It was a too short visit with Lia, Zach, and Mikian. They left this morning early to fly to Vermont for Zach’s grandfather‘s funeral.

We headed out to Bozeman as we had plans to stop for lunch with Jenny Watson. Her husband, Doug was in California for business but her youngest son, Luke, was there. The Watson’s used to live in Lafayette and were our Burton Valley neighbors. We had a great lunch at their gorgeous home catching up before heading east.

Our destination was Forsyth, Montana to a campground along the Yellowstone River.

Montana is a big state! We especially like the Bozeman area. The terrain is varied with lots of rivers.

In route, we got hit with a horrific hail storm. We had to seek shelter under an overpass with other travelers to wait out the storm.

Tomorrow we are headed to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.
