Montana, too
I’m not sure whether this was a statement on road conditions or merely a general observation on life. Either way, it’s accurate:
This would be the aforementioned “rough break” if you failed to watch carefully.
The moon vacations on Bear Tooth Pass between Red Lodge, MT and Yellowstone. This pass is nearly 11,000 feet. Beware of mountain sickness.
Red Lodge is in a beautiful setting, but you may have to show a little courage about entering an eatery. And maybe dress like a dance hall girl. As it happens, this place had wonderful steaks. But we missed the pig races because they didn’t begin until seven.
The Gray Lady broke down in Three Forks. Of the eight businesses there, one was Ron’s Deisel Repair which had a sense of humor and a few extra minutes to rescue a couple more gray ladies of the two-legged variety. The chamber of commerce bills Three Forks as “Montana’s favorite small town.” They may be right.
Some working conditions are harder than others. At one point on the Going to the Sun road, one crane was holding another as it dangled over the side.
The construction crews in the national parks know how to choose flagpersons who can really stop traffic.
It’s worth the wait if you get views like this. Thanks for sharing my summer vacation here on the back nine.
