We left a little late this morning because we were on the phone checking on my insurance. We are driving on Interstate 90 thru Idaho and now thru Montana. The countryside was really beautiful. We are in mountains and then rolling hills and then into some pasture and farmland where I think they are growing mostly alfalfa for hay. The mixture of colors is wonderful and the some of the trees are beginning to turn a little yellow.
Missoula is located in a large valley very spread out. I would like to come back here and visit some time. We saw this very tall smokestack that was used years ago which we had seen on the way up or last year and we also went past Butte. This was the town we found in which we found the pasties on the way to Alaska. I also had a good view of the large white statue of Jesus up on the mountain top.
We saw lots of antelope munching on the new green alfalfa that the ranchers were growing and also crossed the Yellowstone River a couple of times and it followed us along. We came into Reed Point, MT where we are spending the night in the Old West RV Park. Quaint little town but not much here. This Sunday they have a big sheep drive thru town and I guess there are vendors and the town is packed--we leave tomorrow morning. It would be interesting to see though.
