Montana
2374 miles.
The good:
Western Montana
Yellowstone
Moose
Bison
Bald Eagles
Grand Teton Mountains
Buffalo prime rib
Amazing family
Indoor waterslide at your hotel
People that watch your dog for a week and a half on short notice
Losing a couple pounds while feeling like you were constantly stuffing your face
Geysers
Rivers
Waterfalls
Trees
Genuinely friendly people
Cute sleepy Squirrels passing out the moment their head hits the pillow, glasses still on their face
The bad:
People who stop 20 feet past a sign that says "No stopping next 1/4 mile due to wildlife preservation area"
Altitude sickness
42 of 48 hours in a small car or sleeping on double beds with 4 people
Arriving home at 4:30am after 17 hours straight driving to parking lot construction forcing you to park nowhere near your house
Not being able to just stay in Montana permanently right then and there
Bug bites
Speeders clobbering Elk
Working (no matter how little) on your vacation
The ugly:
