360 miles traveled

this is an entry for three states that i had not previously been to in my life. in fact, i never thought that i would ever go to these states...

wow. more nature...

the low down...

idaho is of course, beautiful. green and full of snake holes and sparse with people. still with too much of an undercurrent of religious snobbery. after living in new orleans and los angeles for so long i have forgotten what it is like to get...those looks. those sideways disapproving glances from old ladies with bad hairdos. it has been a while and i am not so much a fan of them as i like to keep to myself. and that was idaho...

wyoming. again. beautiful. too many slow highways. this day has been the longest. nature is good, but not from the inside of a car. i am getting restless. the stop in jackson hole only works to piss me off more...anywhere there is people. the landscape is worth it all, but i think i need to slow down for the sake of sanity. some canadian geezer ran into our car trying to get a parking space. it is like fucking la...everyone in jackson hole is from la, nyc, or connecticut. not that i mind those people...i mind the rich douchebag ones. fuck you douchebags!

yellowstone is again...beautiful. but it takes three hours to drive from the top to the bottom. this puts us off the itinerary as there is no way we can make it to billings this night. livingston, mt will have to do. if we can get past the annoying bitches in the car ahead of us who keep waving at every single fucking car that passes them. this goes on for an hour. finally they turn off. i do not wave to them, instead, flash the finger outside of the rear view mirror. fuck you friendly people! may your arms be mauled by bears. or meeses. or bears, meeses, and eagles. finally, we get out of yellowstone. it is stinky. but beautiful. of course.

so we are out of yellowstone. on to livingston. oh...wait...livingston is booked solid due to a rodeo. THEY HAVE RODEOS HERE!!! so we had to drive 20 more miles (which at this point is like death) to bozeman. passing through bozeman is pleasant even though the only window in the best western hotel room (which are everywhere in these parts) faces the indoor swimming pool. and when the curtains close, there is nothing but blackness...which means dead 13 hour sleep for me...
