That’s really good advice, Louis! Absolutely. We should enjoy the trip and not solely focus on arriving. In the end, we may shave off some time but not that much by rushing. Thanks for reading!

Your road trip to Montana sounds like a wonderful ritual, Daniel. And so cool your grandfather built a log cabin there for the family. You must be a day or so away from your destination. Enjoy!

We made it! Yes, we are blessed to have the cabin. At the time, no one had property in this area but now it’s nearly impossible to build. It’s a treasure for our family. Thanks for reading and the kind words, Jeanine!

An absolutely beautiful, rich and fascinating read. Your Newsletter IS MY TRAVEL experience! BTW - was blown away by your article on the "sea gypsies" - citizens of any country? - and their brightly painting homes!

Thank you so much Mary! Your words motivate me to keep writing. I must say your daily art brightens my day as well. You’re so talented and it’s wonderful you share your creations with the world.

Great tip with the frozen water bottles, Dan. I’m heading on a road trip through the Pacific NW and on to Canada soon, so definitely want to check out Klamath Falls

Thank you, Ashleigh! So cool you’ll be in the area. Klamath Falls is worth a stopover. Definitely Crater Lake if you have the time (we didn’t but next time!).

Crater Lake is 100% on my list! I’m trying to visit as many national parks as possible 😊

Hi Daniel, How kind of you to recommend my substack to your readers. I am soooo jealous of you as you are heading to one of my favorite places on earth - Montana! I can hardly wait to read what you post about the land I love! When we moved to Texas from Alberta, Canada, people often asked me what I missed the most about living in Canada, and I told them, "Whitefish, Montana."

If you haven't stopped along your journey to check out Crater Lake, I hope you will plan on spending some time there. It is really quite fascinating and world-renowned.

Safe travels, my friend, and have fun in Montana!

It’s my pleasure Lois! Your posts are very engaging and fun to read.

That’s wonderful you’re familiar with Montana. It’s for sure a treasure trove of beauty. I haven’t been to Alberta or Texas, but both seem to offer lots of unique landscapes as well! We’re having a relaxing time but it’s chilly. Thanks for the comment and the kind words!
