A Creek Runs Through It

2moon/commercial break/ Stillwater Drive
Last Sunday, we went for a walk here,
I posted Scott's pictures, and here are mine.
The park is called Two Moon and I'm not sure why. Below is an informational map and you can see the trails etc. It follows the Yellowstone River.
Scott and Gus are leading the way...actually...Gus leads the way...sometimes not our way!
In the distant center, you see the "rims" with what looks like snow on them. Actually it is called "The Weeping Wall" because there is water that seeps through them, but freezes in the winter.
Pretty cool to see up close. It was almost melting on this day and once in a while you would hear one of the large icicles fall off and land on the ground below like a spear.
That is all from 2 moon, as my batteries ran out.
And now a word from our local sponsor....
2 lips...they help you feel like it's spring out!
I bought these lovely bulbs at Costco...I'll keep you updated on their growth!
And now a word from our wonderful pets.
It's almost our anniversary with finding George (George Washington's birthday). He likes to sit on the arm of the chair and TT likes to lay on my down-filled coat.
Gus Bob loves all sorts of attention because.......
he has really, really cute toe tufts!!!
And now back to our life as explorers. Today we decided to drive up to the Stillwater River (feeds into the Yellowstone). It was such a beautiful day...Clear sky, you could see the high country.
We found a wonderful place to put our raft in the water come spring time. The access is in a great spot and the ramp is perfect.
And Scott found a place to put his feet in the water, trying to cool them down from the temp. I like CURVY to be hot when we travel!
More mountain pics getting close to the trailhead where Scott got out and took THESE pics and THIS slide show. (go see them, they are great! and don't I have a nice crack in my windshield?)
A few weeks ago, the wind blew up in this canyon over 100 mph. Along the fence, you can see how the loose grass and weeds gathered and stuck to the fence posts. Posts tufts, I guess you would call them.
And this little town, NYE, population of about 10 that is way in the middle of no where has a REAL LIVE TELEPHONE BOOTH! How long has it been since you've seen one of these?
We sat here, along the waters edge, and ate our sandwiches, carrot sticks and bagel crisp thingies. Not a bad view.
On the way home, we saw the other kind of deer we have in this area...Mule Deer, obviously because of their large ears.
Last little stop to take a pic of the river, and we got to go under this really cool, old bridge first.
And finally, here's a pic of the Yellowstone, we are patiently waiting for the ice to melt so we can raft again...hey, wait...yeah...completely unintentional...a picture of me taking a picture!
See ya after our next journey!

A Fine Valentines Day!
I came out of my school meeting to find a very sweet note written on my bulletin board at school and some lovely purple and white flowers...Thank you Michelle and Terry!
Half way through the school day 4 high schoolers came in to sing an awesome Valentine to me (sibling of one of the singers set that up!) It was sort of embarrassing, and I laughed so much...it was fun.
Then I found a bouquet of flowers on my desk in the cutest white square vase with red hearts engraved in it. A precious note was stuck in it from my husband, thank you honey!
Then we went to the Moss Mansion for fancy desert, music, tour...we got our photo taken together, truly enjoyed the evening. We opted not to do the carriage ride because it was so dang cold. Here is the mansion and description thereof from the Montana Historic Society website:
The Moss Mansion Historic House Museum captures early turn-of-the-century life of the Preston Boyd Moss family. The mansion is a 1903 red sandstone structure. Visitors will see original draperies, fixtures, furniture, Persian carpets and artifacts during their guided one-hour tour. Seasonal exhibits are featured. This home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by the famous American architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh who also designed the original Waldorf-Astoria.
We spoke to the director. Sounds like I can bring students here to carol next December during their winter tour and also Scott has been invited to read his short stories when they have a wine and cheese reading!
It is absolutely gorgeous! We weren't allowed to take pictures, so I found these on the Mt. Gov. website. They hardly capture the elegance!
And here is the Smith River we put in permits go float this summer, hope we get it!
TGIF!
Have a goodie Friday and weekend!
