Before heading into Yellowstone we made a detour to visit an 'agent' contact we met in a Haines bar in Alaska - Bond, Jane Bond.
Bond lives in Big Sky, which is both a ski resort and a 'place', betwixt the town of Bozeman to the north and Yellowstone to the south. Surrounded by mountains, houses on the golf course, and some of the most expensive real estate in Montana, (Think Ted Turner, or the West Yellowstone Club), Big Sky could rightly be termed ' a bit swanky'.
And in this setting a real community exists, which we were party to for a few days. This included the weekly live music on the green,
Hawaiian themed parties laid on by Bond.....
(Editor: three women in dresses and holding a knife - doesn't get any scary than that).
Frequent use of the pool, walks over the golf course to one bar or another (Me), spa treatments (Sarah's), all this became our life for a short while. But what happens at the spa, in Choppers Bar, or on the golf course, stays there.
Bond treated us royally, and Sarah got to have some girlie company which she needed. I could only go to the brew pub, Lone Peak Brewery.
We were sad to leave Bond; Jane Bond.
