Eight weeks after breaking my fibula, I flew out to Montana for the week. This was not the trip Melissa and I had planned. This trip was supposed to be another trip through the Bob Wilderness, but Melissa wouldn't hear of me canceling my visit. Instead, we kept the ticket and I flew out for a modified Montana visit, full of mini-Montana adventures! Melissa had a packed schedule for us: Lots of home-cooked elk and bear meats, Ringing Rocks, Virginia City Follies, nails did, morel mushroom hunting, and a James Beard-nominated bakery and shopping trip in Bozeman. She shared her home, her family, and love for Montana life on her family's ranch. It is always a fantastic time in Bozeman, this being the 12th year anniversary of my first trip out there.
