Homeward Bound: Day 13

Can you guess what this is?
(scroll to the bottom of the post to see the answer)

Fields of flowers in British Columbia

Arriving in Montana...

Blooming Cottonwood Tree

I didn't want to leave Canada and I wasn't ready to start heading home. There was still so much to see and do right where we were but I guess it was time to move on. We had a pretty uneventful day as we traveled from Invermere, BC to Bozeman, MT. Another blue sky day greeted us and gave us a fantastic backdrop for a couple more pictures. Mike actually took all of these photos with the exception of the "metal" ones. I love the Cottonwood shot. Very cool, honey!

One neat discovery was a pizza chain with several locations in the area. It was called MacKenzie River Pizza Co. and they caught our eye as we were looking for some grub. The inside was designed like a log ski lodge, with a lot of natural and outdoors elements. The food was fantastic and the service was stellar too. We'll definitely give them a try again once we're back in the area.

We stayed in Bozeman for the night, and Mike and I were shocked to see how much the area had changed. We skied at Big Sky back in 2000 and drove right down the same strip in town, but the density of businesses and shops seemed to have quadrupled. It was nice to see the growth but I almost thought it took away from the Montana charm.

On to Wyoming....



This Moose was in front of the pizza joint we stopped at. It was huge and made up of thousands of washers, horseshoes, car parts, steel balls, chains, flywheels...you name it. What a unique way to recycle!
