Blogs from Bozeman, Montana, United States, North America

Deadwood to Bozeman is another long drive....7 hours by google map, or put it simply, another 430 miles. most of it is through the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. We were not in any hurry today. The next big stop is the Yellowstone National Park. But accommodation in the park is not the cheapest, and I'm still chasing my status achievement on Starwood. Good I have some points left with SPG...a night in the simple Element in Bozeman is a whopping 260usd a night. So we spent few points....got a nice upgrade with a nice kitchen. The drive is a pretty nice one. Nothing amazing on the way, very few people living around here too. We spotted some wildlife....and many more flowers on the way. Not a lot of pictures here. I'm doing a blog to add ... read more

Greetings from Bozeman, Montana! I am less than 150 miles from my destination for he next week, Billings MT. The only problem is that I allowed an extra day in case anything went wrong. Nothing did, thankfully and my reservation does not begin until tomorrow, so Bozeman it is for tonight. I began my day in a rather leisurely fashion. Had some coffee, chatted with the locals, ets. Then I put some time into the bike. Over the last couple of days, two problems have developed. First, the stitching on one of my saddlebag lids began to give way, causing it to flap in the breeze (this has been audible on a couple of my videos). Second, yesterday, the return spring on my rear brakelight switch broke and was vibrating against the exhaust making a really ... read more

Tout d’abord, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas mon histoire. Je m’appelle Catherine, originaire de Beauharnois, petite ville situe a l’ouest de Montreal. Depuis mon enfance, je ressens que ma vocation est de faire evoluer les gens. Je ne sais pas comment j’atteindrais ce but. Je sais uniquement que cela passera par mon evolution personnelle. Il y a 2 mois, j’ai donc entrepose tous mon materiel d’appartement dans un entrepot. J’ai vecu a deux endroit differents de juillet a la mi-septembre. Mon été fut memorable. Mon desir de partir fut plus fort que tout. J’etais bien. Cependant, j’avais besoin de devenir heureuse. Sourire et ressentir le frisson qui accompagne ce sourire sincere. Decrouvrir des lieux avec les yeux de l’enfant en moi. Faire face a mes peurs. Ne plus craindre la vie, ne plus m’eriger de ... read more

Today officially begin at 5am. Students and parents gathered to give final hugs and prayers to the students before departure. Everything at the airport went great. The kids stayed together and followed instructions and made the whole process very smooth. Our first flight to Denver went great, as did the second flight into Billings. The group had a great lunch at HuHot Mongolian Grill and then went to Scheels Sport store. Scheels can best be described as a Dicks sporting good mixed with a Cabelas sports store. The kids loved it, a little to much making for a change of plans for the rest of the evening and leading to the end of the story with a 10:00pm diner in Manhattan where we are staying. We made it in late and are looking forward to a ... read more

Yellowstone. Day 15 The Road to Ennis Good continental breakfast at hotel before nice sunny start at 8.30am along the south of Bozeman to join the main highway to Four Corners. A wide road with fast traffic but thankfully a wide shoulder to ride on. We set off like the 'lead out' train for Team Sky but slackened off when we started to climb up past the golf course and seeing people spoiling a good walk. Once onto Norris Road life became more civilised and I could take photos of yet more tractors and farm machinery alongside the occasional buzzard and other animals such as a herd of deer and alpacas, a hare and a badger, which unfortunately were now road kill. There was a definite Dutch feeling to this area with many Dutch Barns and ... read more
