The drive is going great.
We stopped in Bannack today, and I showed the rangers the panorama that I had with me. They were suitably impressed. Although no one wanted to buy it 🙂
AS we were driving we noticed a lot of smoke plumes in Idaho and Montana. We were driving toward one. It was coming up to Helena from the south west, it had topped the ridge as we went by. You could see the flames from the highway. I stepped on the gas pedal a little harder so we could get by fast. I bet they closed the highway after we went through. Lots of smoke, the air was turning red.
We are safe in Great Falls and should be home tomorrow.
