Cross Country 4.2

Hanging out in Belgrade (Days 278=279)

We pulled into Belgrade just after 3:30 Friday with temps in the 50's and were treated to a good dinner on the grill. It was nice to catch up with Candy and Rick while we ate and played cards (Candy tromped all others).



Rick continued the B&B treatment with a wonderful waffle breakfast trimmed out with fruit and juices.



Howie rested in an spot flanked with fragrant lilacs.




Candy just celebrated a birthday and she wanted to knock off one of her "bucket list" items while we were here. So Rick signed everyone up for a zipline "Adventure" 25 miles south of Belgrade and just north of Big Sky. Judy's back was acting up so she took a pass and drove up to Big Sky while we zipped. Harris, Rick and Candy equipped themselves (with some guidance) and posed for the "in case something happens" snapshot while waiting for the remaining two others to prep.




There were three zip lines, a short (intro) one, a long 880' line, and the medium length dramatic last one.




Having only five rather than fifteen people helped us feel special while things moved along rather quickly.




Lo and behold we were done in just over an hour rather than the usual 2 hours. It was worth doing and the rush of air and the zinging line left no doubt that you did participate in an adventure.

And Harris, Candy, and Rick lived to tell about it...




We were able to make it back to Belgrade in time for the start of the Twins Mariners game and Harris and Rick enjoyed watching the Twins smack the Mariners around with the final score of 10 ZIP (pun intended). Fortunately for Judy and Candy, they went off to check out Bozeman.
