By way of introduction, my wife Jeanne is from Butte, Montana where we recently visited on vacation. Just by coincidence, our vacation fell on the weekend of the fourth annual “Evel Knievel Days” which features, among other things, a stuntman show by Spanky Spangler, a long-time Evel friend and admirer. This is the video of his crash into two city buses at 70 mph. Don’t ask why, just enjoy the action.

If you missed the annual Geist Fireworks this year or had a less-than-perfect view, here is a replay of the grand finale as taken from a pontoon just north of the island off of Admirals Sound where they were shot from. Thanks to the Geist Lake Coalition for organizing and to the Geist Marina for the boat.

Adam Goldstein with ASG Indy is at the Indianapolis 500 where Indy cars run on Ethanol fuel. For people worried that a flex fuel vehicle burning ethanol will somehow lessen the performance of their car or truck, the proof is on the track!

Runners stay warm by dancing to the music prior to the Geist 5K.

After we left the 5K race start, our small press crew with Geist Jeweler’s Dennis Morton headed over to the finish line to watch the runners come in.

High winds in the early morning of May 17th created problems for event organizers trying to set up the start line structure. Once the start line was assembled, we noticed that it was not level on top. We took the structure down and realized that one of the “L” beams was upside down.
