This is a picture of a refinery in Montana. You could see the flames from miles away but the closer we go the less impressive it was, but wanted you to get a "flavor" of the countryside and the sights we saw along the road.
This was an interesting site, also in Montana. The snow-capped mountains were on the driver's side of the car and the more brown, desolute landscape was on the passenger side of the car. Interesting - beautiful country.
I actually took this picture for Jan. She loved the little red dots that we had on our little blue car so thought she'd probably enjoy these big pink dots all over this little blue car. Passed this car a couple of times going through Billings.
Dad was fascinated with these huge tires we passed on the freeway. I can't imagine what they're for, other than the big trucks they use in the mines.
It was "dripping" out a bit so this picture if rather blurred but it was beautiful landscape. There were all these evergreen trees on the hillside but they were intersperced with bright yellow trees. Dad said the yellow ones were tamarac evergreen trees - it was beautiful.
This is one of the prettiest sites along the trip. You come down from the mountain, and you can see this bridge from quite a distance, then you cross the bridge and this is the Columbia River, taken from the bridge. It's near Ellensburg, Washington and one of my favorite scenes. I do not, however, particularly like crossing the bridge because there is water on both sides and I don't like that feeling. It's even worse if I'm driving.
That was our trip - I'll try to take more pictures of the other side of the road on our way home or maybe I'll take "motel" pictures or "food" pictures of our meager meals.
Have a terrific week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
