Big Horn Canyon

Today was a great day. Steven and I travelled around Montana to Big Horn Canyon (see blog picture), the Medicine Wheel in Big Horn National Forest, and on to Yellowtail Dam. We were able to see more animals...including the Big Horn Sheep (see picture of the day). Well to round out the trip, Steven turned on the GPS to make the three hour trip back home. We ended up on a gravel road and all of the sudden signs started popping up saying "road for tribe members only." Well....come to find out, the GPS had taken us down an unmarked road into the Crow Reservation. Obviously on a road on which we were not allowed. After turning around, we did drive through the reservation. Absolutely beautiful.

Beartooth Highway

Steven and I stopped at one of the lookover spots for Beartooth and all of the sudden all these chipmunks started running up to us. Come to find out they are use to being fed by the tourist. They kept following us....at one point one even followed us to the car. So needless to say we had to find a way to get peanuts during the trip and come back 3 hours later to feed them. Once again...they came running up and one even got on my arm demanding food. Here we are feeding the little critters. HIGHLIGHT of the day.

Day in Montana

So today was great we drove the Beartooth Highway. The Beartooths are home to the largest contiguous land area in the U.S. of over 10,000 feet. So in short....I was scarred driving the highway but we made it just fine. We ended the night having dinner at a steakhouse in which you walk to the back of the steakhouse and out the door....and yes there you have it...THE PIG RACES. Steven had me rolling on the ground. He was hollering for the pigs and in true fashion always picked the underpig and cheered him/her one. On the next couple of post, I will include the pictures from the day.

Montana - Here we are

Well as you can imagine the trip to Montana has started out much like all of our other trips. I stayed out of Steven's way and he packed. Sum luggage two bags, two shoulder bags, and one computer bag. Total weight of bag being checked....49lbs. When we checked into Delta, they laughed and told us that we could not have even accomplished 49lbs if we tried again. Fortunate thing for all you travelers......if you have a Delta Skymiles American Express Gold or Platinum card...NO baggage fees for your first checked bag. This is a new benefit that we learned about. PRICELESS. On the flight from St. Paul to Billings I watched Alice in Wonderland and Steven conducted social camp with the lady sitting next to us. They talked the entire way to Billings. I loved watching him on the flight talk and laugh. He won my heart again.
