Roadtrip highlights

Re: Andrea's post and picture: Poor James J. Walker...All those mouths to feed and his rightful means of support taken right out of his hand by his nasty twin copper king brother! What a tragedy! Here's my short list of highlights from the trip:

• Washing my hair in Canyon Ferry lake. Probably illegal, but hopefully I didn't kill too much wildlife. . .
• The spectacular Gates of the Mountains boat tour. The weather was so perfect and the view was incredible.
• Creeping up the darkened back stairs of the capitol building to find our way to the senate chamber.
• Dozing on the Capitol lawn.
• Playing "Guess that tune" with the XM radio.
• Playing Scategories with the Rocchios.
• The BEST s'more EVER. period. Have you ever had a s'more where the chocolate was so melted that it was dripping everywhere? Wow.
• The stage coach ride, play, and infamous photo in Virginia City.
• Saturday night's culinary adventures - ramen cooked on my backpacker's stove in the motel room, pepper jack cheese, goldfish, and Gewurztraminer. Amanda and I topped it off with coffee and pie at the Ennis Cafe before watching the sunset from the shores of Ennis Lake.
• Worshiping at Gallatin Valley Presbyterian Church on Sunday Morning.

One of the best pictures I got was taken by Mr. Front Street Market. . . He was a hoot, and he took a good picture, too:

By the way, Andrea, I really like the way my sap and flowers turned out on your camera!
