Blue skies out the window of my Homewood Suites in Billings, MT. Slept well in comfy bed and look forward to shave and shower this morning. I saw a sign yesterday about a turnoff to Pictograph State Park and it is only 5 miles from here, it opens at 9 so I will do thatContinue reading “The Twang!”

My rip off of the great Motorcycle Diaries (2004 film about Che Guevara traveling during his last year of medical school and seeing the awful poverty of South America) and My Beautiful Laundrette (brilliant 1985 Brit film about immigrants and LGBTs during the Thatcher regime). See how creative I can be with access to theContinue reading “My Beautiful Laundromat Diaries”

After a very leisurely meal and filling gas tank I drove slowly up the 2 mile dirt road into the Gallatin National Forest (I assume named for the same Gallatin, Secretary of Treasury, that Alex’s college is) and into the strange and sublime isolation of no internet, TV, radio, outside world.

Writing at 8:20 PM but won’t be able to post this until tomorrow as NO cell service at my campground in the National Forest just 5 miles north of parks North Entrance (I came in through the west entrance). I got gas and some sandwiches just after exiting park through the Roosevelt Arch and hadContinue reading “Yellowstone Wednesday part 2”

Just doing another quick note here, partly to see if I can even post to blog with the 3G they have at the visitor center areas (rest of park has basically zip). I was able to sent a photo via text but video failed. Weather channel app works but sluggishly. I left the hotel atContinue reading “Old Faithful”
