MONTANA

 In the summer of 2005, I drove from Cottage Grove to Bozeman, Montana to visit my daughter, who was working there for the USDA Natural Resource and Conservation Service.   It was a two day trip through southern Idaho, with a night in Boise, then up through west Yellowstone into Montana.  Bozeman is the home of Montana State University where winter weather can occur any time of the year and the grocery stores are well stocked with Buffalo meat.   My return trip was through western Montana, through northern Idaho, with a night in Coeur d'Alene, then down through eastern Washington.   These pictures taken during on our hike into the Spanish Peaks Wilderness.
