On the Road
Back in MONTANA: It’s been almost a year since I left this beautiful area near Glacier National Park at the beginning of 2024. Back then, it only really started to snow on the day I got on the train to Seattle. This time, I was greeted by a blanket of snow at the beginning of December. That same morning I had boarded the plane in San Antonio, Texas, at 26 degrees Celsius and that afternoon I got off in Kalispell at 26 degrees Fahrenheit (about 3 degrees below zero Celsius). Quite a temperature shock. But that’s why I chose Montana in winter: to experience real winter again. And that includes snow. As a child, it was literally meters deep on our doorstep. To feed the chickens and two horses here on the farm near Whitefish, I have to put spikes under my boots so that I don’t slip on the ice. Afterwards, I accompany Gino, the young Rhodesian Ridgeback, on the ATV along the trails on the extensive property over hill and dale. One more new experience.
