This is for those who have been wondering how I am set up! It's not real spacious, but I can pack away everything to the front of the bus and cook, plus sleep comfortably!

Hello again everyone! Still here in MT at my friends ranch, its just outside of the lewis and clark national forest. Done some quadding in the mountains, mountain biking, cookin out, partying in town, learning about ranch life, settin up fences, takin care of the animals and stuff, been a real good time so far!

Biking up here at altitude is tough, I think we are at 6,000 feet. Got the bike up to 33mph on some rough decent today, was one awesome ride! Gonna go ride another route tomorrow!

Got a nick name for the van finally! I am calling it NASA, cause this damn thing looks like a shuttle!

what kind of stickers Jim!

had a real awesome bike ride today! Rode up a place in back o f the ranch called red hill, took me 54 minutes to get to the top, 8 minutes to make it al the way back down, was a damn fast ride! My bike met its limits at 36mph, the hits were so big over the rocks and whoops that t would use all the rear travel and start getting squirrely. I definitely want a bigger bike now! Filmed the whole thing but sill have to wait to edit it cause of this computer. I'll be off to glacier national park sometime tomorrow.

NASA stickers of course Kyle....

In a previous life when I could afford hobbies I used to launch high power rockets.
Sometimes I'd go down to the Cape to watch really BIG rockets.
And I'm sure I have a bunch of stickers and stuff packed away (somewhere)

I went through glacier national park today, that place is absolutely beautiful!

My bus developed a fuel leak recently, just when I think things are going good, more surprises, the fun never stops! Looks like it is coming from the driver side expansion tank. Both hoses were wet, and it looks like it was running down, dripping off of the fuel tank by the frame rail as well.

I'll have to burn through most of my gas driving to the next spot, and then hopefully drop the expansion tank and see if the hoses & seals are bad. All the parts stores are closed right now so it's gonna have to wait til tomorrow!

I'll get pics of that, and my time at the ranch uploaded later.
