So we took a little trip to Montana...We had planned to float the Missouri River in a canoe and camp on the side of the river in the middle of NOWHERE, following Louis and Clark's path. We had our pages bookmarked in our little Louis and Clark book, telling us where the buffalo jumps were, and where some gorgeous places like a stone cavern where the old outlaws used to hide from the law, and Native American sites all around..(We found actual intact tee-pee rings the last time we went).
Unfortunately, it just happened to be one of the worst weeks of weather in Montana history. There were tornado's, and hail the size of golf balls, and flooding everywhere...So we did not get to do our well planned trip down the river after all...We still had an amazing time at the "Big Sandy Homecoming", which is the teeny-tiny town that my husband grew up in and graduated with 25 people or so. Here are some highlights...
As we get closer to Montana...The sky opens wide and says hello...
This is the river we were supposed to be floating...Is it not just lovely?
The road into Big Sandy...Be careful not to blink or you will miss it...
The best pizza joint / bar in town. Peps.
The way this one was behaving, I almost threw him in there for a night...
The parade is about to begin...
This was a dinosaur and old west museum that had the only skeleton in the world with actual arrowheads in the chest, hips, and back..They think it was a European trapper who walked down the wrong road...He was found in a shallow grave in the late 1800's
The world's longest Dinosaur below and a T-rex skull above...
I found this artist at the only coffee place at town and fell in love with his Montana landscape shots. His name is Craig Edwards and he lives in Big Sandy. This one was my favorite...Click on it to see more detail, the colors are amazing and the middle building says something like "Sara Sucks!" I need this in my home...www.edwardsstudio.com/
