Our next stop was in Winifred, Montana (population less than 200).....this was just another stop to stretch the legs..... .....and while walking around this little town we met up with this old guy that was headed into a store, and we began to talk.....and he says to me "you got to drive to...

Arjan.....it's the solitude.....that's what I like so much.....today I was close by Yellowstone National Park.....people, traffic, campers & RV's everywhere you looked.....thanks & you are welcome..... ITTOG.....looks like I may be headed down the same road as you.....last week I finally got an...

Now XP member Foy had stated that this next section of highway was steep.....he wasn't kidding.....it's rare that I use the steep descent function on my truck.....here I did..... So quickly the landscape changed again..... Above us as we descended I spotted an abandoned mine shaft...

Sierra Valley.....it's a different kind of beautiful there that's for certain.....there are no towering, jagged, snow covered mountain peaks.....there are no rushing rivers & waterfalls.....there are no gigantic trees and stunning forests.....just the simple beauty of nothingness is almost what...

We passed by the remains of a stone cabin.....no trees here for a log cabin..... My eyes fixated on this little perfectly formed mountain for quite some miles.....it couldn't have been more than a thousand foot climb.....unfortunately it was located on private fenced land..... I spotted...

tacototheworld.....I've noticed you guys get in some beautiful hikes.....I'm always wishing that you'd post tons more pictures of those hikes as you've seen & experienced some spectacular places..... Ace.....sure thing..... The second destination for the day was even more random than the...

Ace.....you doing OK ? Haven't seen you around lately..... vintageracer.....no, I don't think I'll be doing that. Tribal is directly related to community, and as much as I think I'd like to be a part of community, the reality is that I don't want to be a part of community any longer (subject to...

Foy.....yea I agree.....a few days after my visit I went onto Google to learn more about the tribe(s).....when one takes the time & energy to learn the history of our past, you know.....with today's mindset.....it's nearly impossible to believe what was done..... I say tribe(s) because this...

Since I was pretty much useless when it came to constructing teepees, I decided that the dogs and I would take a walk and check out our surroundings.....first off was the spot where the tribal members have their PowWows..... You can't help but wander around here and envision the festivities...

Foy.....I'm still enjoying Old Jules but it's a tough read.....I take it in short spits..... JD.....that whole checkerboard thing is outlandish.....for the life of me I still can't understand how the federal government let that happen..... ITTOG.....I actually went the opposite direction of...

I disagree with your wife....passing through does count ! I really enjoy seeing your family outings. These family outings are so much better than all my years on the road. The best days of my life were times like these.....when I went on adventures with my 2 boys. Enjoy every minute....every...

Sometimes in my travels people will say to me if you want to meet the locals, you've got to go to the bars.....maybe.....but I don't drink & I don't much care for the atmosphere.....on this Saturday afternoon there was a craft show and a community yard sale.....and I was right in there.....and...

AbleGuy.....this trip has turned out to be much like a float trip down the river.....we pretty much have had no idea as to what would be next, we've had no expectations, and we've pretty much had no plans. It's been a slow one like a river with no rapids, sometimes bordering on being...

Riversdad.....indeed they do.....I was reminded of a prison break in that particular instance.....that type of escape had never happened before (as best that I recall anyhow).....I guess that the pull of the river was just too much to handle if you're a Golden Retriever..... Foy.....Old Jules...

My guess is that these ferry rides last more no than several minutes.....maybe several hundred feet is the river width here..... Unlike the last river pilot that we had encountered, this river pilot had no problem with me exiting my vehicle..... I did choose to leave the dogs in the...

Foy.....I'm curious this morning.....did you by chance stop at the Cultural Center when you were in Big Sandy, Montana ? I purchased a book there that I believe you recommended to me more than a year ago. I had forgot about that book until I opened their door and it was the first book I saw...

So we're just driving these back roads not paying much attention at all.....listening to Cowboy music (not country.....there's a definite difference) on the radio..... Occasionally I'd hear Google Maps tell me to go left or right.....and occasionally there'd be no road right there when it...

Just below our campsite at Decision Point, there's a bridge that crosses the Missouri River.....we took it and drove south, then east.....Google Maps told me that it was a 29 mile drive to the next ferry across the Missouri River.....we weren't in any hurry and we stopped often.....the wheat...

Foy....."We found the McClelland Ferry guy to be amiable and the Virgelle Ferry lady operator to be downright effusive.".....I agree with you 100 %.....the Virgelle Ferry pilot lady is an awesome lady & thanks for the tips..... We connected with the main highway and headed east into Fort...

This was our first view of the Missouri River..... .....we passed through a small canyon.....as the road took us down to the river..... We had finally arrived at the Carter Ferry.....now I had no idea what the process was here.....I pushed the call button and waited.....and waited.....I...
