That girl and I drove down to meet my daughter and her
friend Jo in the Gallatin Valley.  My
daughter is relocating to San Francisco after a few years in New York
City.  She is swinging up through Montana
on her drive across the U.S.  The four of
us had a dinner together and overnighted at the Gallatin River Lodge.  The lodge is only sixteen years old and is
very secluded.  Our dinner was
excellent!  I really like the lodge with
the notable exception of the screen door.
The door is an over-achiever.  If you want to exit, you pretty much need to
kick its ass before you can squeeze through. 
I think the screen door may be the scantily clad first cousin to a bank
vault door.  The door is both hard to
push open (pushing around a refrigerator hard) and quick to close down on you; something akin to a giant clam.
For some reason, the door has automatic closers on
both the bottom and the top.  I have
posted a picture of the door.   I captured the image with my
twice-as-smarter-than-me-phone.  I locked
the door open for safety while taking the photograph.  If I manage to squeeze back out the door along
with my belongings when I leave later today, I will continue posting
blogs.  If not, please send someone with
the jaws-of-life to room 202.
