Today I needed to get a prescription filled, so I decided to head to Big Sky Montana and their clinic. Big Sky is a very fancy ski resort town. See pictures. I drove all the way to the top of Big Sky and found that I could go no further on the road because it ended at a very fancy gated community. My impression of Big Sky is that it looks very expensive to own a home there and probably very expensive to own a condo or rent there. I also got the impression that the town was created in a hap hazard manner. The way the houses and such looked to me as if they were just placed where anyone set a claim to the land. Not unlike a gold mining town in the past. The streets and such were not even laid out in any pattern and the houses were just dropped anywhere and everywhere. There is a ton of money in the area, especially in the winter for skiing. Also there is a very nice golf course designed by Arnold Palmer in the area, but I did not go see it as it would have cost me money to get into the area probably.
After filling my prescription I headed for Bozeman to do some antiquing and to get lunch. The antique places I stopped at had quite a few items but nothing struck me as wanting to buy and haul home. I also looked into the book store and did not find anything I have not read yet, so I headed for lunch at Panda Express. After lunch I headed back down to West Yellowstone, but I decided to stop and take a small hike on a trail I see everything I drive along the Gallatin River. See pictures below. The hike was very pleasant and the temperature was around 70 degrees. I like to hike when the weather is cool. I will be back at that spot next week and I plan on hiking in about 5 miles. So I hope to get in a 10 mile hike into the back country of Yellowstone.
Well tomorrow is my Monday and I hear the business has been picking up a little. We go a delivery today and tomorrow Pepsi delivers. So it will probably be a long interesting day. Stay well all my readers and be kind.
