Big Sky – Day of Rest

Update from several days ago.

Saturday, June 2, 2018

Today was supposed to be a day to relax and take in the quite beauty of Big Sky.  We found the local laundromat that was located very close to the Adler’s home, but according to locals it has been closed for 1-1/2 years.  The owners had wanted to serve alcohol and cleaning services at the same time and because their liquor license was held up, they couldn’t operate solely as a laundromat.  So, to make a long story short, we had to drive an hour back to Bozeman in order to do our laundry.  At least the drive was just as beautiful today as it was yesterday.

After the laundromat we had a nice lunch at a place called Toro Urban Cantina in Bozeman.   We each had a fried shrimp avocado taco and shared a watermelon salad with jicama, mint, coriander and pickled radish.  Very tasty. Afterwards, we drove an hour back to Big Sky.

Upon our return to Big Sky we drove up to see the Big Sky ski area.  The mountains were beautiful, but the resort was totally dead.  This is definitely a winter-oriented area.  Afterwards, we took a walk on a trail that is basically now part of a new housing development around the corner from the Adler’s.  Not very exciting, but at least we got out of the car for a bit.

We grabbed a quick dinner at Moe’s Barbecue, the only restaurant we could find open in the area.  The rest of the evening will be spent plotting our out route for tomorrow through the Northern part of Yellowstone and putting away all of our clean clothing.  It was nice having a day where we didn’t have to be anywhere.  Plus, we haven’t had a laundromat experience in over 40 years.
