Yellowstone & Montana road trippin' photos...

As promised, now that the Internet has returned in full force (in a new city [Seattle], at a new hotel [Courtyard Marriott on Westlake]), the pictures from the past few days are below.  Stay tuned for Seattle Shenanery...

 Beautiful country.

 Quite a cliff.

 Big Sky country for a reason...

 Every mile there is some other ranch in Montana, and I'm not talking ranch dressing.
