Like the old summer cabin
Marty’s photo of the day #3911: Deb, Nellie, and I are returning to Montana’s Prairie Reserve this summer. We reserved the same yurt as last year, but for a longer stay. Being able to rent a yurt kind of reminds me of when I was a kid in Minnesota and having the family cabin to […]
