does this sign make my butt look big ?

I was just looking through some pictures and I stumbled upon this one. I forgot how ridiculous and funny this moment was! I needed a good laugh and it might as well be at myself. I was VERY EXCITED to arrive in Montana!!!

I ♥ MONTANA!

As you requested, and an fyi, a perfect butt, although I was intrigued by the physics of straight legs with heavy wellies on upside down...strong muscles and good posture !

So sad about Madison...been there a few times and it wasn't fun...Cokie was 16, Shane was 12 etc.

Whitefish ? just a great spot !

Ok some Livingston, Pray/Emmigrant, Jellystone ideas:

Livingston: Dan Bailey's Fly Shop (1/2 day Yellowstone Float trip ?), The Murray Hotel, 2nd Street Bistro Rest., Mont. Rib House....

Driving down 89 from Livingston...

You'll come to the Flashing light in Emmigrant...Sinclair Station on your left, Old Saloon (it's a trip) on your right. Take a left and cross the Yellowstone River; on your right you'll see the sign for a "Boat Access" park in the dusty lot and walk down to the Yellowstone...there are a few islands there you can walk onto...get's pretty remote, very serene and you'll see Emmigrant Peak to the East. It is actually a great place to fly fish in fast water (need a 5 or 6 wt.)...great place for LuLu to stretch her legs...

If you keep going you'll see signs for Chico Hot Springs...

Pray: Chico Hot Springs (old, classic Montana Resort) a must see/do/stay and my favorite cabin #707 on the hill

Further down 89, just after where the East Yellowstone Rd. reconnects with 89 and well before the Gardiner Airstrip and canyons, you'll see a sign for Tom Miner Creek...cross back over the Yellowstone on the rickety bridge and follow the signs to Tom Miner campground. Great but long drive up to and down from the camp ground, past "Hubbard's Yellowstone", some great ranches, then a perfect short hike to the overlook of Jellystone; from the pkg. lot through the cow gate, up the trail, across the arroyo where the trail splits, GO RIGHT, or you'll end up in serous wilderness. You'll see the rock cliff overlook, caves etc. Great view and pics as you drive down of Paradise Valley...see if you can spot my favorite house !

Then on to Gardiner & Jellystone: It is amazing !!!

Look forward to a blog pic of you doing a head stand under the TR Arch !!

Just a few ideas...all Google-a-ble ...

Finally...re: the bear in the camp ground etc. I always wear a whistle around my neck, and always make alot of noise on trails etc....it alerts the bears and scares them away (although in Jellystone they're so used to you that they'll look at you and just ignore you). Be alert if you see a bear...for if it's a sow and her cubs are nearby, she will be very aggressive, and if you come between her and her babys watch out !

Have a great Big Sky Day !

Wow! You do know this area well!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Looking forward to it!! Heading back up to East Glacier side today (maybe, if not then tomorrow morning). Haven't wanted to stray too far away from the vet until lulu was 100%. I'll see how today goes.... She's not really eating. :(
