The weather is against us! Yesterday after our coffee shop stop, we made the executive decision to buy our groceries and re-organize our car rather than ride in the 3 inches of snow accumulating on the road. (These things were essential since we were both hungry and buried in the car.) Note: pictures.
Our drive to Seeley Lake was beautiful, even in the snow, and it made us wish that we were able to ride the whole way. In order to connect with Amanda's friend Annie (by way of Annie's friend at the Little Bird Inn) we shopped at a yarn and book store to ask for directions. The lady there showed us the knitting needles (featured in Vogue Magazine) that her husband makes by hand.
Soon we were on our way to find Annie's house way up in the mountains. Seeley is a labyrinth. The many deer guides gleefully
pranced in front of us to show us the way. Honestly, it was like going on safari--there were too many deer to count.Once settled in the house, we began reading our first book, Dakota. Before finishing the first chapter, Annie, Jeffery and their son Connor--along with dogs Max and Pearl--came home and gave us a big welcome. We talked, ate tacos and decided that we should all join Amanda in moving to South Korea (kind of). Jeffery got out his detailed map of Montana to help us deter
mine a better route towards Helena, and excited us for future days to come with his explanations of the Southwest Montana landscape.Today we decided to stay in Seeley Lake, eat corn fritters and wait out the blizzard. No biking today, but as Annie wisely encouraged us, "Don't worry about not biking right now, you'll get a lot of biking in."

Love ya gals, what brave souls who journey through time to enjoy the existential that the creator brings their way. As the qoute goes, " its not the destination but the journey along the way that matters. Four wheels for the road and two wheels for the soul. My prayers are with you, journey on. kjk
Hey from Arizona,
SNOW? Whats that? Glad your being prudent and wise. I have ridden in snow on a motorcycle and roadbike. Takes a bit of focus and a whole lot of nerve. Happy for your choices to not brave the blizzard. Maybe another time. Get some experiance and distance under your belt then go after the unknown. Love ya, Karla
Girls, Good decision to stay put for the day. Get reaquainted with your friends and enjoy your time. The road will be there tomarrow.Stay warm and drink lots of coffee. I will have a cup of Montana coffee in your honor. Mom
