Preparing for a Road Trip 05-24-12

In just a week I'll be on the road again en route to Montana with my Kansas friend Ruth Powers.  We plan to see all the Big Sky Country we can both before and after taking a class with Ruth McDowell at the Quilt Gallery in Kalispell.   I'll try to post a lot, depends on my energy level!  Here are some pictures from a solo trip I took in June, 2005.  
 
I don't know what to expect to see in the wide Flathead Valley.  In 2005 there were still vast acres of grain and cattle grazing land, but I understand in the last seven years there has been a great increase in population, so maybe this property is now covered with McMansions.  I'll keep you posted.

 
We hope to spend some time at the National Bison Range.  I was there most of a day and photographed this herd of wild bison taking dust baths.

 
But not all the critters are wild.  This is a herd of bison raised for their meat.
