Bozeman, Montana

Bozeman is in a very large valley surrounded by so many mountain ranges.  I spent the night plugged in at my friend, Gretchen's place up on a hill with the entire valley and surrounding mountains for a view.  Stunning!!
The drive from Cody was smooth 'cause I traveled via the freeway (I-90) for the most part, keeping in mind my ferry reservation in Vancouver, B.C. on July 21.  The mountain ranges on the way to Bozeman have such neat names, not to mention their beauty.  Coming into Bozeman, the Beartooth Range, which is one of my favorites, brings back a memory of  years back when Kelly and I traveled over Beartooth Pass from Cooke City, Montana to Red Lodge.  Talk about feeling like being on top of the world!

Beartooth Range at quite a distance.

These are the views from Gretchen's.  Beautiful place to live, don't 'ya think?

I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets while visiting Gretchen. Trouble is; which photos do I post?  It was truly amazing.

Short visit, but Gretchen is so busy managing the family farm and her 3 kids.  Her daughter is 5 and twin boys are 3.  Has her hands full.

Off in the morning to Missoula for a stopover before heading up to Vancouver,B.C.

My apologies to my Montana and Bitterroot Valley friends that I won't be in Missoula long enough this time to visit.  I will be back the end of August and hope to see everyone.

Truck running like a champ and Maddie and Jaxson seem to be enjoying wherever they are as long as I am close
