October 26 – Montana, Idaho, Home


Our trip of 4000 miles (each way) comes to an end today.

It’s dark as we set out. The brightening sky silhouettes the mountain peaks from behind.

We traverse the last piece of Montana and then Northern Idaho feeling the comfort of familiarity. Mostly green blankets the hills with brush strokes of yellow color sweeping in swaths like sunlight touching here and there.

We drive through a section where the yellow color descends and lines the road on both sides. It’s a bower of torchlight. Glorious.

The sun breaks through and lights up every tamarack needle (and leaf). A green and yellow extravaganza for miles.
Low wispy clouds appear caught in the branches.

Aaaah, home.
