Road less taken

Yesterday’s drive from Winthrop to Missoula seemed to be less tiring than our previous drives and we decided that was because the first half of the day was driven off the Interstates: fewer cars, slower speeds, better views. So we selected a route that we had not done before and it was almost a complete success. The last hour was marred a bit by an inconsiderate truck driver who slowed down to 35-40 on every small hill. As there were 3 other trucks behind him, there was no chance to pass. My serenity and equanimity were challenged during that period, but the slow going allowed us to watch the scenery more closely.

During the drive we saw a mom elk with her baby, pronghorn antelopes, aspen with snowy white bark, and lots of towering outcrops. At least that is what Heather was calling the rocks. I can hardly wait to find out what she calls the rocks in Utah and Arizona.En savoir plus
