Not a lot to update on tonight. I'm now in Billings, Montana (sorry for the washed-out photo) watching Forest Gump at a hotel. I got into town around 8:15 but didn't take a tour or anything. Tomorrow I think I'll head towards Gardiner, MT (my check-in point) which is only about 3 hours away. This should provide plenty of time to search around Billings for something to do. I wanted to get in a run this morning before I left Fort Collins, CO but got stuck watching le Tour de France on the television, so that put a wrinkle in the plans.
I went around Fort Collins for awhile, and it seemed like a nice town. They've got some good shopping areas with what looked to be like good eateries. I almost had to pull the awkward card and go eat by myself. I was able to convince myself not to do that, being that I had to do that at the hotel for breakfast earlier in the day. I was looking for a t-shirt shop type place with Colorado State apparel so I could get a hat for Dad, but I wasn't able to find one. The bookstore at the union on campus was closed since it was Sunday, so I came out empty handed. Sorry, Dad.
I took a little walk around the Animal Sciences building, simply wondering if Sarah and Noah would soon be students attending classes in that building. I don't think I was supposed to be in the building being that only one door was unlocked and all of the lights in the hallways were shut off. Good thing I didn't get caught!
The drive today was long, but manageable. I saw quite a few horses, which may have been wild. I really don't know, but it was cool to tell myself they were. There were a number of antelope, and a sighting of bison amongst cattle. Not too bad for a days worth of work. There was a little rain coming from the Colorado/Wyoming border and into Wyoming. After I was north of Cheyenne, it really wasn't too bad and was pretty clear for most of the way. However, once I hit the Montana border it was a different story. Plenty of rain showers all the way to Billings.
This is about all I've got for now. See ya.
