Ok, so it’s been a while since my last update. I’ve had a pretty intense few weeks, but it’s starting to slow back down again.
School is going well, and I’ve decided to make this year my last, and just finish the History BA instead of going on to the Geography MA. It just costs too much to go to school, and I really should be looking at getting a permenant job. That makes the short-term much less stressful – now I just need to find a job for next summer… I’ve got a few applications out for helitack jobs, and hopefully I’ll hear back from them by the end of November.
Here’s a few random pics from last week in the Swan:

The Swan Valley in the fall is something very special, with the larch turning as the mornings get crisp, and snow dusting the high mountains. The Swan isn’t the only place to look spectacular in the fall though. The Bitterroot Valley is also a sight to behold, as is the Blackfoot.
It’s my favorite time to be in western Montana, and is worth getting out and seeing on a sunny fall afternoon.
