Like I mentioned the drive was unbelievably long yet unbelievably beautiful. We left at 6:00 AM on Tuesday the 22nd from our home here in Southern California and Ryan let me sleep until we hit Vegas. We then drove through Arizona and and Utah. I should have gotten my lazy sleepy ass out of the car to pose by those signs but hey, I was being lazy. We got into Ogden, Utah just before 8:00PM. We then left again at 6:00 AM and got back on the highway. I hopped out to take a pee and pose by the Idaho sign. I then reenacted the scene at the Montana sign. The drive went by quickly and before I knew it we were in Crackerville, just outside of Butte and before you get to Anaconda. My sister’s father-in-law that goes by the name “Big Daddy” owns over 1,000 acres there. We stayed in the guest house with my sister and her husband. We ate nothing but country style food. Breakfast was all about Big Daddy’s homemade gravy and lunch and dinner always contained some kind of hog meat. I am not eating for a week now. If that wasn’t bad enough, Ryan and I discovered how delicious Cracker Barrel is. Geez, talk about yummy calories. I need to drink more Tab and eat less food to lose the weight from this vacation.

We traveled around Montana and I was able to see some gorgeous scenery. This is a photo in front of some falls. The dogs had a blast that day. I couldn’t keep Trey out of the stream. I fell in love with a little town called Darby. I also found a property with a huge house for sale for only 1.7 million. Hey, I thought a person could get a good deal in Montana. Come to find out a lot of celebrities have purchased up a lot of estates and the prices are not cheap. Even Oprah has a house on a lake that I visited. Uh, the lake not Oprah’s house 🙂
