YOU ALL MIGHT FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT CLARK AND I GOT UP THIS MORNING AT 5:30 A.M. AND WERE ON THE ROAD SHORTLY AFTER 6:00 A.M. IT WAS QUITE BRISK, WITH THE TEMPS AROUND 40*, SO WE DRESSED WARMLY TO RIDE. WE FOUND THE BEARTOOTH THAT CLARK WAS TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY, BUT BOY WAS IT COLD UP THERE.
CLARK COULDN'T DECIDE WHERE HE WANTED TO GO, SO WE STARTED OUT IN WYOMING, THEN RODE TO MONTANA, THEN BACK TO WYOMING, THEN BACK TO MONTANA. HE FINALLY DECIDED TO STAY IN MONTANA, AND WE SET UP CAMP TONIGHT IN THREE FORKS.
AFTER LEAVING THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, WHERE WE BOTH ABOUT FROZE TO DEATH, WE HEADED WEST INTO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CHARGED ME $20 TO RIDE THROUGH THE PARK AND FIGHT ALL THAT TRAFFIC, BUT CLARK INSISTED I CONTINUED ON OUR ADVENTURE.
WE ARRIVED IN BOZEMAN, MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON, AND TRIED TO GET A ROOM AT OUR MOTEL. THEY INSISTED WE PAY FOR OUR ROOM, WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS QUITE RUDE. AFTER ALL, IT WAS OUR MOTEL.
NO PROBLEM......WHEN YOU'RE AS FAMOUS AS WE ARE, YOU HAVE OTHER CHOICES. WE JUST STAYED AT ANOTHER OF OUR MOTELS IN THREE FORKS, MONTANA. THEY ACTUALLY HAD 3 FORKS ON THE TABLE WHEN WE CHOWED DOWN TONIGHT. NOT REALLY.....IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REAL REASON THE TOWN IS CALLED THREE FORKS, YOU'LL HAVE TO LOOK IT UP. I'M RUNNING A TIGHT SCHEDULE AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU. IT'S A FULL TIME JOB JUST KEEPING CLARK ON TRACK. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE, I POINT IN THE DIRECTION WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING, AND CLARK IS ALWAYS LOOKING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, WE MAY END UP IN IDAHO IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL. STAY TUNED TO SEE IF I CAN KEEP CLARK ON COURSE.
TALK TO YOU TOMORROW NIGHT......SAME PLACE......SAME TIME...."IF" I CAN WORK IT INTO MY BUSY SCHEDULE.
