St Mary, day 7, home

St Mary, Montana local security patrol vehicle. St Mary is super small. And part of it is slapped together by seasonal folks trying to make a seasonal living with limited resources indicative of the wild frontier.

Wild is wild.

Ain’t no sugar coating this.

As i sit in one of our two comfortable collapsible chairs on our West Motel ‘front porch’, all i can think about is how our prioritized priorities, after decades of honing, have led us to sitting here doing nothing but reveling in our semi-charmed life.

Super lucky to have a ‘extra large covered porch’.

Our view is the one of most spectacular Motel parking lot views ever. Rivaled only by Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and Rising Sun Motor Inn.

Glacier used to be a shallow ocean.

Then the plates shifted.

The Continental Divide now has stromatolite fossils on mountain tops and mountain passes.
