So I entered a motor vehicle for the first time in four weeks. I was sad to let my streak die, but it was good to get more than ten miles out of town. I felt like I was travelling extremely fast. It was weird like being in the future. A new friend from school, Liz, invited me to go feed her horse at a ranch in Florence. There were three dogs there that were insane and poorly behaved, but they were nice poochies and I liked them. The dogs and one of the cats followed us out to the river where we had some intense games of catch with only one tennis ball.
--This is Brego. He is a horse.
--Meet Katie. She was actually the least crazy but also the least photogenic--The Bitterroot Mountains
--Kitty who followed us meowing constantly
--Kate, Jake, and Earl enjoying the Bitterroot River
--Earl
--The Riv
--Ponderosa Pinage combined with light
--Right after taking this picture Jake had a tough time getting up this ledge and out of the river. So I ran down and pulled him up by the collar. I almost fell in because there was nothing to hold on to. After I got him out he promptly thanked me by jumping on my camera and then kicking sand all over it. It is operational but there is still some grinding when turning the aperture dial. i don't think he meant to.
--Moo. Angus. You will probably eat one of these guys later. Pyramid buttes (I think) in the background. Super huge jagged peak. I wanted to go up there.

--Back in Missoula. I got dropped of at school where my bike was. This is on the bike trail on the way home
--One of the three tunnels they built for me on my commute. They go under these horrible busy streets so I don't even have to stop. That was nice of them. It probably just looks like a tunnel to most, but if you listen to enough death metal you will realize that it is actually the eye of a panther.

Its so delightful to see and read about your journey. It brightens my day!! And Brego, being that he is a horse, and also a boy, couldnt have made me happier. Inspiring. So I got a guitar... It was 30 bucks at VV and came in a super cool hippie case. I'm stoked. Its beautiful in your neck of the woods. What does it smell like?
Hey David! Enjoyed the pics and dialogue!! Sounds like you are getting settled and in your groove. Please take in alot of calories to replace all the ones you are burning with those long rides and hikes!!! You need to be able to stay warm for your first Missoula winter!!! lol!
