2023 Mar 28 Bozeman Montana, Museum of the Rockies

mar 28 Tuesday 1p.m  Bozeman goofing off.


done with the Museum, would recommend!   tons of fossils, and i liked the room that had some Western era pioneer/settler gear.


this afternoon will probably see a movie, and tonight i need to go through the fridge, something in there is getting a bit fragrant.



I’m sorely tempted to drive the 20 minutes to GFC just to scope it out, but I have to wait for my appt anyway, and I’ll have 2+ hours to kill tomorrow when they do the fix.   might get a hat/shirt


if everything goes super well, we’ll head south to Ogden UT.    The weather is a bit cold in Montana, and everything is snowed in, so we can only stay in urban areas.


Anyway Ogden is where my Expedition One bumpers came from, and it’s on the way to our proper overlanding spots..  about 6 hrs from GFC, and there’s a Crkr B there.   hopefully our last one for awhile.


mar 28 tuesday 6p.m.

this afternoon caught John Wick 4.    It’s pretty good!   

back at the Walmart.  It’s snowing.   I think Bozeman got a couple feet late Sunday and yesterday.    people are just digging out now.   it feels more like busy Saturday traffic.    It’ll be good to get away from civilization soon.


although, i’m appreciating a Walmart salad right now..  Never thought I’d type/say that.




March 28 Tuesday bozeman, museum of the Rockies.


30 min from gfc.  Appt tomorrow morning.    Will overnight at the Bozeman Walmart.   Ran the heater all last night.   Used about 2 liters of diesel, and <1 amp per hour.   Was warm in the tent even  though there was a low of 12F outside.   Tent was 55 inside.  


Will do again tonight, will be very cold again and i want the tent dry for the gfc guys tomorrow.   Back to the museum.

First Bikepacking Trip

  My kingdom for a pair of scissors!   More on that later.   Actually I'm ordering these fiskar ones to keep in my tool bag.     I trust myself with scissors but not a small knife in the middle of nowhere out in the woods.      https://a.co/d/6AycWwH       The trip was fun and a success.   i didn't forget anything (see previous blog packing list); i've just realized having a small pair of scissors would be very useful for trimming tire plugs and opening stubborn dehydrated meal bags. Sunday night I camped in the truck's GFC camper at one of my favorite spots near where my bike trip was going to start.   I wanted to get an early start Monday morning which is easier when you're just a 15 minute drive away vs 3 hours.    And no I'm not posting online where my preferred camping spot is because it's mine, ALL MINE!!!!.    jk, but yeah, on principle it's silly to list your favorite sp...

Overland Expo East 2024 Saturday and Sunday

      Saturday morning no 10 am seminar this morning, but i did wake up earlier than i expected, so i rode down for the 9a.m. opening before the crowds of day visitors swarmed. The Bronco guys turned their music off around 10-10:30 last night, but they were "drunk" loud. I'm sure they thought they were being quiet when talking around their little propane campfire, but drinking makes you deaf. Anyway, I ran into Jeff mid morning while walking around. I bought another 6 pack of roperollers from the Rollercam booth. And finally, I wrapped up the morning by getting a ridiculously overpriced burger after waiting in line 15 minutes and waiting another 20 for the burger to be ready. Burger was maybe ⅓ lb size? just cheese, no toppings, nothing else and it was $20. with a coke and tip closer to $30. should have just gone back to my truck to eat lunch, or better yet, gone to the taco or bbq trucks. NEVER get the fresh burger from a food truck when the line is long. T...

2025 end of May Moose River Plains camping

Went camping at Moose River Plains again.   Drove up Monday (Memorial Day), left Friday.   Nothing exciting really, just journaling for when I'm too old to go anymore 😢   Monday  Jeff and I were able to grab our favorite site.   You have to drive over Wakely dam and then bang a right and camp up on the little hill by Cedar River Flow.     That site seems to always have wind, so it's not good for late Fall camping (too cold), but early Summer, the wind helps to keep most of the bugs away.    You don't really get a view of the water, but you can hear it as it goes through the dam.    I only had to wear my mosquito net over my head around dusk when the bugs really came out strong.    Our Thermocell insect repellers seemed to work pretty well too when it wasn't windy.   It's a short walk to the dam to take photos. First night we were there, this odd character walked over around 9:30 p.m. in the d...
