Scenes from a mountain drive

Since we live in this very small rural town there are not a lot of fancy places to go to celebrate festive occassions unless we drive about an hour and a half. Since we were already planning to do that on Saturday for school clothes shopping we didn't want to go Friday night. So instead, when Sam got home from work we fed the kids and hopped into Big Pink (the truck you see at the top of my page) and headed up our mountain for nothing more than a joy ride. No plans for log gathering or anything.......

Wasn't it a beautiful night? The first two pictures were taken on our way up. We explored one of the lesser traveled (translate....BUMPIER) roads and discovered the stand of tall thin trees in the 3rd picture. Then on our way down I took the last two pictures as the sun was setting. How much "fancier" of a setting did we need?!!!

And yes.......we just couldn't help ourselves........we did pick up a few logs along the way.

About Me

My husband and I along with our 3 children, moved from Iowa to Montana 3 years ago fulfilling a long time dream of living in the mountains. Last summer we purchased and moved onto our bare land and are currently living in our home made cabin which has evolved from a shed to a barn to our cabin and future guest house. The foundation for what we now call "The big house" is dug and waiting for our next burst of energy!
