Hooray! We’ve arrived in East Glacier, Montana. The six hour drive took us through hundreds of miles of pancake-flat farmland, gently rolling hills, bendy rivers, golden yellow prairies, and even a meadow filled with hundreds of buffalo!
Mamma mia, Montana!
Hello from “big sky country,” otherwise known as Montana! We (I) actually managed to successfully grab a photo of the “Welcome to…” sign as we crossed the border. This has been something we haven’t been very good at so far.…
