Montana is awesome and I love every bit of it.  I'm going to do some professional blogs on my trip, so there will soon be pictures and more thorough commentary, but I just wanted to mention that I'm having an awesome time.  Yesterday, Z and I went horseback riding on a ranch in Absarokee.  I don't think there's a future for me in equestrian sports, but I'm glad I got to try it.  I'm really sore today, though.  Why do saddles have to be so hard?  Couldn't they make them out of pillows, clouds, and rainbows?

On Tuesday night, I got a call from the owner of a company in Portland who is interested in hiring me.  We chatted for a little while and everything sounded great -- he said he'd email me some information, but that still hasn't come yet, so that's a little frustrating.  I think I'll call him back later today though.  It seemed like a cool job. 

 

Today, we're going to hike in Big Sky, then end our day at a historic hotel in Virginia City.  The Pocatello sectional starts tomorrow, then we come back to Montana for more fun times.  Then Wyoming, then...?  :)

 

McKenzie leaves for Penticton on the 11th or so, but I have five more days of Wyoming travel lined up after that.  A friend was originally planning to join me, but she had to back out, so I'm on my own for now.  But all the activities and lodging are covered, and I could help with plane tickets if anyone wants to join me for a few days.  I'd love to have a travel buddy, and it's pretty awesome in these parts.  If you feel like taking a week off and doing the Yellowstone/Cowboy thing, this is a totally serious open invitation.
