Foy.....I don't know if that bar or really anything else was open during our brief stop here. I took some pictures of the downtown area and parked there. Then we hiked up that gravel road that was gated & posted as closed. I do think that you're correct about the road name. I just couldn't...

I've been watching your channel for quite some time now and just now realized that I'm not a subscriber (don't worry.....just changed that). Your videos are really well done and you have some great content. It's awesome to see you posting here. Thanks.....

We spent the next few days and nights hanging out alongside this roadway whose name I can't recall..... Often when I write about the prairie, I write about the silence and the loneliness of these lands..... These truly were once again the dominant features of these wide open spaces...

AbleGuy.....thank you. That's unfortunate that you didn't do a trip report since your writing style is very entertaining. I sometimes comment that the only reason I'm here on XP is to read other trip reports and to post my own. All that being said, I definitely understand. These days I often...

Foy.....I was once on that same stretch of road that you speak of in the Jeep.....it was after a storm and I didn't make it too far up that road that day. Those dirt roads quickly become impassable (as the signs that are posted everywhere state). Your story reminds me of the first time my ex...

furbucket.....exactly.....and sometimes I love nothing more than anything..... Sierra Valley.....I'm not so sure that I ever left but thank you..... chet6.7.....oh yeah I understood. That song brings back fond memories of my youth. What I would give to be wild & young again..... PNWY.....for...

But of course we did leave but we didn't go too far. We came across a turn off for Jakes' Reservoir so we decided to take that road to.....once again, see what we could see..... We set up our next campsite a few hundred yards from the lakes' shoreline with the views from the campers' window...

vintageracer.....the Jeep is sitting in the driveway. I rarely take it on the "local" trips anymore and if I do, it's specifically because I think that I'll need it to access some special place. I regret not having taken it on this trip. It definitely would have been useful...

The following morning we took one last walk.....it was fairly early. The dogs ran along and through the tall grass that grew on either side of the road. The deer and the antelope were out early as well.....grazing on the hay that grew underneath the windmills..... At one point I saw this big...

The windmills..... I love the windmills......now I'm not saying that I want to see windmills everywhere that I go.....but a windmill farm here and there.....well, they don't bother me one bit.....which is surprising to me cause I, for the most part, hate most man made things constructed in...

The month of August in 2025 was a hot and dry one in southwest Montana.....the days were long and that relentless sunshine soaked up what little moisture was in the ground. My neighbor that would tend to my 200 Norway Spruce and my well over 300 Quaking Aspens in the past had moved away in...

Everyone that follows this thread knows that I love reading so I thought that after so many travel pictures and short stories, that I'd close this out with my summer readings..... Sandstone Spine.....yes, I've read another David Roberts authored book....."Seeking Anasazi on the First Traverse...

These poor guys..... .....must hate roping contests..... But the horses.....I think that's a different story. In my opinion, they were loving it..... People here came in many shapes and sizes..... But let's be honest.....this sport is overwhelming dominated by white males over...

Kingsize24.....if you're a hiker, love the backcountry, and enjoy solitude, then you'll love exploring in this mountain chain..... Foy.....you're so right. The ultra wealthy have discovered this place and they're out to make it their private playground as much as they possibly can. I was just...

I thought for sure that we'd see tracks from wild animals here along the shoreline but again we came up empty handed.....the only footprints to be seen were ours..... At the upper end of the first lake we had to make our way back to the well troddened path.....there was just too much...
