Montana Vacation


I've just returned from vacation at the Covered Wagon Ranch in Montana. Not a lot of writing, but a lot of recharging and exploring! Enjoy a few pictures from our adventure!

 
A rainbow at the bottom of the Lower Falls in Yellowstone.
 

 
Horseback riding at the ranch
 

 
Meadow lake - the view from one of our rides
 
 
Old Faithful at Yellowstone - it was interesting to see all the geothermal features in Yellowstone. I wrote a book a few years ago about geothermal energy. It's amazing to see in person!
 
Did you know that Yellowstone sits on top of a super volcano? For an interesting look at what could happen if that ever erupted, try the YA read Ashfall by Mike Mullin. It's the first in a trilogy that deals (fictionally of course) with what might happen if that disaster scenario actually happened. I picked up the second book in the trilogy at this year's ALA conference and can't wait to read it!
