[Az-Geocaching] Big Sky

[RopingThe Wind]

I too want to wish Brian and Angie and the youngin' all the best on their 
move up to Billings, Montana.  Brian broke the news to me on a short cache 
hike a few days ago.

I have visited Billings on a couple of occasions for an annual event I used 
to attend in late July up there. It is some really BEAUTIFUL country. I 
could probably live there. But, I think I would prefer the winters down 
here. Hey, maybe I can become a snowbird!!!!!!! :) A couple of years ago, on 
our last visit to Billings, we took the highway SW out of Billings thru Red 
Lodge and up over the divide into Yellowstone. I felt like I was in the Alps 
up there! The highway goes over 10,000' and there was a small lake with ice 
on it and patches of snow. Very beautiful country. I would love to return 
again. Billings is a small city of sorts. Very friendly people there.

I met Brian thru Geocaching and I have enjoyed going out on caching trips 
with him. He was one of the few that could actually keep up with me on a 
long hike! :) LOL hehehe We have cached together many times and I enjoyed 
the friendship. Geocaching will not quite be the same without TeamAI out 
there grabbing first finds at 0 dark 30 in the mornings. :)  On the other 
hand, maybe I can start picking up a few more first finds now! :)  I all but 
gave up on going for first finds since Brian was hogging them all!!! LOL 
hehehe  :)  Just when I thought I would actually have a shot at one, there 
it was... 'BRIAN/teamAI on the first page of the logbook! He just hadnt 
gotten home yet to log it.  :) :) :)

Anyways, look forward to a few more cache hikes with ya' Brian before you 
leave and perhaps we will visit you up there one summer when I am in 
Billings again!
