Montana turns one

My apologies. I have been too busy and uninspired to post lately. I did have to post a photo today, however, as it's Montana's first birthday.

Things to know about Montana...

The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806 was the first group of white explorers to cross Montana. Hard on the heels of the expedition arrived the fur trappers and traders. Trappers brought alcohol, disease and a new economic system to native populations. The fur trade was mostly over by the 1840's due to dwindling supplies of beaver, and the loss of popularity of the beaver hat.

I think we should bring back the beaver hat!

I disagree. Montana would eat the hat.
