Billings to Missoula

Got a rather late start, but that was all right because it was only a 5.5 hour drive and I wasn't in a super hurry to get there, as I will be in Missoula for two days. The drive was relatively pretty, but it kind of surprised me how yellow Montana is. I suppose that it's because it's been dry and they haven't had enough rain to keep everything alive, but it still just didn't strike me as too beautiful (sorry, Montana). There were some parts that were very impressive. like the mountains that I was able to see just east of Bozeman. Thankfully the roads go between the mountains. I'm rather frightened of heights, which should be interesting as I'm going to be in mountains for the next... quite a bit of my journey. I'm essentially going to be following the mountains up until I get into Alaska, and even then, it's not very flat. I'm not going through the super huge Rockies (those are south of here) but I'm sure that I'll be getting up relatively high. But hey, this trip is about pushing myself, right?

I also wanted to make sure that everyone knows that you can subscribe to my blog, and then you will get an email whenever I update. If you have a gmail account, just click on the left side of the screen and follow me. That way, whenever I update you'll know, and you don't have to play the guessing game. For the rest of my trip, I will have internet here in Missoula, in Banff (the 5th), Dawson Creek (the 6th), not the 7th or 8th (that's when I'm in the Yukon, and hotels are hard to find), and then when I get to Anchorage on the 9th and after that. So it's only two nights that I'll be away from the internet, and I'm hoping that somewhere along the way I'll run into a McDonald's or some other place where I can connect. We'll just have to wait and see.

Well, that's enough for now. I'll write again when I get another chance!
