University of Montana Report
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2021 12:21 pm
Drove with youngest out to Missoula last weekend.
2 vehicles out-1 back. He was a little leery about driving alone for the first time-plus he wanted us along to make sure tuition was paid correctly.
He and Mrs S wanted to drive through Yellowstone on the way out so we spent the first night in a family favorite town (Buffalo, Wyo) then drove through the parking lot that is Yellowstone.
Drove some pretty country between Yellowstone and Butte.
We were with him when he checked his guns in with campus security-he is hoping to find a place to hunt elk.
He is ready for his welding classes to start as this week was mostly orientation crap. He chose this program because he gets to be part of the University of Montana but then you get the downside with all the "capitalism sucks" crap tied to orientation.
He got to clear his palate some by attending the local Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation chapter banquet.
We stopped at the tourist trap that is "Wheat Montana" at Three Forks. Highly recommend this bakery stop and we will hit it again if we drive by and they are open. I was familiar with the story from farm magazines.
Waved at TGirl on the way through Billings.
I didn't get to stop at Little Bighorn (I wanted the bookstore) but did hit a museum bookstore in Cody Wyo and a bookstore in Medora.
