After several days on the road and almost a week visiting good friends, Bird and I arrived in Missoula to find that the room we had rented out for the summer (and put all of our belongings we couldn't live without for 2 months in) had been re-rented out from under us! Nothing like realizing you are homeless after 9 hours on the road! Horrah!
Long story short: the college kid we were renting from is a piece of crapola, and (we think) gave our room away to a freind of a friend. He moved our stuff out to the garage and said "sorry, I didn't know you were taking the room." Um...what? We said we were taking it, we talked to your roomate, we moved our stuff in (as per his okay), and said we'd be moving in on the first. What's not to know?
Luckily, we found a place with 2 rooms (bonus!) that is downtown right around the corner from my favorite burrito place (bonus!) and in walk/biking distance from everywhere we want to go (bonus!). The new place is not well kept (dirty hippies), but we basically have the upstairs (w/ a half bath) to ourselves, so we can keep our area clean.
So far, we've gotten setteled, watch Bird's tennis teammates compete (and win all their games), walked a lot, biked a lot, and eaten a ton. Good times. Tomorrow morning, we hike the M! YAY!.
So, that's the update on me!

That is simply unbelievable. You should sue! Or maybe fishfrog and I will drive out and leave a flaming bag of dog doo outside their door. Just say the word... we'll do it.
wow! an eventful trip so far! sounds like in the end the whole apartment ordeal turned out for the better though. i mean, there's a lot of bonuses there! i second the notion of leaving doo doo (preferably flaming doo doo) on that dude's doorstep. though, i suppose there are some innocent souls staying there that probably have no idea that they took your apartment. ah well, what can ya do? i hope the rest of your trip is super-awesome! i wish i could be up there too. it sounds like fun. come back to STL safely!!!
