BOONDOCKING DENIED

From Holland Lake we had 2 days to make our way to Ennis, MT and on day 1, for the first time, we were denied a boondocking spot!  We started the morning with a leisurely walk near Seeley Lake,…

MONTANA AT ITS BEST

Since our stay at Hungry Horse Reservoir didn’t go quite as expected, water therapy seemed like the cure. Is it the sound of water, the reflection within or its dance with the sky that so readily puts a smile…

I don’t do drugs, but I do have a vicious soft peanut brittle (or bruttle, to be precise) habit.  Don’t misunderstand me, I’ve never turned down carrot cake, chocolate or coffee either but with soft peanut brittle so much…
