Goodbye Montana

The journey continues to be incredible. We have passed from dry golden plains on the east side of Glacier to heavily wooded forests on the west. It has been quite a dramatic change. Recently we have been fortunate enough to come across swimming holes almost daily. Yesterday we passed by the majestic Cabinet Mountains of western Montana. The terrain has been relatively easy as we follow rivers and lakes towards the Pacific. I think that will change very shortly. When we leave our current location of Sandpoint, ID, we will embark on a difficult stretch crossing the Cascade Mountains of northern Washington. There are four formidable passes between here and the ocean. I am ready for the challenge. They will be difficult but rewarding.

We have ben trying to upload pictures but most public computers won't let us. We will be staying with a friend in Seattle, so hopefully we can do it there.
