Montana: Big Sky Country!

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! (Psalm 8:9, GWT)

We had planned on being in Canada by now; however, we found the Little Bighorn Battlefield to be very intriguing! We started off our tour by watching a short film laying out the historical aspects of the facts leading up to the battle. Then we walked the battlefield. Mike and I agree, this is our favorite National Park to date!



 
These markers are where the soldiers remains were found and erected where they died.


 The battlefield.


Having a special appreciation of horses, I found their memorial to be of special importance.










On the road again!


Beautiful Montana!

Truly "Big Sky Country"!

Montana farmland.

Montana homestead.

Looks like snow but it's alkali.


Mike was super thrilled to see Musselshell River. He is a voracious reader, especially westerns. Many of the books he has read writes about the trappers on this river.


Good night Beautiful Montana!




Travelers note: Eddie's Corner (Junction of 191 & 87) is an RV friendly stop!




North to Alaska!

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the Heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is Your kingdom. We adore You as the One who is over all things. (1 Chronicles 29:11, NLT)

We rolled into Wyoming last night. We enjoyed our morning run alongside snow capped mountains on one side and Lake Desmit on the other, sunshine, 79 degrees, and cool breezes!



Caught a few antelope dozing in the sunshine.

As you can see, Wyoming boasts of wide open spaces!



Thank God for this great nation!


We've traveled many miles and we have many more ahead of us as we press on to Alaska! 

This is my third drive to Alaska. My first route was Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington State, Canada, Alaska. My second route was Alaska, Canada, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma. My third route has and will be Hawaii, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii.

My favorite route is…well, thats just way too difficult to choose because America is such a blessed nation. Every state has it's own uniqueness to offer travelers.

We will cross the border into Canada some time today. The timing all depends on how many things we see that we want to explore along the way. We are currently on our way to Montana!

Due to the high costs of internet, we will not be updating again until we cross into the U.S. border. We will be blogging the Canada portion of our trip; however, we won't post it until we are back in the U.S. unless we camp at a spot that offers free wifi.

Mahalo Nui Loa for coming along with us, we truly appreciate your comments and emails! 

A Hui Hou…until we meet again, on the other side of the border!



Father God, we thank You for our readers. They are such a blessing and source of encouragement and support to us. I thank You for causing them to triumph in Christ Jesus! I thank You for blessing them and keeping them, thank You for making Your face to shine upon them, and being gracious to them. Thank You for lifting up Your countenance upon them and giving them peace!
