day 02 - Sept. 17, 2006 (Sunday)



so we started out second day in Great Falls, Montana. we had a lot planned for this day, only to find that our planning was a wee bit off. we didn't take into consideration actual driving time + weather conditions + time spent on random stuff.

it also didn't help that our alarm clock at the hotel we stayed at (Super 8 Motel) broke. but it turned out to be a great day - and ended kinda scary like.

episode 05 : casinos - always a good addition



yes, they really did have casinos everywhere. not kidding - had we spent more time in Great Falls, Montana i woulda spent it capturing all the various combinations of businesses and casinos. it was pretty darn funny - although when we actually checked it out it was basically a machine or two of video poker or such. but they called it a 'casino' thus they had so many all around.

episode 06 : destination yellowstone



so from Great Falls, Montana to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming is about 270 miles - so needless to say we were very goofy killing time. here's a bit of what transpired on that drive. and yes - we really are that childish.

episode 07 : omg what's that smell



so this was our first official stop in Yellowstone National Park - we entered from the North Entrance off Gardiner, Montana. basically we decided to do the loop so our first stop was the Mammoth Hot Springs - which really smells due to the sulfer. i have more footage then shown - but didn't want to bore people with it.

episode 08 : no title



this episode doesn't have a title cause i don't wanna give it alway - it's very short. it's basically only :26 seconds. the actual footage was 4-5 min. long, but figured people didn't wanna see all that, and (i thought) it was funnier this way. fyi - this was our second stop in Yellowstone National Park - if you haven't guessed already.

episode 09 : artist point



so nothing really funny about this video - it's just a shot of Artist Point. it was amazing. pawan (who has been to Yellowstone before) stated we had to check out Artist Point - he didn't say why, he didn't want to give it alway. we said sure - it's along the way and we drove. when we got there and finally got to see it, it was breath taking.

the video really doesn't do it justice. if you ever get a chance check out Artist Point as well as the drive to Montana. it's beautiful country.

episode 10 : boo boo and more



so after checkinng out Artist Ponit we kept on driving - here are a compilation of some nature shots. not too many, but these i found to be our highlight. fyi - these animals are just amazing to look at in person, it makes you humble and scared as you know you're the visitor to their home and if they want they can literally KILLLLL YOU!

*no animals / people were harmed during the filming of this episode.

episode 11 : the longest drive



so we tried to take US 212 to get back onto I-90, but nature had other ideas. we really were freaking out during this point. we really didn't know what the shit we were gonna do... it was a very very good thing that we had a laptop and Microsoft's Streets and Trips - it's a GPS software which comes with a GPS tracking device to tell you where you're at and where all the various things are.... such as a town that's only 3 blocks long in the middle of nowhere.
