sledding at logans pass, 2010.
now it's a tradition.

mumsey and sue are visiting from minnesota and the going-to-the-sun road is open!

the last hotel is clean now, after a lovely week of bonfires and rock picking in the St. Mary Valley. our opening crew has disbanded, and i am done scrubbing showers for a while. tonite i start slinging burgers and huckleberry pie.

the hotels we're cleaning have been empty all winter. the rooms are wrecked, my body feels broken in half, it snows or rains every day, there's a mouse in my room, and the food is shit.

i'm psychotically happy to be here.

i'm cleaning hotel rooms in montana after a wildly successful roadtrip. tim and i camped in the badlands in north dakota, drank in dive bars in helena, and hiked in the snow in glacier national park. more pictures later...

we had "lefsa wraps" for dinner, spent the night drinking dollar beers and playing pool badly, spent the morning walking in the hills. i do love wisconsin.

tomorrow i head west. commence sporadic internet.

i'm a little infatuated with the city this week, despite all this rain. to hell with german food : america is delicious. and i love baseball. and i love thrift stores. and i love vegetarian restaurants. and i love biking alongside SUVs. there's just never enough time in minneapolis.

mayday 2010 in powderhorn park. the best possible start to two weeks in minneapolis. i love this city.

hello.

i'm leaving germany tomorrow after a very long winter. heading to the rocky mountains, with some stops on the way. new adventures are a brewin', so i think it's time for a new blog. i'll be posting here now. welcome!
