Once in a Lifetime~Once a Year: Bozeman/Livingston and More Pics

So we made it through the desert of NE CA and SE OR to Montana after making 1000 miles in 2 days. We got to the Sebren's and just chilled while the kids played. They were all so glad to see one another that the three picked up just like there was not a year gap in between visits. We all got up the next morning and went to a spot near Bozeman in the Bridger range for the next two nights. It was a fantastic spot we would have never found as it was completely undeveloped just down the rough road from the developed forrestry service campground. Had it all to ourselves and the kids had a great time collecting water, playing soccer and poking around in the fire. On day two we took the kids on the "adult hike" because we couldn't figure out the sitter situation. They made it like rockstars to the top of Sacajawea Peak at 10,000 feet (tallest in the Bridgers) and recieved many wows from friends and onlookers alike. Shell and Molly sledded on a rainjacket down about 700 feet along a quarter-mile snow drift instead of walking one section of the return. Anyway, we spent last night with Eric in Livingston where we smoked ribs and homemade poppers and planned where we are going today . . . the Beartooth/Absaroka wilderness area. There will be no service there for the next few days so if you are planning on calling Ash just leave a message and we'll call back when we can! Camp is at 9,200 and 34 degrees tonight!!!

Here are some more pictures from July 2nd thru the 5th. Trying to catch up on the pics!
