The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman

 We woke up in Bozeman, to another warm and sunny Montana day.

We drove to the nearby Museum of the Rockies near the campus of Montana State University and were the first ones in the door when it opened at 9:00 am.  On the way in Bill talked to an older employee who was originally from Kalamazoo.  (What a small world it is - He went to high school at Kalamazoo Christian.)

Move over Chicago Sue, as Big Mike, another  T-Rex, just might have been one of your boy friends!

Here is a replica of a dinosaur nest. 

And here is an actual fossilized dinosaur nest.

Many of the displays were found in Montana.

Big Mike was not the only T-Rex on display.

The Museum of the Rockies had the best and biggest display of dinosaurs that either of us had ever seen and we will not bore any reader with details.  However, we were not taking notes but instead a few pictures to show you.

This shark-type dinosaur could have been hungry and dangerous.

And this turtle-type creature of long ago was huge and impressive.

The displays of ancient creatures went on and on and were interesting to see. 

After the dinosaur displays the museum showed other Rocky Mountain vehicles like this old stagecoach.

And this 1922 Oldsmobile that was built in Lansing, Michigan.

The Museum of the Rockies was great!  By 11:00 am were were on the road toward home.  The temperature hit 89 degrees as we drove toward Bismark, North Dakota to spend the night.
