We have landed in a park by Rock Creek in Clinton. It is a step back in time. We have no TV at all. Our satellite won't work in spite of the fact I asked for an open spot so we could use it. No cable and no local stations. We are only about 20 miles from Missoula. This will be one long week. We called for our mail to be sent here so we have to stay. We will be spending most days in Missoula, that's for sure. As much as we fell in love with the Montana we went through last year, we think this is even more beautiful. We went through 4 mountain ranges today and at one point were looking right at the Bitter Root Mountains. As far as we can tell we are in the Rockies here. These Rockies are many, many years older than the ones we were used to in Colorado, so they are much, much prettier. As we were zooming down the road I took a few pictures out of the windows. We have a roadmap of bug carcuses on everything. If you see spots, overlook them! It does not matter what pictures I post or what words I use, absolutely nothing on earth describes the beauty of this state. It is just awe inspiring.
Near Anaconda, MT
Behind the houses is a strip copper mine in Butte, MT
These rock spires were all along the Yellowstone River in a beautiful canyon
the name of which I do not know. Sorry.
Maybe when I get over the shock of spending a week at an old stage stop, that's not a joke, I will take some pictures here. Maybe there is something in Missoula worthy of a blog. We've never been there so we have no idea. This would be perfect if we were fly fishermen, but neither of us can claim that hobby. Somebody email me what's happening in the world this next week! We are on track to spend some time in Glacier National Park within a week or so.
