Cycling Kangaroo - Bozeman, Montana

Bozeman, Montana

Way back in 1981 I lived in Bozeman, Montana for year. For a person who had lived her who life in Sydney, Bozeman was a revelation. Interestingly, everyone was very friendly, but only superficially so. It was easier to make superficial friends here, but harder to make real friends.

Bozeman was very dry - this made the cold very bearable. As a transplanted Aussie, I felt that once it was cold, it was cold, There were no "degrees" of cold. -40C (F) felt the same to me as -1C. This was not the same for natives who could tell the difference....
