Bilbo: “I want to see mountains again, mountains Gandalf…” I feel like Bilbo, and, miss the beauty of Montana. Taken this past summer.

5 mile bridge

my favorite bridge

When I ride my bicycle west I pass over this bridge. Below are links to other images of this bridge that I have posted on this blog. I stop here each time to pray, drink some water, and enjoy the surroundings. It is my favorite bridge.

I wrote about our recent trip to Montana here. This was taken after we took a truck ride up to the top of a mountain (I think it was called Granite Peak).

Taken at Devil’s Lake, in Wisconsin, back in April. I went there to spend a couple of days hiking with my oldest son. It was a very chilly, cloudy, day – not the best day for photographs. For some reason, I was drawn to this image. Hope you enjoy.

So, geographically speaking, this pretty much sums up the part of the mid-west that we live in. Lots of corn and soy bean fields… lots! I must admit, that after living here a few years, I have come to appreciate the beauty of the plains. Having a 360 degree horizon is cool… and… well… there’s the corn…. and…uh… soy beans….?…..    🙂

Illinois River

Taken during a ride this past Tuesday. The weather here has been exceptional for August: refreshingly cool days and near chilly nights! The Illinois River is not what I would call a "majestic" river, but in this image, the river looks pretty good!

Custer National Forest

This was taken during a hike in the Woodbine Campground Area of the Custer Naitonal Forest. We hikle a little over a mike to a spectacular view of a waterfall in the mountians. You can read about this area here.

We have finished our work with campers who are in the foster care system of the state of Montana. We had a wonderful experience loving on these children and enjoying the activities with them. The state of Montana partners with Beartooth Mountain Christian Ranch to provide a camping experience for kids in their foster care system. It was also a bittersweet time, knowing that many of these campers are in hard circumstances in their young lives. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and hope to return next year. This year we took an extra day in our schedule to enjoy this part of the world. This was taken during a hike in the Woodbine Campground Area of the Custer National Forest. We hiked a little over a mile to a spectacular view of a waterfall in the mountains.

We recently had the opportunity to spend some time in New Buffalo, MI. This is a small, beautiful lakeside town on the east side of Lake Michigan.
