DAY 4, Monday, September 10, 2007
We traveled today from Priest River, Idaho to Butte, Montana -- an 8 1/2 drive thru scenic mountains, rivers, lakes, with a gorgeous blue sky and warm sunny weather. I wondered how anyone could ever be discouraged or depressed living here. I am sure if I lived here and felt discouraged I would just go outside and rub this delicious sunshine on my arms and face and I would be happy once again!
. . .It will be difficult to listen to anyone who seriously talks to me about over populating the earth again. We drove for 8 1/2 hours -- hundreds and hundreds of miles -- except for a few tiny settlements and two small towns -- the land is completely uninhabited. Hundreds of miles of land -- nearly completely empty of houses/people.
. . . Huckleberries seem to be all the fad here and I mentioned to Ben that I would like to have a piece of huckleberry pie. But after lunch I was too fun for pie. So while I went to the ladies room Ben bought me a piece to go -- what a sweetie huh? Was delicious -- quite sweet -- more so than blueberries.
. . . The speed limit through Montana is 75 MPH. I don't need to tell you how much Ben enjoyed that! There we were -- driving along mile after mile -- beautiful blue sky above -- shimmering lake below -- the road nearly empty of any cars -- both of us together with the one we love the most -- not a care in the world -- ah lovely!
. . .Not an adventurous day really -- rather quiet. Hoping to make it to Yellowstone, Wyoming tomorrow.
