My Great Grandpa is in this picture. When I first saw it, I was sure he was the dapper fellow with the fur coat. I was wrong. He is the hard-working driver in the cute hat right next to him. Robert Vinson had the first stagecoach that ran from Dixon to Polson 100 years ago this year. Kinda cool….I think I might be beating the whole…”I am totally from Montana…I love Montana…..Did I mention I think Montana is way cool and lots of people should move here and buy houses from me?….thing. But I thought this was pretty fun since it was actually 100 years ago…this year.

I don’t know anything about this picture…but I thought it was pretty funny! I think the guy riding the buffalo looks like my Grandpa George…That would be my Dad’s Dad…but I don’t know for sure. I just thought that maybe Ted Turner might want to do this with some of his buffalo..Hmm? I think he might see this and start doing the parade circuit this summer!

I thought this was pretty funny! My Grandpa George was known to lead a pack string into Glacier Park. The best I can guess is that this is part of the string and they were hauling in the outhouses! This is what I call “Glamping”! What is Glamping? Glamour Camping. I love Glamping and maybe it is because of those who came before me that I picked up this love. Doubt it…really? Who wouldn’t rather go Glamping than regular camping….Glamping is way more fun…only if someone else is setting it up…and cooking for you and tearing it down and hauling it out….yeah…it is all a lot of work! But still better than just camping!

Not sure who this is…I think it might be my Dad…Have you seen anything cuter? Or more dangerous? Are you kidding me? A step backwards and he is a gonner….these are the same people who put him on a sheep when he was 2 1/2 and let him break his leg! So, I guess this shouldn’t be a suprise….but “Commmooonnn”! Though…it looks as if the horse is watching him and thinking the same thing. “You people know I could step on him and squish him like an ant, right? But you trust me…okay, I will watch him today and in a few months you can put him on that sheep.”

Thanks for putting up with me and my MONTANA addiction! More to come over the weekend! Until then, hitch your buffalo to my wagon and we will round up the sheep for the kids to ride later on!
