. Joe stayed with the kids at the food court while I ran over; typical of the issues we faced as ...

... given me several pointers and criticisms that I would like to share with you 1. The most ominous is "Beware the path you must take and follow your original plan" - This has freaked me out a lot as I'm not sure what that was any more! 2. I am a good spirit surrounded by a black aura - That I take a lot of comfort in in a very strange way 3. I think too much I think that is evident in this thesis of a blog I hope Bear would not ...
