Could Montana BE any bigger?
Shore fog greets us as we approach the mainland on the Orcas Island ferry Tuesday
By Liz
Second day of driving since leaving Orcas Island, WA, and I’m beginning to think what actually happened is that we stumbled into a Twilight Zone episode. We have been driving all day and we haven’t made it off the moon yet. In fact, didn’t we pass this same exit 3 hours ago? The one with the sign that says “Next Services 128 miles”? Theoretically we are supposed to make it to Custer, South Dakota, by midnight tonight, but we’ll see. Luckily for us we didn’t pack any handguns.
We have run across occasional spots of interest: There was the Wild Horse Monument somewhere in Washington. It is a series of metal horse sculptures sitting at the top of a tall butte in the middle of 300 miles of other buttes. Of course, it might have been a hallucination – not sure about that. We also passed signs for the Testicle Festival coming up at the end of July. We may see about Liz&Tim performing there next year. I bet it’s a ball.
Oh, and I have just one word for the truck stops around here: Taxidermy.
Actually, I’m just joking around – the scenery out here is beautiful. There’s just way too much of it.
