Mercy – Muse "Shut up and love" -LaVonne My brother told me once that it doesn’t matter if you slow down, as long as you do not stop. That guy I met in Canyon Village told me not to beat myself up over the passes I could not bike; it’s your adventure, you call the shots. I am having a rough pass lately, I do not feel like I am doing enough. Montana is beautiful and the sun is shinning up and proud practically everyday; but I seem to have no control over my laziness. It’s gonna come back, I am working on it. But I did go on a really cool hike this weekend, at Corbly Gulch. Following a creek up to Skyline Ridge in the Bridgers and down the same way, it was a ... read more

Petit papillon – Jean Leloup "Tu sème le bonheur à chaque pas que tu fais, mais à ton réveil la vie reprend son train"- coeur de pirate We do not have a lot of forest fires where I come from. Never have I seen as much smoke as I have seen surrounding Belgrade in the last few days. It comes and goes on a random schedule almost impossible to see in advance. They say it is one of the worst years; it comes from all around; from California to Alberta. Amazed as I was by the Bridgers that frame the east of the area, I was even more surprised to not see them in the first smoky morning. You can’t see a mile ahead, or almost. I didn’t think much of it after explanations, what could ... read more

Every other freckle - alt-j To be honest I have purchased a couple albums and songs in the last few days and I am genuinely obsessed with them. This is all yours – Alt-J Make it Happen – Nizlopi Up Rise EP – Nizlopi Half these songs are about you – Nizlopi Selah Sue – Selah Sue ( eponyme) Lockjaw – Flume & Chet Faker ( merci Isa et Pierrot!) And a few wonderful songs I have been in Montana for a week now and am completely in love. They call it Big Sky country for a reason. Can’t wait to go on hikes and adventures. But on the first day I got there I met this guy. Meeting people is always a big deal for me, but I am becoming more and more comfortable with ... read more

The road ahead - deer creek, Yellowstone

My last night in Dakar-Nizlopi ‘You’ve got some soul searching to do girl? Don’t ever let anyone get in the way. You got this’ that women in Old Faithful. So I just finished my first real long distance bike ride. I will have to calculate the official number, but I think it turns around 300miles/480km in 20 days, with some hikes in between. I feel great. The last miles were hard and coming back to regular civilization happened a bit too fast for me, but I feel really good; like I just found something that makes me feel like I am living, a thing that animates me. I lost some things, I am really stinky, as is all of my stuff, I have had some really scary experiences on the road and I am smiling like ... read more

Landing in Montana

GeoffandJudy

Up before 7am - breakfast and finishing the packing - ready for our flight to Bozeman. Had a coffee with Linda's Swedish friends Be-be and her husband Gustof...they are a great couple. Gustof is a practising dermatologist and Be-be is a retired general practioner - both are in their 70's. We all agreed we should meet up again in 2016! Rain in Seattle today. The drive to Seatac airport was straightforward even in the rain. After dropping off the rental we caught a shuttle bus over to the terminal. SeaTac is a huge place. When we arrived at the self serve check in counter we noticed that our fight had been brought forward by an hour - now leaving at midday rather than 1pm. Luckily we had arrived early for the flight. Check In of bags ... read more
