A Monday Drive Across Montana


 As we entered Montana we could not help but notice that there is very little trash along beautiful US 2.  It is not because the travelers are tidy and conscientious out here,  but instead it is because of the "Adopt A Highway" program in Montana.  We see these signs constantly as we travel along. .  The same is true of the program in Minnesota, as their roadsides are fairly litter free.

These Pronghorn Antelope were close to the road and easy to photograph.  We saw two different groups today.  Pronghorns are second only to a cheetah in speed.  FYI

Small casinos are everywhere in Montana, even at gas stations.  This is Karen's Terrain that we are driving as we left Bill's truck at home.  We are getting 30 MPG.


Any reader of this blog is probably burned out on train pics, but here is your last one.  This Montana train was 1-1/3 miles long and was only transporting petroleum tankers.  Warren Buffet would be proud as he owns most of the Burlington Northern Rail Line.


We pulled into this motel at Shelby, Montana fairly early in the afternoon after driving only about 400 miles today.  As you can read - this Comfort Inn has plenty to offer.


The small RV park next to the motel was nothing special, but it also had three rustic cabins as well as a central bath and shower building.

We took a drive around Shelby to check out the town and found this interesting house and yard above.  This person must have a bicycle fetish or perhaps he is just a hoarder??


We are now about 90 miles east of Glacier National Park, and will be heading there tomorrow.
