  • Trans Am, Day 88: Hanging out in Missoula

    I spent the day hanging out with my daughter, and we went to the Western Montana Fair. Unlike fairs in the city, you can PET the animals, so that’s what we did.

    We also decided to ride a couple of the rides, and chose The Zipper for our first ride. I was so close to losing my breakfast. It went on and on. There weren’t many people there yet, and I think the operator was being “nice”. My daughter and I were both queasy for an hour afterwards. We decided to ride the ferris wheel for our next ride!

    It was nice to have a day just hanging out, chatting, and playing with her wonderful dogs, but I am ready to keep moving. I also dodged a bullet, because there were fierce thunderstorms with dramatic hail on both Saturday and Sunday, but the forecast looks good now.

    We watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure at the awesome Roxy Theater!

    This rooster was so calm.  He let us touch the bottom of his feet, which were very soft.  He also knew which cage was his, and his girl put him on the ground and he hopped down the aisle and jumped in.

    Goat foot.  I've never really looked at one up close!

    Sully was standing in the hailstorm with his eyes squinting to slits while the rest of us stood under the balcony.
