Mission

On John and I's trip we stopped by St. Ignatius, Montana. The following two pictures are of the McEntire Farm. My Grandfather was working for the government at Hill AFB, and up and decided to buy a farm in Montana. Everyone thought that he was crazy! But, so many good things have come from that decision. My parents later lived in the farmhouse and were living there when I was born. A year later they moved to a different house, but we lived in the area until I was six years old. Now a different family of no relation owns the land and lives in the farmhouse.

I think this was called Mission Reservoir. If you look closely, you can see there is a waterfall up in the mountains. We wanted to hike up to it, but the sweet french woman at the museum said that are lots of bears and cougars. It was already late in the day, and we didn't want to risk running into either of those in the dark. The Mission mountain range is gorgeous, but I didn't come home with any good landscape shots.
We also visited the catholic mission that started St. Ignatius......

It was beautiful inside....my favorite were the stained glass windows.

Up on the hill there is a little cemetary. My grandparents, as well as a few other family members are burried there. We stopped by and walked around for awhile there.

This stop on the trip will always be memorable for me. John had never been, and with there being so much family history there, he heard an earfull of memories.
