Today started in a really quirky way. I knew I was in Mountain Time, but my body thought it was still in Central.
I usually wake up at 5 am on weekdays. Today? I woke up at 5 am...but it was actually 4 am.
So...thinking that, I got cleaned up, packed up, and ready to head to the nearest McDonald's.
Well, by the time I got there it was about 6 am, but it was actually 5 am. LOL So, of course, they were not opening up for another hour.
Sigh. Silly me.
So, I got my Diet Pepsi and my Special K bar and I was ready to go hit the road.
It was still dark at 5 am, but there was light in the east...
So I hit I-90 west.
Started to see the Mt ranges about 1 1/2 from Billings:
I took a detour of sorts today. I went to see Helena, the state capitol of Montana.
Here are two clips:
Small Capital for a HUGE state!
I didn't stay long in Helena. Got gas, saw the Capitol, then headed west on Hwy 12. Took some vid of that scenic route:
At the Continental Divide...
The next big stop was Flathead Lake.
"Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake in western US. Flathead Lake is 28 miles long by 15 miles wide and over 300 feet deep. The lake was originally formed by a glacier and is now continuously fed by the Swan and Flathead Rivers."
This Lake is HUGE. Hwy 93 for the most part travels along the Lake. Here are some pics that I took of the Lake:
Simply amazing! I got a vid as well:
Now I am in Kalispell at the Super 8 and I am exhausted. Going to bed early tonight, then head off to Glacier National Park :)
See ya tomorrow evening!
