(Written 5/24)
Fellow adventurers -
Here I am, I have made it, to the great state of Montana. Hopped on Rt. 90W on Friday and arrived in Red Lodge, MT Saturday afternoon. This is my first time to Montana and I must say... GORGEOUS! It's worth the drive through South Dakota =)
(At this point, I'd like to send a special shout-out to my dad for driving the 22 hrs with me... Thanks, Dad!!!)
Last night, during a drive around the Bear Tooth mountains at dusk, I noticed a large black animal roaming around by the side of the road... "Is that a bear??" Ha, it was. A big, black bear - he (or she) was pretty cute from far away and inside a vehicle =) We drove around a quick bend and proceeded to exit the vehicle (hesitantly) to check out a rushing stream in a deep valley filled with trees, between the mountains. The mountains were beginning to fade to a deep purple-gray as the sun continued to melt away in the distance. No more bear-sightings (yet).
This morning I arrived at my apartment. It is Amazing - We can see mountains from our windows, there is a beautiful trail behind our apartment that leads to the quaint Main St. downtown. The view from the outskirts of town is straight from a post card (complete with baby ducklings and tulips - no joke).
Tomorrow is orientation - I look forward to finally learning about my role in the crew and the projects we have to look forward to this summer!
Stay tuned...
Julie
P.S. It was 30 degrees here today! Eeep!
