Self Portrait - Flathead National Forest - (Patreon)

Hello! My first set of March! 

This set comes to you from the wild woods of Montana. I was happily still napping and sleeping in my car a lot through these days. This was after I made the trek through Glacier National Park. Which was absolutely incredible! The peaks are tall, and the aura is something out of a novel. Everything was damp, foggy, and incredibly quiet. The winds were strong and merciless as they cut the rain right through you. 

It was not easy to be there. I had to stay in a terrible little hotel that lost power because it was far too cold to camp (the highest it was while I was in the area was 35 degrees, it was MAY!) I watched it snow, hail, sleet, and rain. It never let up, it never stopped. I drove around Glacier as much as I could, until.... it flooded, and everyone was told to try and get out of the area if they could. 

So I left, it became very difficult, and I wasn't having much luck with shooting at all. I spent the night in a campground a few hours outside of Glacier (where it was much warmer, and not raining, those mountains really mess you up!) 

I woke up the next morning and ventured to Flathead. It was beautiful, and just a taste of how wide and open Montana can really be outside the Rockies. Montana is insanely gorgeous, and I'm very sad this was my only set I got to take there. I highly recommend anyone to go there if you're up for some real adventures! They don't call it cowboy country for nothing. 

This was also a part of my trip where I became very lonely. I had no cell phone service while I was in Canada, and I still didn't have any even coming into the states. I was hours from an interstate and from anything familiar. Things would settle back into place in a few days once I go to Wyoming, but I remember how exhausted I was at this point. I had been in and out of hotels and cars, when I'm used to staying with people every once in a while. It's amazing, but it wears on you. I remember when I took this set, it made me feel refreshed and happy though. 

I hope you love this set
