It’s my turn to say farewell to our compadre Gary. Good bye, my new friend! I will never forget pulling into Ohio and singing hair rock tunes together or having my last cigarette before quitting, and, of course, all your sweet jokes smothered with that great giggle we have all learned to love. Seeing you go was like the end of Old Yeller, I actually got a little teary eyed. (Editor’s Note: Except we didn’t shoot Gary in the end.) Thanks for all the good times and safe driving my friend! I wish you health, wealth and love for a thousand years.

Though we are one man down, we still have the McKinney blood flowing to keep the verve in the last days of the aha moment tour. Lets go, Glenn!

The days spent in Billings, MT, have been sponsored by the words; irons, D.I.Y., cooking and adventure. Ignoring the giant indoor water park next door to the hotel, we have managed to have tons of fun with creative, yet silly, cooking methods or going out to enjoy the outdoors that Billings has to offer.

As for aha moments, the silver loaf looked like a piece of fine art today. We were surrounded by some pretty sweet sculptures! As I looked back at the aha moment Airstream nestled in with all the art work outside the Yellowstone Art Museum, I knew this was the perfect site to collect more moments in Montana. After a couple of days getting the feel for the town, it was easy to set up our mobile studio and meet more of the local folk. Being at the museum helped draw in the crowds - they came in from the street and even the bushes to share their aha moments!

Billings you have a lot of interesting and fun people here, if you missed us today come on out tomorrow and check out our designer studio and share your stories with us! Check some of your local go-getters in Billings!

Meet Deb Brugman:
Every time I take a picture I have an aha moment. When I’m take a picture for someone, I realize that I’m capturing a moment in time for them that won’t ever happen again.




Meet Dan Austin:
When I realized I couldn’t afford my traveling lifestyle, I started Austin-Lehman Adventures to continue to fund my journeys and bring along others on the fun. We are now one of the best tour and safari companies in world!



Meet Jophiel and Serena:
After having a child, we wanted to search for green friendly companies. So we developed Green Directory Montana, which is a listing of green businesses across this great state!




Goodbye, Gary. Hello, Billings!
