montana!

i took a very random, last minute trip to Bozeman, Montana last weekend. I've never been to Montana and it was a fun trip. It was very beautiful and there were some amazing landscapes. However, there isn't much to do without a car and some freedom, so there were moments of boredom. But certainly not with the weather... I got it all: rain, wind, snow, hail, lightning, thunder, sun. The fall colors came out in abundance, and for a few days I appreciated what it's like to really experience fall again. It's been awhile, and a first in terms of NORTH northern fall.
