The Long Way Home
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin. This was the third place we’d tried in as many hours. The first one didn’t have indoor plumbing, which, of course, was completely unacceptable. Expedia had said nothing about that. The next one had seemed okay at first, except that it was too close to town, but it turned out that it didn’t have central heat and air – just a wood stove that didn’t even have a pilot light. But now we were coming up on a quaint little log cabin set on a hill, the smoke trailing out of its chimney painting an exquisite portrait against the white-and-brown backdrop of winter in Montana.
