Headed for Montana today. I was on the road early enough to see a beautiful sunrise!!
A college friend and her husband lives near Bozeman, so I am going to stay there a couple of days to enjoy some time with her. They were both fellow music majors with me.
I noticed something interesting. Yesterday, perched on a hill overlooking the highway exit for the Wyoming Welcome Center was my first sighting of a buffalo!! Haha it was just a sculpture!! In the next few days I saw many various sculptures randomly put on hilltops, so I guess that it a thing they like to do in the great northwest!
Supposedly it is a cell phone tower camoflauge. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/28546
Again today there was a traffic delay. I could see billowing smoke miles ahead and after creeping along for about an hour, finally got close enough to see it was a burning 18-wheeler–no idea what happened. You know, it’s convenient having a camper along! When there’s stoppages, you can hop back there and use the toilet or get a drink!
Montana really is BIG SKY country! I saw my first glimpses of snow on the mountains surrounding Bozeman.
I will be staying 2 nights at the Bozeman Hot Springs Campground. http://www.bozemanhotsprings.co/bozeman-campground/ A former KOA; campers have access to the Hot Springs next door.
