Follow the yellow dirt road @ St Mary

Carter seems to have a knack for finding unpaved sections of the road this trip. I think she just wants to come home with that "I've just been on a cross-country adventure!" patina...a combo of dust, bugs and mud.

We were stopped at a one-lane construction stop for about 20 minutes to let traffic from the other side go thru, but the view made it no hardship.

We had fun checking out the sights on the way and getting a look at St Mary's version of the wildlife traffic jam (these aren't your Yellowstone bison!). And the views! OMG the views! And we weren't even to Glacier NP yet!Read more
