New Journal Entry

ImageAugust 8, Friday,

Justin contributed parts of this piece. Today, we woke up at, yes, 5:30 (Central), bright and early, and had a great breakfast at the hotel. We packed up our car and were on the road again by 6:40. At 10:37, we crossed the Mississippi River and entered Minnesota. At noon, we stopped at McDonald’s for lunch. We entered North Dakota at 3 PM. We went over the continental divide at 4 PM, At 6, we stopped for supper at Hardee’s in Bismark ND. For all you people who don’t know what Hardee’s is… it’s about the greatest burger you can ever have, and amazing fries. So yea, we all got amazing burgers. We also passed by Theodore Roosevelt National Park and saw the Painted Desert at Sunset.  Beautiful!  At 7:25 PM, MT, we entered Montana. We drove on a highway and saw about 15 deer, and didn’t hit any!

Nice pictures. I liked the one with the reflection of the mountain in the water and the one with the road at the base of the picture. Hope you guys are having a good time.

Wonderful scent! And you have a good camera and I believe your photography skills are wonderful and marvellous!

You ought to take more photo. Believe in yourself.... You make many people who haven't been to Canada want to go desperately! ( because I am from Malaysia, an Asian Country)

Good job!!!

There were 6 pictures, not 8. Also I spelled Johnston wrong.

Weather the last two days was gorgeous for painting.

The 8 pictures are neat. Quite a big bear! We didn't go that far in Johnson Canyon. Dad was recovering from a Migraine!!
