80mph to Bozeman…
The rain stopped – I had smooth air all the way – a far cry from the wind and rain of yesterday.
Getting closer, the Bridger Mountains came into view, just as I imagined them. I thought this would be a great place to get a better view (wanted to get airborne). I rode straight to Gallatin Field to check it out. I met Teri at Summit Aviation, and she informed me that Mark Taylor (Rocky Mountain Rotors) did flight instruction in his Robinson R-22. Mark and I met up, and immediately I knew I found the right guy. I didn’t want to just go flight seeing,..I wanted to fly the helicopter myself. One half-hour of ground school and we were off! We flew toward the Spanish Peaks to look for buffalo, elk, and wolves. Mark's expert instructing skills made my flight invaluable from a student's perspective, as well as a traveler. Thanks again, Mark!!!
This morning it’s time to hit the road again, and my new local Montanan friend, Teri, showed me a local place for breakfast that was great! Folks from Bozeman have been eating there for years, long before all the big box stores and the "outsiders" encroached upon this valley. I love little places like this cafe, they’re strongholds of original American culture and must be preserved and protected. I highly recommend you eat there at least once, but don’t ask me where to find it. If you want to visit, you gotta find it yourself. (Unplanned, unscheduled, and just happening,..that's Our Warrior!)
