Beautiful Montana, we really love this state!

 These are some of the views along the road, Hwy 90.  First view of the mountains!   And just  look at that blue ski!!  Should head into Washington tomorrow   

More for Sunday October 7th

if you look close at this pic you will see that darn white stuff along the edge of the road and on the hay bales-thankfully there wasn’t much more.  That was in North Dakota.  Now we are in Montana, beautiful landscape.  Stopped at Theodore Roosevelt’s national park, to see the painted canyon.  Really impressive, pics don’t do it justice. These badlands are decreasing in height by 2to 4 inches a year.  One day it will all be flat grasslands  Came across this large metal sculpture of geese.  Not sure we needed to be reminded about Canada geese!!

Sunday October 7th. 1 mile from the Montana border

driving thru North Dakota—very flat, great farm land, but sure not any ski hills around!!  But lots of little lakes and ponds.  Got one pic of nice colours but otherwise pretty brown.  Temps around 38f or 4c.   Saw a neat iron sculpture along the road -but that pic will have to wait.  Hope to add more later today

This is our home for the next 6 1/2 months.  Drove from Wisconsin into Minnesota today.  Lovely fall foliage, but it drizzled all day so taking pics was not an option.  Cute water tower in Lindstrum Minnesota.  Cool temps, at least no snow, but sure hoping for some sun and warmth.

On the road again!

Left home on Sunday, good traveling so far.  Had a good visit with cousins in Sault Ste. Marie, then this morning (Wednesday) travelled south thru Michigan and into Wisconsin.  Day started out cloudy,  cool,windy and raining.  But later turned sunny and very warm.  At friends near Green Bay WI now. T-storms expected and they keep warning of a tornado!!  Yikes!! When I figure out how to do it, I will include pictures in the next blog—just hope it’s not of tornado damage!
