Red Lodge Montana

21 June 2018

I spent most of today driving 3.5 hours to Billings and getting my rental car serviced. I could have had it swapped instead of the service but it meant moving my wardrobe to another car and remembering to move everything. Last car I swapped I lost my hat and I am also used to driving this Toyota Corolla. Don’t need the stress of changing cars. After the housekeeping I discovered I am 3 hours from Yellowstone National Park so set off in that direction. One hour later I started to get weary and stopped in Red Lodge. Another gem!

I went for a walk down the main street Broadway Avenue and bumped into this dear. I am hoping to see a bear as the locals said they wander around as do Elk.

I had dinner in a new seasonal Italian restaurant Ox Pasture, where the chef owner and his workers are from New York but from Italy. The atmosphere is festive.

Red Lodge have a songwriters festival this weekend and I enjoyed their open Mic night. I filmed a little of Yasha video.

Musician Tom Walter spends half the year in Austin Texas and the other half in Red Lodge Montana.
