I cannot believe there is less than one week left for my visit. The snow continues to fall at home in D.C. and bury the city, but the work experience here continues. On Monday February 8th we went to the Winter Food Fair at MSU in Bozeman. I was interested in the different types of people producing different types of foods, such as salsa, grassfed beef, and “cheese” made from oats. Kathleen Merrigan, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, was going to come talk to farmers about different things as a representative of the USDA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            The general rhythm of things continues but yesterday the 10th, while Jenny and the boys were in town, Mark and I went out to their cabin at Harrison Lake where we went to visits a few Native American sites. We saw a few tipi rings and a small buffalo jump. The view from atop the jump was spectacular. We saw in the distance the mountains, in-between were rolling hills and in the foreground, wheat fields. The wind was very strong so we found a small valley and set up a target. I took a few shots. It was my fist time shooting a gun (220 Magnum), the experience was fun, exciting and intense. The experiences here continue to throw themselves at me and with each one I learn more. This trip could not have been more educational.
