The day after Thanksgiving, Katie and I followed 

my brother-in-law and his wife to a ranch on the Powder River.

This watercolor is from photographs I took along the way. 

It was a five hour drive.  The last hour and a half was on unpaved roads. 

This image is not far from Bozeman along the interstate.
