Checking out Bozeman, MT


Friday, July 6, 2012 (Days 230=231)

Juneau friends Sue and Dave at their Bozeman home


Thursday was a cloudy, cool, and drizzly day so it didn’t take much convincing to simply hang out around the Lubanski homestead. We decided to head out to Bozeman (all of ten miles away) Friday and drop in on some Juneau friends, the Zimmermans. Harris was Sue’s matron of honor in her wedding to Dave some 27 years ago. We caught up on kids, plans, and some friends. There was a house two doors down that the owner modeled on a Texeco gas station. It’s an attraction, but doesn’t do much for the home values in the area.

Afterwards, we met Rick for lunch and he took us to the Museum of the Rockies where he volunteers. There are awesome dinosaurs displays, a Napoleon traveling exhibit, and a planetarium (where Harris took a little nap). Judy spent time exploring the dinosaurs while Harris spent his time at the Montana history section looking at the old cars, appliances and old time displays.

Candy and Rick were easily talked into taking a short 2 day camping trip in the general direction of Glacier National Park so the vans were packed on Friday. The weather was a perfect high 70’s with a slight breeze in the late afternoon so we ate pizza and drank some wine on the deck.



The old style gas pump was cool


Later Rick and Harris watched the Mariners on TV while Judy and Candy watched Doc Martin in the other room.
