Daily Log Well after a great night of rest in a comfortable bed (maybe the last one for a while), I'm off again. A HUGE thanks to Tina, John, Dominic, and Vinny (a phone call caused me to lose one of my new friends in the photograph). What a wonderful family... great conversation, great dinner and a GREAT shower! Only a few days into my trip but I feel quite refreshed after last night.

First let me say, Bozeman is beautiful! It reminds me a little bit of Denver (where I grew up) only because of the mountains on the horizon. The big differences are lack of pollution, mountains surrounding the city (in Denver they are only in the west), and much smaller population. Can't wait to return!

I had beautiful weather today. Lots of clear blue sky and beautiful snow-capped mountains as you can see from the pictures. One of my favorites of the day is here. The further east I got, the more puffy white clouds appeared. Sometimes, you just get lucky! Of course, being a photographer, I regretted not taking more pictures today. The weather was perfect and I have this funny feeling that that will change shortly. I haven't been paying attention to the weather reports like I should but it simply can't be this perfect for the next month. No matter, I've got all the gear I need for any weather and who cares... I'm on my motorcycle heading to Newfoundland!!!
