Further East

We are currently at my cousin Mimi's place about 30 miles up a canyon from Bozeman. Do not trust your GPS in the country as it tried to take us as the crow flies. In our weary from driving state we followed the GPS up a dirt road about 10 miles until we ran into a locked gate and finally figured out that something was amiss. We had been cracking jokes about no plumbing and no mail. Silly us. My cousin had a good laugh as something was watching out for us and we had cell coverage to find out where in the world we were. Back down the dirt road and on our way to this beautiful place. A nasty cold has been following us so we layed low today and will go to Yellowstone tomorrow.

This painting was in a restaurant in Seattle. It reminded Gary of a painting I did that is currently hanging over his desk. I choice this photo from Seattle as we saw so many friends and I did not want to look like I was playing favorites by showing only one of our gracious friends. Every part of this trip has been a different type of adventure so I can not say what has been my favorite. I will say it was wonderful to see so many people in WA.

As much fun as we are having traveling in the car makes the trip seem a lot longer and it seems like we have been gone a long time. We also lost a friend and a few relatives while we are away. Sad news isn't fun from the road. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the departed.

We are looking forward to a new adventure tomorrow and then heading home. We are thinking of renting a motor home in the near future for another adventure.
