it is my project tonite to make roadtrip mixtapes because friday i head west for my second montana summer. my friend Emma is coming along for the drive, and because she has never seen montana or the rocky mountains (and i always want my favorite people to see my favorite places), we have decided to stretch the not-too-long drive to glacier national park into a beautiful adventure. here begins Emma's education of The West:
- goodbye Minneapolis
- i hear rumors of the world's largest buffalo in Jamestown, North Dakota and i feel that any "world's largest" roadside spectacle is worth the stretch break
- here we camp at teddy roosevelt national park in the north dakota badlands and celebrate MAY DAY.
- here we couchsurf a few days - if the folk of Missoula, MT will toss us a futon.
- East Glacier Park, Montana, where Emma catches the Empire Builder train back to MPLS and where i check in with HR for my summer job in Glacier National Park!
- Swiftcurrent, Glacier National Park. this is the eventual destination, where i will live until september. hopefully emma and i can get into the park and onto a mountain, but i fear snow may keep us out.
