We'll try not to bore you with all of the details, but we will try to give you some insight into just how each of our days went and all that was involved. As you can see above, we're working our way through the line to get checked in for the weekend. They also give you a map of the town, the keys to your room and instruction on where to meet everyone and when. But enough of this picture, there are more!

So how about a brief summary of how we got to this point? Our flight was scheduled to leave Port Columbus at 9:30AM Saturday morning, you know the rules, arrive two hours early. So we're at the airport at 7:30, after waking at 6:00AM! We had a slight delay in Columbus, but the flight went well, and we ended up in our connector city Minneapolis around 10:30 Central Time. Left there and headed to Billings, where we arrived at 1:00PM Mountain Time. Due to Marlboro not able to get everyone into Bozeman Airport, we now have an hour and a half ride out to the ranch. No big deal, but we didn't get going until around 3:00PM Mountain Time! But once we started out towards the ranch, things got better...you could smoke on the specially outfitted buses! So the ride wasn't near as long as it felt, plus they fed us while we rode! So finally we reach the ranch and we need to check in and get all our keys and maps and stuff. By now, when the above picture was taken, it is near 5:30PM Mountain Time.
