Personally, I was torn between being sad about his being gone for so long and being excited about the new experiences he will have over the next five months.
Travel today was much prettier than yesterday.....the sun was shining and the skies were clear.
Flathead Lake is so pretty.......These photos were taken from 'The Docks' in Lakeside.....
This shot is from Sommers....the small town north of Lakeside:
North of the Lake, just before you come to Kalispell:
North of Kalispell:
Now we come to the south side of 'the Passes'. There are 3 passes to take you through the mountains. I took these photos to show how much snow has accumulated on the mountains.
Here is another photo of the snow piled up on the side of the road......taking the picture while driving does not really show the height.....
This is a mountain side of which I have several photos - at different times of the year. This is the first where the ground is completely covered in snow.
See that winding road? That is the road through the passes.....it is very twisty - many corners are almost a 90 degree turn. You soon learn that the speed signs of 25 mph are not just a suggestion.
Finally, a place to pull over where we could see far enough down the road to cross it safely in order to take a 'perspective' photo:
This final photo was taken in a small town north of Fort McLeod...I forget which one. I thought this was kind of strange - how can you have a whole museum about ONE type of horse?
I started driving after this so took no more photos.
Jim was starting to feel pretty sick.
