My daughter Meredythe Wedding, her husband Joey, with their dog Copper, all pile in the truck and start their journey to a Christmas lunch at ELK Horn Lodge in the snowy mountains of Montana.

Every where they look it is so beautiful to see the snow covered mountain ranges but soon they are down to a crawl if not stopped completely for what was ahead in the highway.

Let’s have a look-see…………….it’s a cattle drive with cowboys on horses accompanied by dogs. It’s our lucky day!

Traffic at a stand still !!!!

The cowboy on his horse with his dog along the side..

And they finally arrive at their destination ELK HORN LODGE

INSIDE

MENUS  AND HISTORY OF LODGE

And now for their Christmas lunch here in the beautiful snowy mountains they both so love. IS ANYONE HUNGRY! A Montana French Dip Sandwich! Wow! Roast beef, peppers and cheese on a sub-roll to dip in au jus. YUM!

The Elk Horn Lodge was as far into the mountains as one could travel by car or truck as the road was closed because of snow drifts. Now, with tummy all warm and happy, to journey homeward.

Another cattle drive. We really struck good luck today. So here we go again at a crawl and then stop as the cattle just don’t want to clear the way. So…………….we wait! And take more pictures.

Don’t run over me!!!!!! I have the road!

See Baldy Mountain in the distance beyond these Hereford cows. It is named Baldy because it is so high trees can’t grow there.

And so we come to the end of of a perfect day in beautiful south western Montana where my daughter Meredythe said “You can’t wrap up all that beauty and place it under your Christmas tree.”

AND………..HOW RIGHT SHE IS!!!!
