I was in absolute awe of the scenery that surrounded us.....I could post hundreds of pictures here (and maybe I already have.....I don't know)..... We passed another lone antelope in the fields..... .....more silos and out buildings..... Somewhere north of Highwood, Montana, we left...

AbleGuy.....your weather down there sounds brutal.....it's just the opposite here. I had the heat on for a bit this morning. Regarding your question about me leading a group.....I couldn't think of a worse candidate. I never know when I'm leaving, where I'm going, nor when I'll return. I camp in...

We drove just a few miles further north and made our next stop at the Al Buck Memorial Park ..... Al Buck Memorial Park was open for business..... Now this little roadside picnic area had a secret.....and I'll just bet that nearly 100 % of travelers that pass by here never even see it...

We continued north on Highway 89 and made our next stop at a roadside scenic overlook above Belt Creek & Sluice Box Canyon..... From that vantage point I noticed a footpath paralleling the meanders of Belt Creek.....we were ready for a hike..... We were all anxious to get out and stretch...

The next stop was in Neihart, Montana .....I have no idea why we stopped here.....possibly I felt like being inconvenienced (the sign)..... Neihart, Montana is a former mining town.....there's a bunch of informative signs for people like XP member Foy (you know.....all about the rocks)...

Now the trail took us along the meanders of Belt Creek..... Nearly the entire stretch of Belt Creek that we saw, was covered in fallen logs (as you can easily see in these photographs).....but what puzzled me about those fallen logs were the ends of the logs.....they all appeared to be cut by...

rfseabc.....thanks for the link and I'll check it out shortly. We're holed up in the camper waiting on the high winds to die down..... We continued driving north on Highway 89 and the goal now was simply to find a spot to spend the night.....preferably with Verizon internet access. We drove...

Foy.....I'd never heard the term Island Ranges but I get it. I've spent most of the past two decades exploring western Montana and the bigger mountains but now I find myself wondering if I would have liked these just as much back then ? Am I changing with age & experience or was it always that...

ITTOG.....your situation seems to be a bit more complicated than mine. My pain begins each morning in the left groin area, moves to the exterior of the hip as the day progresses (much like you). I feel like I'm so early into the diagnosis. My medical doctor friend & the physical therapist have...

Foy.....thanks a lot.....I've decided just yesterday that central Montana is definitely my favorite part of the state. I love the gently rolling hills, the skies that seem to go on for forever, the various smaller mountain ranges covered in forest and wild grasses. And probably the least...

Finally the skies had cleared..... But the roads.....well, they'd just need some more time..... We spent that evening & the following morning enjoying the rivers' crystal clear water and the songs of the abundant songbirds that seemed to be just about everywhere..... The...

At the intersection with Highway 294, we turned right and then drove in a northeasterly direction.....several years ago we had traveled the same route and I recalled a small town, Lennep, Montana, which we had passed by without a stop and I had regretted not stopping.....but this time we did...

We had a 15 mile drive back out to Highway 89..... .....and we needed a new plan..... And then I got to thinking that maybe I don't need a plan.....I thought that I'd just wander around Montana and see what crossed our path..... So Plan C is to wander.....and to wander is actually...

ITTOG.....I'm curious as to what's causing you to get these surgeries ? I started physical therapy, went 3 times, then hit pause, and here I am. The physical therapist told me that it's possible that I could end up with hip surgery as well but I've got a few more months of physical therapy...

I hated to leave behind the southern peaks of the Crazy Mountains..... As we headed out we admired the Absaroka Range that laid to the south beyond the Yellowstone River..... But there's always more to see.....we drove north looking for drier grounds..... The back roads we drove are...

pkripper.....I carry a copy of Alone In The Wilderness in my truck camper. From time to time I'll browse the book.....in so many ways I envy & admire the man as he had the courage to live out his dream. Sometimes when I look back at my own life I wonder how different it could have been had I not...

With all the rains & snow melt that southern Montana has experienced as of late, Rock Creek was flowing high and fast..... Trapper was the first to attempt a crossing.....she was almost immediately swept off her feet and away she went..... The channel I'd guess was maybe two feet...

JD.....it's been unbelievable the amount of money that I've not spent on this project. I've transplanted nearly one hundred trees at almost no cost. I've been able reuse so much of the wood that I demo-ed last year. And then there's all the wood that I've scavenged off of the hoarders' property...

We spotted plenty of deer this morning but these two were sensational as they ran at full speed in parallel with the roadway for nearly a mile..... We passed by a ranch house and the old out buildings alongside..... .....and four silos sitting on a hilltop..... .....and there was that...

So here we go.....after a night spent in the Bridger Mountains..... .....we hit the road.....the early morning sky above the Bridgers was looking real good..... .....we drove east.....spotted a coyote hunting along the roadside..... .....and we continued on eastward.....passed by a Bald...
