the trip east


from seattle, washington, we first stopped through helena, montana, to spend the night with uncle willie & aunt kay, elle's honorary uncle & aunt from jungle days. willie, elle's old orchestra teacher, told the best stories, & kay made elk burger sloppy joes. then on to yellowstone with its geysers and snow, landing in cody, wyoming. the next day we wound through the bighorn mountains, our favorite stretch of the west we saw. onward we drove, over fields and plains, with music and secrets, on to the heartland we love.
