BEAR TOOTH HIGHWAY

Monday we drove 145 miles on the Bear Tooth Highway and Chief Joseph Scenic Highway which took us into Wyoming and back to Montana. It was an all day trip going up and down the mountains and around the curves, making lots of stops for pictures and just enjoying more of God's creation. This is our favorite place on top of the mountain. I got to make a snow angel which was a thrill. We wanted to walk down to a particular lake but due to a time schedule and the threat of rain we could only walk a short distance. Walking back up was not that much of an incline but with the elevation being well over 10,000 feet we were out of breath. While we were on our walk we saw one bird which kept following us. Wish I could talk bird. I would liked to have known what she was saying. We stopped at a rest area on our way to the top. When we were here in 2008 there were a few ground squirrels and chipmunks who hung out for hand outs. I think the same ones were there today. Allan and I stopped and talked to a group of bikers. One had been in Vietnam about the same time as Allan and was also a Seabee. They chatted for a while.

We took so many pictures but had to cut the number down considerably. The easiest way to put that many on the blog is do a slide show. Since you couldn't be with us, this is second best. Enjoy.
