We had decided to start for home on Monday. Forecast said snow flurries were to start Tuesday morning but you just never know what it's going to be like going over the Washington/Montana passes.
We passed walls of ice falls (frozen water falls) which were very pretty. Kinda hard to see how nice they were but I took all these pictures through the car windows. Some of these ice falls had water flowing over part of them - awesome.
Our first pass is just after we leave Seattle and all was clear - sailed right on over the summit - little snow on the sides but the roadway was dry.
Not so lucky on the second pass - the roadway was a bit wet with some slight snow showers coming down. Didn't have any problems though since the temperature was above freezing so once again we sailed through it.
Didn't really see any vehicles in the ditch except this truck which had jack-knived on the side of the road. I am so blessed to have one of the best drivers around when we travel. Thank you, honey!!!
Made it to Spokane Valley the first night with no problems and to Hardin, Montana the second night. When we got up in the morning, this is what greeted us. We arrived in Sturgis early afternoon and our hosts were waiting for us.
Another tranquil scene from somewhere in Montana. I love the red buildings along the road and just can't resist taking pictures of them.
Amy and Kurt, every time I see this sign in Montana, I think of your family and wish it were Minnesota instead. I love driving through Montana because the scenery is constantly changing and is so varied between plains and mountains. However, it is still a looooooooooooooong way!!!
Have a good week. With love to all of you!!
