Everything is scenic as hell!!!
Today we planed to taste a little bit of life as a cowboys. What else could be more cowboy than a horse back ride? Probably not much. After short time spent in West Yellowstone we headed to the Diamond P ranch just short car ride from the West. First it looked like it will not be much of a ride because it was in middle of nothing. After meeting our horse companions and leaning their names ( mine was Bulls Eye)we went across freeway to the mountains. It was a very beautiful ride, everybody was enjoying it and it was pretty around us. Sometimes Bulls Eye has to do his things, so Em who was behind me had a good view on everything what was happening. Later she told us that she saw insides of Bulls Eye and it looked like a brain. Interesting. Horses were definitely working hard because we gained 700 feet elevation on our almost three hours long ride, but awesome ride. I liked it a lot and we could see Idaho and mountain ranges all around us. It was little bit of smokey but it did not limited our experience.

Our Dumbass Car - an excerpt from Emily's Journal
Once upon a time their was a couple of happy Morons. They needed a way to get from place to place faster than walking. One sunny day the Morons, along with Dad, went to Sparkles Used Auto. They walked around looking at all the shiny used cars.
An old man came out to ask which of the cars they wanted to test drive. After a few seconds of thought, the Morons chose a care based purely on looks, and hardly at all on function. They pointed at the Green Kia Sportage and asked to drive it- without prior knowledge of the make, or prior want for the model.
Daddy moron pushed every button and pulled every lever whild Mrs. Moron sped down the freeway. the heat didnt really work- but it was hot out, so what does that matter? and the windows were very slow going up and down, and sometimes got stuck.
without thinking, reason, or logic on Mr and Mrs Morons side, they bought the car without looking at any other cars, or researching their purchase.
Later, Mr and Mrs moron became experts at timing which days they should take the car to the shop to get it fixed. Every other month they paid the mechanic a visit, and a check to add to his children's college fund.
Mr. and Mrs Moron left their small town to explore, and spread the wealth, as well as the frustrations the car created. The morons visited many mechanics throught Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming only to find, none of them could fix the car.
Now, the Morons have quite a predicament on their hands. They live in the mountains, far from home, and other people, cities and cars. Their dumb-ass car doesn't go up hill. What are the Morons to do?
Here's the kicker: Roman's Dad is an expert mechanic..... but he lives in Slovakia...
