Montana! Woot! Our first day here was sunny and warm. We got into Montana and it promptly started pouring rain, complete with tiny-sized hail. It lasted about 5 minutes and was followed by a PERFECT rainbow! I decided it was a good omen. The small part of the state we've seen is the most beautiful of our trip, and we can't wait for more. However, it looks like we'll have to wait on it, as the weather in this fine state is not all that agreeable at the moment. It's ok where we are - cold, but no colder than its been the past few weeks - but in the Western part it's in the 40's and snowing. We decided we don't want to think back on our trip and only remember cold gloomy days, so we're going to stay still for a few days to see if things improve. We really aren't in any rush, and we have a long time to go before summer is over so why not wait? We've got food and books and cards (I found a book of card games for sale at a library we went to recently...we'll teach ourselves canasta or something) and a grocery store near our campsite that has an excellent beer selection.
Besides that, not much to report. We've got some cool looking cities coming up - Billings, Bozeman and Missoula - that all have some delicious vegetarian thing to offer. I think Bozeman and Missoula have co-ops too! And just when peanut butter sandwiches were beginning to get boring :)
Love and hugs and kisses!!!!

Ole Montana! I didn't realize they had the internet there. You are right... we ain't even got past spring, officially, yet. It's bound to heat up soon. Someone here was camping in Montana two weeks ago, and they had snow. Yuck.
And remember this... Montana is a BIG ASS state. Missoula is a long way down the road, so take yer time and enjoy! Just so you know, Lake Delton up in the Dells has basically washed away. And A couple towns along the Kickapoo are under lots of water, so it could be worse. All of us back home? All we want are more more more regale us with more adventures... our lives are so plain.
*sighs*
love youse guys

Enjoy a poem about Montana:
Once in the 40's
By William Stafford
We were alone one night on a long
road in Montana.
This was in winter, a big night, far to the stars.
We had hitched, my wife and I, and left our ride at a crossing to go on.
Tired and cold--but brave--we trudged along.
This, we said, was our life, watched over, allowed to go where we wanted.
We said we'd come back some time when we got rich.
We'd leave the others and find a night like this, whatever we had to give, and no matter how far, to be so happy again.
