roadtrip

Dozens of entertainers and performers. Jousting! Falcons! Bards and maidens! Craftsmen making swords and 1,400 pounds of smoked turkey legs for everyone. Sounds like a pretty good time to us. Montana Ren Fest 2024 is June 1 - 2 at the Red Lodge Fairgrounds.

Folks, Paul really needs you to comment and help save a young girl's life that he works with, or at least save her from something catastrophic.

I've had some of the best times in small towns around Montana. The vibe of these tiny communities can't be artificially created.

You hear this a lot, unless you're from there, you don't get it. One of my least favorite places in Montana is Glendive. Now I know that will make some people mad and I really don't know why but I make it a point to never stop there if I head that direction...

Right now, a road trip from Billings to Whitefish will cost about $50 more in fuel than last year. If it hits $5 a gallon, the same trip will cost $220 for regular gas. Ouch.

Road trips, the most fun you can have with your friends or the worst week that you can spend with your family and It's still my preferred mode of transportation. A little "windshield time" is always good for my attitude.

For me, which road I take depends on what I think my velocity might be on that particular trip.

During my drive back from Indiana to Montana, I took the route that goes through South Dakota. If you've never made the drive between Billings and Sioux Falls, there are some interesting sites to visit.

Last week at this time I was on my way back from California. I was never so glad to get back in Montana after that trip.

It must have something to do with the nice weather today. I've heard from a lot of people who would rather hop in their vehicles and go for a drive than be at work today. My drive starts with Elvis' version of "The Promised Land:. The I'd play some Sheryl Crow "Steve McQueen", and probably add Freddy Weller's "Roadmaster" in there some place...
