Steve and Judy's Travels!

Montana

There is a lot of Montana left to explore.  We’ve got the mountainous western part pretty good though.

Idaho

We filled in a few counties, but still a long way to go.

But Wyoming, that’s different.  We only had one county to go.

And our route home through Idaho, with an option through the town of Kemmerer, got us that last county.

Now we’ve been in every county in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and Washington.  Oh no.  All the other states are contiguous, but that leaves Washington hanging out there all by itself.  If we filled in Idaho, that would connect everything, but that’s a lot of counties.  Nevada would be easier, and we only have three counties to go in Oregon.  Another challenge for another trip.

He was too busy munching to look up at us.  We were too busy driving to wait for a better shot.

The only elk we saw in the park.  We figured they were all at higher elevations and would come down in the fall, which is what they do, but this one was clearly here.

And beyond.

Not literally, but it’s still in my head, colored by minerals and algae.

Continuing on today to see Becky and Brian in Erie, Colorado.

On the way here, we took a scenic route between Rawlins and Laramie we’ve been looking at for decades but not gotten to: Wyoming Highway 130 through the Snowy Range.  It only adds an extra half hour to the trip if you don’t stop.  But forget that.  You’ll stop.
