Mountain Blaquemore

2005-07-31T16:28:00.000-06:00

12 Miles Mt Blaquemore or the more common name MT Blackmore. It was named for a tourist who had the unfortunate inconvenience to perish in her Montana adventure. As usual it the banal: illness. So they named a damn mountain for her. I'm sure she's was a lovely person. She was British. They're all lovely people. My pet peeve is the fact that I'm coming on to 25 years in this state. You'd think they could name one thing for me. It's really not alot to ask. I wouldn't even demand a mountain, even though there are some perfectly good mountains with at this point no name. No, I'll take a hillock or ditch or street or cul de sac.
The starting elevation for the hike is 6,720. The elevation gain is 3,434 feet from the trailhead. Everyone says that it's 10 miles, but my trusty pedometer says 12.57. My feet say 12 miles. Kaleau the dog is of course dog tired.

6 miles This is Bill, Bill and Kay just finished a canoe trip up the Missouri River from the confluence to the Three forks. 1300 miles UPRIVER. Hence the scratches on the canoe. They arrived the same day 200 years hence that Lewis and What's his name arrived.

2005-07-27T12:32:00.000-06:00

4.75 miles I was on the way to the Bob Dylan concert. (Yah!) and Thought that I should take a picture while it was easy. Five minutes later I was walking by a house with the Family of 4 two small children on the front steps about to imprint their marks in the fresh cement. Ah regrets. I then walked by a house raised up about 20 feet. That might elicit a return trip.

4 Miles Lewis and what's his name were here exactly (Three Forks, 30 miles away) 200 years ago. I was going to take a picture of a dugout canoe, but at the Lewis and what's his name show at the Museum of the Rockies this came up. A mini golf course with St Louis and the Three Forks as holes. The rocks on the left are the Rockies. Get it rocks-Rockies. See what they missed. 200 years of progress, landing a man on the moon, the destruction of the Native American culture, World dominance leading to that pinnacle of American culture: Mini Golf. Gads.

13.5 miles Baldy Mountain. Starting elevation 5100 ft ending elevation is 8801. 3700 feet. The metal bar gets a lot of lightning hits. The metal can is for messages. The I can't believe I made it whoo hoo stuff.

They definitely have a place for a Human or monkey. It's attached to a trailer. I think it's a machine to make you dizzy. Heck why don't you just spin in circles?

2005-07-13T20:38:00.000-06:00

5.5 Miles. Ran into a school having a concert in the evening. Either that or it's a secret convention of epileptics. Synchronized epilepsy at that. The young fellow in red and white needs more ritalin.

4 miles
It was strangely frightening. My friend George and I were going to see his radio tower, parked in the lot and lo here they come to the car. They wanted food and were not afraid to go get it. Honking and having a arabesque sense of body space. Maybe my brain was channelling attacks of the dinosars.
Rest assured dear readers, I escaped unscathed. The turkeys, ducks, and chickens however lost their souls to the camera.

4.5 miles. This is the remains of a water pipe from up on basin creek down to the mills at basin. it was made of wood, double lined and had wires wrapped around the wood. the concrete is only on main parts of the pipeline. It was an enourmous undertaking. backbreaking work. Frequently, it failed. Miners are optimists.

4 Miles Madonna in back of High Note Cafe Basin Montana. The cafe is only open for three days a week Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9am-12pm. excellent coffee and food. very eclectic clientele. Note the little kitten figureine. There is 'Health mines" around Basin. Where sick people go down in radon mines to get well. It takes all kinds to make the world spin around.

4 Miles The Robin you don't see is the one in the tree. The flown off one. Digital cameras don't exactly react with lightning speed. You have to get close enough to get a picture and far enough so she won't fly away. She flew away.
It's in an outdoor garage. The light is a motion sensor. We think the eggs are dead/not there. The Mother is vigilant, though

4 Miles. Arrowleaf flowers and clouds. I wanted to take a picture of the thunder and rainclouds in the distance, but a picture doesn't do it justice. One of the things that I particularly like about Montana is that you can see all the weather for 50 miles. You can see the rain comin' and the rain goin' Big Sky country.

2005-06-10T20:46:00.000-06:00

4.5 Miles. I like the little thank you with the little heart. The poppies were nice, but unbloomed. The note was on a tree above the nonpurloined poppies.

2005-06-09T20:42:00.000-06:00

4.5 Miles Ode to a Hat. When your outside every day in all the weather that comes at 'ya, you tend to appreciate the gear that works. This hat does that. It'll stop the rain and hail, shade the eyes and keep the ears warm. It's also breathable. The best thing about it though is that everyone thinks it looks weird. I'm so there.

2005-06-08T20:23:00.000-06:00

5 Miles Farm Implement. I wish that the picture can convey the rube goldberg nature of this device. Whoever farmed with this musta been a brave person to sit on top of that and use that lever to dig rows. One slip or horse getting out of control. (And they seem to do that on a regular basis) and you could get real hurt real fast.

I'm now in Chihuahua which is 2469 miles from Bozeman Copper Canyon Country.
My next milestone is 2490 miles which means the trip is 10% done.
Well, not really, it's ten percent the circumference of the earth. Actual miles on the ground are different. There must be a way to figure out how close it is. Walking the CDT trail from Bozeman certainly didn't help. Some formula for ground type I.E. Mountains Vs level and general addition to roads. Or, I could just route the whole damn thing on a map.

Did the mini loop. The mini loop is down the linear park, up peets hill down banzai across Martel and up to home. The crabapples and cherry trees are blossoming. The baby ducks are swimming. it's a beautiful day. J.D. my dog and Kaluea, a dog we're dogsitting, loved the walk they see creeks and dogs and can sniff to they're hearts content. The air is crystal clear and the Hyalites and Tobacco roots are snowcovered and stand brilliantly against the blue sky
