Hi Tom
My wife and I took a short trip in August. we passed through Montana and Idaho on our way East and returned to Seattle along US Hwy 2. Thought you might like to see a couple of pictures.

The following picture, which was also sent to me by Mike Kinney has circulated all over cyberspace without the identity of the photographer. He was John McColgan, a fire behavior analyst working as a firefighter. It was taken from a bridge over the Bitterroot River with a digital camera. John is from Alaska. Since he was working as a Forest Service firefighter, the shot is public property and cannot be sold, but it is a fabulous shot. The fire overran 100,000 acres and destroyed 10 homes.

The deer fire print was given to me by a forest worker while I was in Helena. It is nice to know who the actual auther is.
