Day Nine: Purple Mountains Majesty and Amber Waves of Grain

Today was a short travel day – From West Yellowstone to Missoula, Montana. We packed up the Cube…here’s what the fully packed Cube looks like:

We have a cooler/pseudo refrigerator (it has a fan that runs from the cigarette lighter) that keeps food cold and allows us to pack picnic lunches on the road.

We headed out of the mountains around West Yellowstone and down to the plains of Montana. On our trip, we really did see purple mountains majesty and amber waves of grain:

We travelled through more plains and eventually came to the mountains the closer we got to Missoula.  Here are some pictures we got from the car:

Tomorrow is a very long travel day as we travel from Missoula to our ultimate destination: Seattle.

Happy journeys!
