Ugh, I tried typing the post while simultaneously uploading photos (which are all out of order), and nothing wants to move around on this computer, so scroll to the middle to read the post...
All of us on the rancid carseat.
I pilfered these Glacier photos from Kate, who had time to stop since they went through in the afternoon.
Coolest thing I have ever done.
Gorgeous morning sunrise in Glacier. Note Jessie in the foreground.
Ingenious tent burrito.
J-Muffin!
At second lunch the day into St. Mary's we found this dirty old carseat on the side of the road. Bobby sat down and proclaimed, "All I need now is the Olympics." I was content to watch the mountains.
Double outhouse
"You've got to face your fears, Ricky Bobby."
So
freaking
funny
Back in Idaho, that is!
Yesterday we crossed the border into my adoptive homeland...Idaho. For those of you who are unfamiliar with my tie to this great state, I worked in Idaho last summer as a forest ranger. I can't go into specifics, but the experience was somewhat of a bust. Fortunately however, I came out of the experience with some awesome stories. I shared the grand daddy with the riders yesterday; Isaiah and J-Muf were especially impressed.
Things have been pretty routine other than that. Jessie, the queen of crazy christian dogma, discovered the most awesome textbook in the Christian school the other day.
Title: Exploring Creation with Physical Sciences
This science textbook included scripture excerpts and first person narrative. Among the scientific concepts refuted: carbon dating, evolution.
Quotes:
"You see, the Bible is the single most accurate historic document of its time."
(in reference to modern scientists):"They believe in the discredited theory of evolution."
"A creationist framework is much more in agreement with the data;...that's why the theory of evolution should be thrown out."
And a nice quote from a dating manual (which included advice that dating in a group was paramount and that physical interaction should be limited to hand-holding): "Consider taking a year off from dating and date Jesus for a while."
And in other news, I chopped my hair off. When wet, it appears as though it was cut with a blowtorch (a favorite saying of my father's). However, it curls nicely into a shortened pixie cut. Oh! And guess what tonight is: the rodeo. Hog-tying, here we come!
Pictures, shazaam!
Glasgow, MT. Apparently Montana has huge problems with meth use. They counter this by making fun billboards.
We went through the dinosaur valley and they had these massive roadside statues. Here, I'm being run down by a T-Rex.
Jessie falls asleep on the road while Craig changes his tire. She was worn out from the morning's events, which included a bout with hypothermia.
Portal to the Montana Vortex!
We don't know if this was supposed to be the Vortex, but it was basically just a house leaned on it's side, a lame tourist trap. We ate it up, of course.
