Oh Montana, how I underestimated your size. Today was a gruelingly long 9 hour day. The first few hundred miles of plains lands were exciting. I mean, look at that photo below. It looks like something straight out of a book. Or Pushing Daisies. Now Imagine looking at that for roughly 550 miles. The upside was trying to spot deer, coyotes, and antelope (there were tons), and of course, the elusive buffalo! Now, Colin claims that there are no "real" buffalo in America. I say, why does everything in Montana claim to be buffalo this, and buffalo that, if it's all really just bison? I pretty much spent the entire day saying "buffalo!" and pointing at large animals in the distance, and Colin spent most of the day saying "cattle" "cow" and "that's actually a shrub."

Now, these next photos (so lovingly snapped by my wonderful husband) get a little graphic, so here's your warning. Tonight at dinner, we tried our first
bison buffalo burgers! We were in Montana and it just felt right, so we sought them out! Ultimately, it really just tasted like a super fancy beef burger. However, it's supposed to be much better for you than beef, and I can see why. There was little to no fat, and they were still tender and Delicious. I would at least suggest trying it once if presented with the option.
Tomorrow is day six, and Colin is absolutely beyond stoked about being in Idaho and exploring Coeur d'Alene. I'm mostly just excited about the world's largest radio flyer wagon :)
