July 17, 2007

Haven't been in my tent in at least ten days; stretched out under the Big Sky. Helping a business owner open a small car lot right next to the helena Fair grounds on Custer. We will knock off about 1-2 if it is to hot to work and I head straight for Spring Meadow Lake a mile away to saok in the cleranest water I ever been in. I swim for 45 minutes and won't have to find a place to shower tonight. Got a nearly new super ;ight Fuji M-100 Mountain Bike the day after I found all new camping gear so I am ready for my yearly bike pilmgrimage to Missoula then the Gold Route (Bannack, Dillion, etc.) I need about 10 days on that bike of 12 hour days of peddeling and camped out under the stars at night, all the body melting away...besides the health benifits it makes you a very good bike rider as well!
Gotta go to work for a few hours ....stay posted

Thomas Francis Meahger My Montana Hero

"My heart, my arm, my life are pledged to the national cause and to the last it shall be my highest pride, as I conceive it to be my holiest duty and obligation to share its fortunes." From Speech at Jones Woods, New York 1861

"The true American knows, feels and with enthusiam declares, that of all human emotions, of all human passions, there is not one more pure, more nobile, more conducive to good and great and glorious deeds, than that which bears us back to the spot that was the cradle of our childhood, the theatre of our manhood."
From Address delivered in Virginia City, Montana March 17, 1866. Inscribed below the statute of Thomas Francis Meagher Statute at the Montana State Capital, Helena, Montana.

Montana Bound

Hell, I was waiting to hear from you. Everything same here....told my boss and landlord I was leaving next weekend so its set in stone short of severe weather...Gonna take the local bus as far west up the beach as it goes at Long Beach Miss, where I will continue the last ten miles of a 26 mile hike up the beach from Ocean Springs to Bay St Louis white sandy made made beach with what used to be antebellum homes where I now camp on their fron yard at will... the sun is brutal in the day time and you cant sleep right on the beach ceacuse of the sand mites but since the hurricane the water is pristine clean the only down side is that the water is so shallow you have to walk ut a half mile to get waist deep.. As pretty in the daylight as the night....espeially when the weather is nice which is most of the time...very little open so I have to pack my own water...There is a big Hydropland SMOKING THE SOUND happening there this weekend sponsored by the Biloxi Hard Rock Cafe about five miles from here.
That will be a 3-4 day hike then I'm hitting the interstae to I-20 in Jackson MS to Albuquerque and may start heading north there
