The wall drawings are starting to fade fast from just normal weather wear, most have been documented pretty well.

As the wear has naturally happened other layers of pictographs have emerged

Home of the "largest" dino excavated to date. Great place to and very reasonable. They offer off site digs (for a few) in the Egg mountain range. Staff is great and all active geologist - paleontologist and great with the kiddos.

Nice! Please keep them coming.

Just starting to plot/scheme/plan a return to Big Sky Country for 2015. Nice photos and nice older iron.

Love Montana..

When i saw your first pic i thought i had finally found the person/vehicle i saw a few times in the NF outside Dillon. White earlier Ram with older camper.. but this one had a custom looking ladder and rack on top. Looked to be a very well outfitted rig.

Wheat, MT!

Instantly recognized the "herd of horses" sculptures at the jct of US 287 and I-90 at Wheat, MT! I can almost smell the fresh baked goods and coffee at the awesome café/store there.

Thanks for posting. Keep 'em coming.

YUM!! indeed.

Well Foy might be a while for the next trip, this one took a pretty good toll on the outfit,
LR caliper leaking, tripping the ABS and brake light switch,
Check engine light on from something messed up from the dual battery / tray I installed from a CTD. EVAP sys-motor hose probably...
Broke the front and rear lift boards in the camper.
Water tank drain plug cracked the tank.
Trans hose leaking at the cooler inlet of the radiator, bad.
Lower rad hose leaking (new!)

Have some work to do before the next trip across the state.
