Day Four

Monday morning I left the Praxel's and drove the five gorgeous hours to Big Fork, Montana where I am staying in some staff housing at Flathead Lake Lodge owned by the Averill family. I am staying in a dorm/boat house type of building with my college buddy Mark. There is a kayak downstairs which I plan to steal soon and spend the remainder of the morning on, after a short bike ride to the gas station to get some caffeine of course. I think God spends his free time in Montana.

The lesson of the Billy Goat: To all of Montana you may just be billy goat eating trash on the side of the road. But to a Southern Californian you are the most fascinating of God's creatures and I will "bah" at you until you pay attention to me so I can take your photo. Value is relative.
