This was by far the scariest plane ride I have ever had because not only was I flying in adverse weather conditions on a prop plane to the middle of nowhere (Missoula, MT) I was sitting next to a gay hair dresser from L.A. who desperately wanted to make me over...true story.

This is the view from the bridge we walked over every day to get to training.

This Squirrel would seriously sit outside my window every morning and let me photograph him. After about a week of this, I told him I was feeling a bit creepy about our unusual relationship and he ran away, never again to return to my window...also a true story

This is for you people who don't believe my story...

Some of the most genuinely kind people I have ever metPerry Thurman (probably my top 10 favorite people of all-time) was my roomate during the training in Montana, and yes that's Dori from
"Finding Nemo" clutched in his arms...he's from Minnesota.

We took a little 180 mile detour on our way to Napa, CA so we could drive through Yellowstone. I am wearing a pair of avaiators that I purchased at Super Walmart for $4.65 (Aren't you proud mom?)

This was actually a bit frightening because these buffalo stormed the roads and started ramming cars.
