A good thing comes to an end.


Well tomorrow my Montana adventure (as well as my holiday with the splendid in-laws) comes to a close. I am leaving in the morning to drive our car back to DC and to resume life there. Nikki and Georgie are following by air next Friday. I'll be away from Georgie for 8 days. My previous record was 3 and I wasn't looking to break it.

To avoid icy weather on the ND and SD routes, I am heading through Wyoming and going east through Nebraska and Iowa. It adds a few hundred miles but should make for a much better drive. And I get to see something new. Tomorrow night I'll only go as far as Casper, as I'll get a later start and I found a hotel there that takes pets.

It'll be hard to leave Montana. Despite some trials and frustrations, the quality of life here is immeasurably better than DC. We'll have to find a way to take a little of Montana back with us.
