Nick Sharp speaking, hello world. We are in Lima, Montana, soon to arrive in Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming. We will meet Meghan, Hoo Ras undercover lover, and David some weirdo that thinks he fly.............boy. It will be a family adventure. The last section was solid. We left Leadore with Teddy bear and Dads Grin, on very full stomachs, and went straight up a mountain. We have been acclimating very nicely to these up and downs, down and outs. We floated around numerous large open ridges, very Marsish. On one occasion ascending a slope we heard plane noises, not a commercial jet. We look over and eye level is a F-16 jet fighter plane cruising past us, sideways, through a canyon, very close, we could pretty much see the pilots name tag. The rest of the day I sung Take My Breath Away, by Berlin made popular by the Paramount release Top Gun in the 1980's. I also attempted a solar compass but that didnt really pan out. On another occasion Alex requested a ride from two gentlemen at a lake to cut off a couple miles. Zach the younger gave us a pound of Elk meat he killed, we ate that. We have been considering hunting out here. Apparently sage grouse, a big bird, you can run up and beat with a stick. I dont know if we should but we hear its tasty, and September first is hunting season. ?. What do you think could you kill an animal? Anyway the guys gave us a ride, funny guys. We showed them a a cave where buffalos had fallen. They showed us where to look for Indian artifacts like arrowheads. We saw a herd of antelope, and a large coyote. On another occasion we saw two moose on a date, eating branches, if only it was that easy for us humans. We were about a 100 feet away it nwas fine they were not trying to start anything. We ended up cutting out through soem flatlands, cow country to the high way at the end. Cows were in abundance and kind of scared me, in Lima ALex read about how there have been Cows killing people the last few years in a mailicious manner. We climbed a solar powered electric fence to get away from them. Ironic that it is an energy efficient method for the containment of one of the most energy intensive industries. Horses also backed us down into a corner knowing we were aliens. Now we are back to Fox news. Glenn Beck sucks, but hey MSNBC does need to get some hotter female newscasters if they want to be taken seriously. Anywho we'll talk to you later, bye.
