I visited the rolling prairies and big skies of Montana a few years ago. We also visited the Missouri Breaks, formed over many years by the Missouri River. When it was time to go home, I hated to leave those wide open spaces, and get back to "normal existence." The country out West spoke to me. So vast and still unsettled. Maybe it stirred some pioneer spirit within me. I would go back in a heartbeat, but alas, my daughter is no longer there, giving up her teaching position to move home to be nearer to me after her mom passed.<br />My one very lasting memory of Montana was the night my daughter took me out of town(pop. 365), far enough that the town lights didn't interrupt the sky. We got out along the road and actually laid on the hood of her car and stared at the millions, no billions, of stars. Thus, why it is called "Big Sky" country. :) Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048908920247516125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-91826765974037752692016-08-28T09:30:30.509-04:002016-08-28T09:30:30.509-04:00In the heat of the summer we always headed north ...In the heat of the summer we always headed north before, during and after our two sons. Always Canada plus one drive to Alaska. Always camping. Three times to Vancouver Island, three times to the Maritimes and everything in between. June, July and August were our favorite months (yes I was a teacher). We loved Canada and its friendly people....:)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-46297625639452599592016-08-28T08:53:25.159-04:002016-08-28T08:53:25.159-04:00We too did this trip with our kids some 20 years a...We too did this trip with our kids some 20 years ago now.

I have seen only a few "up close" (no climbing, please). But each time, I come away stunned at the otherworldly sense they leave me with. Jungfrau, as I blogged about, was such an experience. Last year, with our Alaska trip, the Denali mountain range as well as Denali itself was quite moving.<br />In South Africa, the Drakensberg mountains are stark and majestic.<br />As for your drive across half of Canada--yes, it is a vast country. Have not ever made the drive you did, but I have been in some of the western prairie provinces--Manitoba (where my brother lives), Saskatchewan where my grandfather tried home-steading for a brief time, British Columbia where some of my father's relatives are.<br />Thanks for reprising your trip.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.com
