It’s been almost a year since I left Florida on the road trip to Montana. Most people said I was nuts for leaving a sunny, warm climate to move here, but I had reunited with a man who I dated 27 years ago (but could never forget about), so I knew that this move was right for me. After all, he IS the love of my life. So with my 2 dogs, my mini-SUV, his big Yukon (he had driven to Florida to help with the move), and him pulling a U-Haul trailer, we left Florida one afternoon.
We headed north, passing through several states, seemingly in the blink of an eye. It was such a hurried trip that I don’t remember a lot about it…drive all day, stop for gas a few times, walk the dogs, stop to eat and sleep…drive some more…and then drive some more..
We made it to Mount Rushmore! It’s not far now..
Soon after that, we drove through a very cool place called The Badlands in South Dakota. My mom had told me about it, since she’d been there several times, but let me tell you–you have to see it in person! Such natural beauty…you will see nowhere else like it. Was it that day or the next that we crossed the Montana state line? Are we there yet?
Finally! My new “home sweet home” on the Stillwater River in south central Montana!
