After much discussion and consultation of weather and smoke predictions, we made plans for our extra day in the Bozeman, MT area. We decided to follow the “Old West Day Trip” that the Bozeman Convention and Visitors Bureau put out in a brochure. We followed mostly secondary highways and passed through towns like Twin Bridges, [...]

Holy Smoke!!
Posted in Day to day, General, Travel, Vacation on June 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The best laid plans of mice and vacationers oft go awry. Instead of enjoying the day at Yellowstone today and most of tomorrow, we found ourselves driving up to Bozeman, MT today. The reason: smoke.
On our way back to the hotel last night, the sky looked odd and we thought there might be a fire [...]
To the Tetons and Yellowstone Lake

Two more great days. I’m getting slow like Shill. I still can’t believe my blog is in the same place as his. Coming from Massachusetts, I am a Red Sox fan. In fact, it’s been fun being able to watch them here in W Yellowstone, MT at a reasonable hour. They’ve been playing the Seattle [...]
Nature – of the Human Variety

I’m feeling a bit philosophical this morning – or maybe I just need some breakfast. Right now coffee yogurt, diet Snapple tea and a cherry Pop-Tart will have to do. Sometimes an “eclectic meal” is better than the fanciest restaurant. Pretty soon it will be back out into the world with human animals. Occasionally I [...]
Magical Places

It’s been two of the best days I’ve had in a long time, with a few lessons learned along the way.
Yesterday, we decided to head out for a picnic spot in Yellowstone that held special memories from our first visit, three years ago. It’s an out of the way spot, along a less traveled byway. [...]
Low Road Preferred

We’re finally here – West Yellowstone, MT. It was another long day driving, but my husband found a way to keep us off main highways. We tend to prefer the “low road” if it doesn’t add hours to our trip. Things go by too fast on highways. We would have missed the red-tailed hawk sitting [...]
2 Days Today

I can’t believe that I’m sitting here after two great vacation days and I have “writer block.” It must be a little “fibro fatigue.” Fatigue is one of the symptoms that goes with fibromyalgia – sometimes with cause, often not. I think this is with cause.
Yesterday we spent the day traveling the 29 miles of [...]
Soaring like an eagle

Fibromyalgia is such a fickle thing. One day you feel like you’re dying (you know you aren’t). The next day you feel great – at least until you’re into the 13th hour of a day of driving.
The weather today turned out to be perfect – sunny, dry and in the 70’s. Who could ask for [...]
What a pain!

Remember that old Herman’s Hermits song that went “got up this morning feeling fine?” Well, I did. Just wish it would have lasted longer. But no … fibromyalgia had to rear its ugly head!
Morning in Kalispell, MT was overcast with a 30% chance of rain – we know what that means, don’t we? It definitely [...]
Off to Hamilton, MT

We left Missoula, MT this morning and headed to Hamilton, MT to check out some of my husband’s family history. The weather for the morning and late afternoon was mostly cloudy with 100% of the 30% chance of rain in the middle. Gratefully the rain held off while we made our way up the steep [...]
