Greetings from Helena, MT on Friday, September 06, 2013.

Please note, I have a new blog address (due to some conflicts with gmail).  It's BobAndDonnaAdventures.blogspot.com

We are finally heading eastward :)  Left Kalispell Wednesday afternoon. Haven’t made much progress geographically, but it’s been a beautiful ride J  We went on hwy 35 to hwy 83 and spent the night in the forest by Porcupine Creek. The next day traveled Hwy 200 to Hwy 141 to hwy 12 where we spent the night in the Helena National Forest.  Have pix to follow. What beautiful and peaceful places to be.

Along Flathead Lake. Hazy from the forest fires around… 

 What a straight road! …

A man and his dog :)

And then more straight roads as we proceeded on Thursday…

A little area history at a Rest Area…

.

And then spent the night Thursday in the Helena National Forest, somewhere at the edge of Clarks Canyon. 

And more beautiful scenery…

Sat in the car up high watching the sun go down. Expected to see more critters, but only 6 mule deer (and 2 of those we think we saw twice), and a couple of grouse. 

We drove out of the hills to find hanging fog… so beautiful!...

Continuing on hwy 12 we headed east to Helena.  We were reminded that about 20 years ago, Bob was driving some of us ladies to a Women of the Church of God Convention in Helena and our engine threw a rod on the long climb… and all the wonderful things that happened from that ‘seemingly’ bad thing. Bob’s view of the women of God was for ever changed after that weekend! Thank you ladies for the blessing that you were then, and continue to be in so many lives!

And now we’re sitting in Helena at the local WalMart to put this blog together and pick up a few groceries.  See you soon J
