Icy Air, Hay, Mountains, Blue Sky, and a Willys Jeep


Car time sometimes takes up more of my time than I ever imagined. It takes at least 10 hours to get to my two main destinations. The country I pass through and get to see, the people at the little cafes I get to converse with, and the air I get to breath make the driving part of the fun usually. This trip back up to Libby was no different. On the way down I stopped at a little family run cafe in Whitehall. I bought a yummy muffin and asked the laid back folks the best way to Ennis from there. Not very often, but sometimes, you're actually told what you WANT to hear! They told me the quickest way was through Twin Bridges and Virginia City. Exactly what I wanted to hear. I sped away muffin crumbs projecting from my window every mile or so =). Naturally on the way back I went the same route. They weather was even more beautiful on the way back. picture~ Sphinx Mountain

The route takes me through Ennis, Virginia City, Alder, Sheridan, and Twin Bridges. This is the Ruby Valley. The Ruby with it's cattle, fishing, and Tobacco Root Mountains. I love it in winter too. This is just outside of Sheridan I believe. I saw the coolest thing close to here. A rancher had his small, old pickup rigged to haul two round bales at once! It sat the pickup down fairly far, but it worked.



This beautiful Jeep was outside of Virginia City. Somebody wants to sell it. It's cute isn't it!
