Tobacco Roots

Tobacco Root Mountains at sunrise, just West of Bozeman, MT
on our way to fish the Madison River in Beartrap Canyon.

This past Friday night after Malachi's baseball game, we packed the family in the car and headed to Bozeman to visit my brother Jake. We got there about midnight, got to bed a half hour after that, and then were up and at 'em by 4:30 AM Saturday morning in order to find some fish on the Madison River. All of which made for some very pretty scenery on Saturday, like this photo of the sun rising on the Tobacco Roots.

We didn't catch many fish, but we saw some beautiful country and had a great time nonetheless. If you are interested in more photos, you can browse the photo album under Sunday, June 5 2005.

[Addendum: Hey, I just noticed that if you look at the large, hi-res view of the picture up above, in the bottom right hand corner there is a cool little bluebird sitting on the fence. When you click on the full size image it will load in the browser, but it probably will be scaled to fit...click on THAT image and you should see the full, unscaled image...scroll to the bottom portion of the picture and there he is! Can you see it?]
