HAVING FUN YET
WE ARE GETTING CLOSER

As the 3rd largest continent, North America contains 9.1 million sq. miles.
Population consists of 360 million inhabitants, and was named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian navigator, in 1497.
North America holds two main mountain ranges, including the Appalacians and the Rockies; the highest point being on Mt. McKinley (20,320 ft. above sea level), the lowest in Death Valley (-280 ft. below sea level).
North America is also home to the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior.

This map shows the particular area in North America we are headed.
We are getting closer and closer to that beautiful Bitterroot Valley in Western Montana.

Well we have arrived at the United States of America and here we have a map of all the states except for Alaska & Hawaii.
I am sure you can see Montana quite well but let us point it out anyway.

Well you can see that Helena is the capital of this state.
Helena is only 100 miles from our destination.
Not bad for starting in outer space--huh?
Now---just a little further.
