Tod and I took a journey through Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Puget Sound from the ferry to West Seattle.
Dick and Jane's folk art environment, which we stumbled across in Ellensburg, Washington.
A window in Missoula, Montana.
A mysterious sign in strip-mall Missoula.
Garnet ghost town, between Missoula and Great Falls.
When this Montana state trooper gave us a $20 speeding ticket, he said to T "hey, I think I just gave your dad a ticket!" It was true. Jerry's ticket was bigger.
Prelude to a Shriners parade in Great Falls, Montana.
My sister in law Wendy and nephew Clay at a unique Great Falls business.
The beautiful bride, our niece Kelsey, and Ty, her excellent groom. They were the reason for our trip.
At the wedding. The groom is from a large, catholic ranching family, and over 300 people came. There was a lot of praying and red meat.
Piano Pat plays Ring of Fire at the best bar in the world, the Sip N Dip in Great Falls. Note the Shriner in the background.
A mermaid entertains the patrons from the swimming pool behind the bar. The Sip N Dip alone justifies a trip to Great Falls.

Wow! Great to see these! Looks like you had a wonderful time. And, I'm sorry, but the trooper is totally cute. What a crazy coincidence, too.
Ah, memories. I went to a bachelorette party at the sin-n-dip once; of course the mermaid was off-duty that night. I hope you can picture what a crazy night that was.
It looks like you had a lovely trip!
It probably involved large blue drinks!
Good times.
L forgot to mention that we paid the trooper $20 cash, on the spot. Apparently that's how they do things in Montana.
What a great trip. What great photos. I must put Sip-n-dip on the must do list. It sounds fantastic.
Just FYI - I got one of those pay on the spot tickets in Montana too, and was excited to get off so easy - until insurance renewal time came up :( I guess they share that bit of info with California.
Great photos!
Luckily I have no insurance! Hee hee.
Well, the trooper told us it wouldn't affect our driving record, and anyway, like L says, we have no car and hence no insurance.
