Montana is phat daddy nutsack. Haven't seen a whole lot of it but what I have seen smells like hot wood... kinds like that smell when you're inside a sauna. Its hazy as a mug. Not sure how close the forest fires are, definitely not within driving distance. Although speaking of driving, after gorging myself on a 24oz porterhouse ( a little overdone ) I decided to go for a walk. It didnt take long before I realised i was in some sort of private residential area, so I turned back. Now I had a loftier goal. I wanted to get me and my Rodeo up in some of the nearby Rocky Mountains, I think the local range is called the Salish Mountains. So I glanced over the map and found a nervous, black, unmarked stretch of road that breaks off from Rt 93 (goes up to Canada, eh?) and seems to traverse a peak, 6000ft or so above sea level. VERY beautiful. I snapped some shots with my sisters digicam and I'll put them up on here later. At some point winding and twisting up into the mountains, the road turns to gravel and signs like, "LOGGING AHEAD" start popping up. Its at this poitn that I realise that if I careen off this clifflike road, I'm either done for or lost forever. Yet I keep going, trusting in the fact that I havent turned onto or off of any roads so going back down shouldnt be a problem. But you know, going farther and farther into basically barren wilderness does tend to weigh on a fellas minds eventually. So even though I know exactly where I am (well, roughly) I turn around... oh shit.. where'd that truck come from!! So know I'm cautiously creeping down some random mountain with an equally random 4x4 behind me the whole way. I make it back to rt 93 and off I fly back to Grouse Mountain Lodge.

More than the soothing wild scenery, the fact that I'm somewhere that I've never been before is a so-far neverending source of amusement to me. Montana! Go figure. Reminds me of the Adirondacks, yet its not.. bizarre. I like it.

greetings from the land of black wool and abstinence.. Salt Lake City. Rock.

Lets just say that my supposed to be easy travel arrangements out of nearby national airport were nothing short of disasterous. Now instead of going through Minne and getting into Kalispell nice and early so I can explore, i had to jump in a cab (free) and bolt out to IAD to get on a Delta flight to gay ass SLC. Which also means that I'll get into Kalispell about 3 hours later than i had hoped. I hope this whole state burns...after I leave :-
On the plus sides, I had a REALLY interesting chat on the way out to Dulles with an Afghan cabdriver who gave me the latest skinny from home. Very interesting stuff. The one thing I took away from it all, Pakistan is where we should be focusing our efforts...oh thats right, they're our buddies.. sweet.. Abdul Kakar. A cool dude to go with an extremely odd morning. anyway, I'm going to go bury my sorrows in the mountain of red swedish fish I just bought. Nigh a pound!! Should be good. Peace out. Maybe more later from Montana.
