Embrace that Big Blue Sky!
We went up, up, up
into the Tobacco Root Mountains yesterday
(west of McAllister, Montana)
and we touched the sky
on the top of the world!
The camera doesn’t do it justice!
The ride up on our ATVs became bumpy and rocky, but it was fun!
Through the trees, across the mountainsides, and up to the top.
We could not have asked for a prettier day.
After weeks of smoke-filled skies, this was a relief!
I was glad I wore a jacket, a scarf and a hat.
The wind came up and it was quite chilly
the higher we went.
Their delightful friends, Mike & Jane Dodson,
were visiting from VA.
Tucked behind, check out Charlie, the Jack Russell.
There were 9 guys –
eight of whom drove the ATVs…
Our “Lucille” is the redhead at the front of the line –
on whom we have a “Ball!”
blue-sky, perfect day’s vista with me!
and didn’t travel to this very top with us…
But here are seven of the troopers
with TazE being babied by Bob!
two who needed to head back down
from Lookout #1.
It was good to see them!
at the mountaintop
before heading back down.
that brought us up to the top.
It’s actually easier going down!
Maybe one of these days,
you can come to Montana
and join us for a ride.
What do you think?
