... clever.

If anyone knows of this disease, please can you let me know the cure. But please, please bear in mind that i think we are talking hours rather than days. As I write this, I grow weak. I'm not long for this world.


Thought of the Day

I must go in, the fog is rising.

For reference

I still have so much to give.
I hope men will say of me that I did duty by my country.

When we woke at Annie Boo and Drew's house we all had some pops fpr brakfast. ( almost forgot how amazing they were and talked about what we wanted to do for the day. We came to the conclusion that we would drive towards Absarokee (which is about 1 miles towards the beartooth mountains) and look for some rocks to boulder (climb). We drove for about 45 minutes and found this awesome trail that has some rock faces about half a mile into it. Tripp and I climbed for some time ...

... we are up here she gave us some good advice, ideas, guidelines, and some good words of wisdom. She also kept us laughing with her stories and jokes. After leaving we went to the community pool and got some A&W cream sodas(sparkling vanilla flavor)...one of the most amazing human inventions of of the 21st century. We then went to our barn that my parents own and checked out their ...

We took a recommendation from a roadsign in Laurel, MT, and it paid off...The sign told us to take Highway 212 "America's Most Scenic Highway" (this is a new Hwy 212 from the one that took us through cranky-ass Broadus) to get to Yellowstone. This is definitely the most beautiful stretch of highway I've ever been on, and just a downright damn cool road. We went up all these switchbacks ...

... Battleground, stopping at the overlooks, reading the signs that tells you what happened where (i.e. how Custer lost the 7th Calvary), and getting a bit peckish. I pull over at another viewpoint and grab a protein bar out of the back then get out of the car to check out Sniper Ridge. I'm reading the sign and looking around when I hear a boom. I turn around and don't see anything except another car going by so I think ...

... meal in it for him if he "knocked" on the door loudly enough... No sign of him since - maybe he'll show up for breakfast. Sorry there are no new pictures - we've been working on getting the blad done and haven't gotten around to downloading the recent stuff. See you in a few... Things we LOVE Down, polarfleece, "windstopper" material, and hot beverages Things we HATE Peeing outside when it's cold and windy The aftereffects of eating chili mac ;-(

... For those of you non-fishing types, "dirty water" is water that's been recently fished by someone other than yourself. The likelihood of there being fish in the area you want to fish (Z) is reduced exponentially (+/- Y) by the skill (X) of the previous fisherman. With X being the unknown, fishing dirty water is usually a waste of time. Additionally, if you find no fish where there ought to be fish, you can always assume that X=0 and blame it on someone else. I do ...

... it continues with the same pattern. Anyway, the magma resting beneath this park powers the mighty geysers and heats the fumeroles, hot springs and paint pots. The hot spring we visited released a foul, rotten egg odor caused by the emitted hydrogen sulfide gas and sulfur. When we finished our hot spring tour, we went to a nearby village to eat lunch, buy gifts, purchase souvenirs, stamp our National park passports, and visit the post office. We then drove to Mount ...

... the like. The highlight for the girls was a covered wagon ride of about half a mile to the school house, where they dressed in traditional clothes, recited alphabet and counted for their teacher, Mrs. McGuire. Jocey and Izzy were able to take the reins of the wagon on the way back to the homestead. We left DeSmet and made the 350 mile drive to Keystone, our base of operations for Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Badlands. When we made the reservations to stay in Keystone ...

... a road sign. So cables, distributor cap, tune-up set, book on auto maintenance for additional insights and 5 feet of vacuum hose. It was getting cooler because I had to get some wool insoles for my shoes at the drugstore.
Returned to the Safeway to do the work on the van in the parking lot. I realized I had the wrong set of cables so went back downtown to replace them. As I travel around I get impressions of the towns ...
