My wife and I are starting up our second day of travel as we drive west to Montana’s Big Sky, where family and friends wait for our arrival.  

During the next three weeks, my posts on Big Sky Buckeye will be taking a vacation as well.  I will stay in touch when I have a free moment, and when my tablet has an Internet connection.  My mother’s home doesn’t allow me to communicate on the World Wide Web, but time will definitely be filled up with catching up with family and sampling a taste of Montana once again.

We are planning to visit one of my blogging acquaintances while in Montana.  There will likely be more written about this rendezvous in a later post.

In the meantime, enjoy some previous photographs from Montana, also known as the “Treasure State.”
