Of course, we're having lunch etc with extended family from church tomorrow. |

Former Montana resident here. I lived in Missoula for a few years not too long ago. Spent some time studying at the U of MT and a lot of time loving the mountains!
During that time there was nothing better, in my opinion, than hiking up into the Bitterroots from any number of the trailheads in the Bitterroot Valley. Purely wonderful memories of Montana I'll always have. And should I choose to make a permanent home in the Lower 48, either down in the Bitterroot Valley towards Hamilton or up near Flathead Lake would be near the top of my list!
Adios, God Bless

Reps: 80,901 (power: 93) | | That's a gorgeous pic, and even though there's not a lot in it, it still says a lot about eastern Montana. Wow... I can totally appreciate every centimeter of that and i'm longing to be out there right now! Normally I love the mountains, being near the ocean right now, temporarily but for awhile, is almost draining the life out of me.... but I have relatives with quite a farm in central South Dakota, which in many ways isn't too much different from eastern Montana, and I recall many nights just sitting out with a beer at the end of the work day looking out over the fields and feeling so at peace. Many scenes around were just like what's in your picture. Life's funny sometimes and it's interesting how a simple pic like above, a pic that might mean almost nothing to many people, can really get a mind working. Thanks for posting it!
God Bless!

Reps: 2,169 (power: 9) | | | I'm glad you enjoyed the picture. Growing up I lived in South Dakota and Montana. Western Dakota is a lot like Eastern Montana.
Have you ever read Kathleen Norris' book "Dakota:A Spiritual Geography"? It explains a lot of it rather well.

Rifle season for antelope starts next Sunday. I suppose I should get my .06 out and make sure it is sighted in.

Welcome to Montana. I'm sure you are enjoying the great Northwest as far as Montana is concerned.
