Day Three: (11/08/11) We wake up early and leave before the
sun rises – unfortunately we were driving east, but we managed to avoid the sun
in our eyes. By the time we got back to the “Welcome to Montana” sign, the sun
was just coming up. It was a magic moment, we had searched all around the sign
and were starting to drive further up the road slowly with our eyes peeled, and
we found it!! It was another moment of excited screaming, arm waving, pulling
over, and running to the middle of the road. My tiny brown Coach wallet was
sitting there on the yellow line, all puffed out from being run over by a car.
The zipper was broken but it was still intact. All of the cards inside the
wallet were crushed into tiny pieces but somehow my drivers license and debit
card, which had been tucked in the outside pocket of the wallet had flung out
and were lying in the grass a few feet away, unharmed. Is that a miracle or
what? I think God was telling to give up on credit cards. We spent a few
minutes rejoicing and then headed back on our way!
For some reason, our GPS took us on the scenic route through
Montana rather than staying on 94. We took Montana 200 on a more northern route
across the state. We are convinced that this route has much prettier views,
steeper hills, and sharper turns. Let’s just say that there were points when I
was driving where my knuckles were white and my palms were sweating, and I thought,
this is the reason why there aren’t many cars on this road. Anyway, we got some
amazing photos and saw the best views.  |
