What an absolutely gorgeous drive it is through Montana. It has to be the most breathtaking scenery I have ever driven through, and I have gone through our own Rockies many times on our side of the border. The road is a wonderful, non-stressful twinned highway, with wondrous views, amazing foothill ranching areas and beautiful blue waters. I commented to my dad that I now understood why in novels they always set it in a Montana Ranch, the area in the foothills held some of the most beautiful ranchland I have ever beheld in my life!
We hauled ourselves 1383 KM today, which was 14 hours on the road, 6:30 am till 8:30 pm. The kids were absolutely wonderful, I can’t believe they had so much fun reading, watching outside, and then enjoying some new videos that I bought for them Fourteen hours! I am so proud of my little superkids! I never would have expected that we could jsut keep driving and driving and driving till us adults were too tired to go on.
So we are in Twin Falls at a really lovely Best Western, I am going to take the kids swimming tomorrow morning, enjoy our free hot breakfast, then head out to what looked like the most spectacular scenie site ever. I am afraid of heights, but the view from this place…well, we will backtrack outta town for a few miles (yep, talking like the locals now, in miles) and I will post pics tomorrow if I can. The wireless here SUCKS and I am hoping after 10 attempts to get my post up, it will go!
Some pics from the drive, all scenery taken while in the car.
