But my journey has begun! My father an I spent the afternoon winding our way through the back roads and highways of Montana to Browning, where I will be catching the train in the morning. On the way, we saw several bald eagles, numerous\u00a0 rough-legged hawks, a great blue heron and any number of mule deer. We tried to snap a few good pictures, but for the most part, the wildlife was shy and did not appreciate our pulling over. As we drove onto the Blackfoot Reservation, we passed some of the amazing sculptures from Jay Laber. He created these sculptures from scrap metal collected from the surrounding area. The University of Montana, in Missoula, also has an installment of his artwork. I would suggest anyone go look him up on Google, he has some incredible pieces!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-189 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000324-copy2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000324-copy2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-190\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-190'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Bald Eagle on the side of the road<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000349-copy2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000349-copy2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-191\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-191'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Rough Legged Hawk<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000350-copy1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000350-copy1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-192\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-192'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Rough-Leg as he flies from our car<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000357-copy1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000357-copy1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-193\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-193'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Entering the Blackfoot Reservation<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000360-copy1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000360-copy1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-194\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-194'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Jay Labor sculpture<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000362-copy1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000362-copy1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-195\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-195'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>close-up<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000369-copy1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2010\/01\/P1000369-copy1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-196\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-196'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>The Amtrak station in Browning.
