on the road: Deer Lodge, Montana
May. 23rd, 2006 08:02 pmwe just spent two days camping in Yellowstone, and the couple of days before that in the Badlands, Black Hills, and driving across South Dakota and Wyoming. this is a beautiful place.
today we've left Wyoming and Yellowstone and the buffalo, crossed the continental divide, and finally found free wireless access at a restaurant/motel/casino named Scharf's, across from an old state penitentiary that's now a museum. possibly even two museums. with cars in them, as best i can tell. we've got a good bit more driving on I-90 to do today. not sure where we're staying, but i think it'll either be Potlatch, ID or sleeping in the car somewhere along the road. we'll make Seattle by tomorrow night.
places i haven't yet been, that i want to go:
- Glacier National Park (the Going to the Sun Road is still closed, so we're not going there tonight)
- Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary
- out on long rides in the hills and mountains and sagebrush deserts
been feeling a bit rough, and a little ill, lately. got bits and pieces of difficult things in my head that i need to deal with, but now is not the right time or place. in the meantime...i am travelling, a long way yet from home, but i've come a much longer way already. for now i have the mountains, and the sky, and horses of all colors keeping me company along the highways. i have my Waltzing Matilda, the long roads, the snow and the sage. i have sunset and sunrise, and i have the cool Northwest to look forward to, rivers and the cold Pacific, redwoods and sequoias, friends and laughter and motorcycles.
life is good.
