HIGHWAY GUYS

Steve and Peter travel the roads of the U.S. in an RV (called The Beast). Steve is retired and disabled (mobility impaired) and Peter is his service dog. They started their adventure on September 11th ,2003. Home base currently is Los Angeles, California. On the road, they live in a 1993, 28 foot, Allegro Bay class A motor home. Their goal is just to enjoy the thrill of travel and exploration for as long as the Beast and their health allow.

070805 - Billings, MT


Billings, Montana

Peter’s Veterinarian – Dr. John Winter comes from Billings, so Peter wanted to stop here so he would have something to talk to Dr. John about on his next visit

We decided to go to the movies today … The Bourne Ultimatum. While sitting in the lobby, a young girl sat nearby and started to talk to us. She was candid about her recent brain surgery which stopped her from having seizures and she was wearing a T-shirt from the Special Olympics.
Her facial expressions were asymmetrical and one hand showed signs of slightly deformed fingers. She spoke well and had a kind and friendly manner. She mentioned that she had recently been bitten in the leg by a neighborhood dog and had become fearful of all dogs. When Peter heard that, he was determined to repair the good name of dogs. I allowed her to pet him, and then gave her a cookie to offer to him. In a matter of moments, Peter had a new friend.

Oh yes, I did enjoy the movie.
