"WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONTANA." Montana by dutch_anna

I have to confess, that I was only one afternoon in Montana. Travelling from Utah to Yellowstone National Park,Wyoming, you drive for a short time through Montana. But there is that village West Yellowstone and I have very good memories of it. Well, not exactly the weather, it started to snow at our arrival. But we parked the RV and found a coffeeshop and that turned out to be a very good idea. Not only that they had good coffee and delicious cake, but adjoining was a wonderful bookshop. Before you were allowed to enter you had to finish your coffee first. I love books, so I knew what they meant. No coffeestains on those books. I am a bookworm, so this shop, The Bookpeddler, made my day. Other bookworms know the feeling. You lose your idea of time, looking around. When at last I had made my choice, my fellow travellers already standing on the doorstep, I paid and on the receipt I read : THANK YOU FOR READING. I told you, it made my day.
All this and Yellowstone too!
Remember the Bookpeddler!

The other day I saw on TV the movie "The Horse Whisperer". Largely shot in Montana. Wow, what a scenery! I now know for sure, that I have to go back!

"Free Speech"...the mantra of Montana. Well, that said with a flag in one hand and a gun in the other. I have never felt safer anywhere.
