Lewistown and Hike

For anyone planning to visit Montana, don't go to Lewistown. We were there for the Montana PA conference and I doubt if we ever go back. It was very flat and good food (and service) was hard to find. On the positive side, there was a McDonalds. We did take a drive one evening and got some pretty cool pictures of a storm coming through.

Yesterday was quite possibly the best day we've had here without skis or a snowboard. We drove up into the Tobacco Root mountains to Branham lakes and hiked for 5 hours. I think we were at around 10,000 feet when we reached the top. It was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures don't do it justice, of course, but we still took a zillion.
