Welcome to Montana




This sign is at a rest stop on I-94 headed to Billings Montana.


The wind in North Dakota is notorious. When I would mention winter weather, people always said "Oh, the wind is awful." All homes, even in the city, have wind breaks. New homes have short young trees, and older homes have tall
ones. It's not just one row of trees; it's three, planted eight or ten feet apart and on at least two sides. I don't want to have any personal experience with a wind that gets that kind of respect.

We are now in Billings, Montana. The weather is beautiful, 70 and sunny. Perfect on the motorcycle.

Our campgground is next to the Yellowstone River, with low mountains behind the river. If we drive up to the rim above town and look west, we can see snow capped mountains that I think are the Tetons.
Our neighbors yesterday had a large German Shepherd. Bella, fresh from her victory over the rabbit, showed no fear. Earl the cat hid all day.
Today July 3rd, is our 33rd wedding anniversary!
