Our adventure begins in Bozeman, where five inches of snow fell yesterday. The locals said the snow wreaked havoc on the area 24 hours ago...but today it’s absolutely beautiful! The sky is sunny, the snow is glistening, and the cameras are rolling.
After flying into Bozeman around noon, David and I spent the afternoon driving around the area’s back roads filming and photographing the scenery. I’ve seen the deserts of the Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, the harbors of Maine in the fall, the southernmost point of the US in Key West, Florida, the clarity of the beaches in the Bahamas, and many other places and sites along the way...but I’ve never seen anything quite like this.
The whole city of Bozeman is surrounded by snow-covered mountains. There are shoots of golden wheat in all the fields piercing through the shimmering snow that is covering nearly everything. There are ducks playing on frozen ponds, mule deer bedding down in the sunshine, and pheasant dancing across open fields. It’s simply mesmerizing. Although most of the roads were clear, we found ourselves looking for shots on a few back roads that hardly seemed like roads at all...more like paths. It’s a good thing we rented a four-wheel drive. We even saw several cross-country skiers doing just that - skiing across the countryside.
It has been a great day. Tomorrow we’ll travel to Great Falls (2.5 hours north of Bozeman). We will film at Set Free Church, a church plant that is ministering to bikers in north central Montana. Pray for us as we travel and pray that all goes well with the video shoot tomorrow. Most of all, pray that God will use what we’re doing to grow His Kingdom.
