Montana or bust, Day 2

May 31, 2008

Bill called at noon to say he had just crossed into Kentucky…which surprised me as I didn’t expect him to be that far along. I was looking at the map and weather and thinking about schedules…

Anyway, I hied myself off to the hardware and picked up the wood for the bus to sit on to have that done and talked to Sara who was going to do some Bob caretaking to re-arrange a bit…

Just now (5:30 p.m.) - talked to the man who made it to Benton, IL for the night and plans on north of Kansas City for tomorrow - putting him in South Dakota by Tues… and I can’t get there by then…so we discussed options and the new and current plan is that he will come all the way to Montana and I’ll save the one way car rental, gas to S.D., lost work time, etc. and hope to find absinthe locally. There was no guarantee Spearfish would still have it anyway.

So…a few less things for me to arrange and a few more days he’ll have to drive on his own but if he continues at the current pace should be here in MT by next weekend.

But, I did get the wood…

Some different mountain views

At times, the views in the mountains change from moment to moment…

Living here - in Montana, in the shadow of the Continentel Divide has been my choice for fourteen years. I was thrilled yesterday when I discovered that Mountain Jobs had discovered From the Front Porch. Further, that the summary was so how I hope the writing and the photography is perceived as well as an accurate vision of how I hope I am living my life here. The Mountain Jobs Blog Post titled “Big Sky Country: simple pleasures living in Montana” made my day!

For those readers who hope to someday live in the mountains, Mountain Jobs is an employment network. The company and the site work to bring employers together with people looking for the mountain lifestyle. While the company is based in Jackson, Wyoming, it serves employers and job seekers from the entire mountain west.

From Wednesday through last evening as I write this post that will appear Saturday morning - the mountain views have changed from moment to moment.

Driving home Wednesday afternoon, clouds were starting to build up along the mountains surrounding the valley while all the while the sky was a brilliant blue…

The sky and mountain views glowed with the colors of the rainbow that evening… a scene I captured in yesterday morning’s post: Mountain Sunset Alpinglow

Yesterday (Friday) morning the mountain views were VERY different…
