Montana

We had another early start this morning. Had to dump our tanks and fill up with water and then we were on our way shortly after 7:30 am.  We took Highway 90 up across the border into Montana and  up and across through Billings and then we took  the 87 to Lewistown. We were originally only going to go as far as Roundup but we got to Roundup around noon and could not see the point of quitting then so we carried on.

We saw some spectacular country today. Had to stop once to take some pictures but most I just took while we were driving.

As you can see we still had some mountains in view  today.

There were some bits of snow lying around throughout the day.

This is my "almost perfect" shot of the day.  Due to the bright sunlight I could not see in my monitor so was just guessing . Unfortunately, I missed most of the mountains. But on the bright side I did get the moon and the beautiful sky.













The landscape changed a lot throughout the day. We saw everything from flat land like in the picture below

to beautiful rolling landscape with mountains in the background like this one below.

 Several miles east of  Lewistown on Highway 87

It was an amazing day.














We drove into Lewistown and discovered  a pretty town with beautiful scenery all around us. We decided it would be a perfect place to end the day.  After getting set up  we walked to the 4 Aces for a lovely lunch of taco salad and just relaxed there for awhile.

The room off the restaurant was a Casino so we decided to try our luck again. My luck stayed true to form. I lost about $6.00 on a nickel machine. Anna was playing the only penny machine in the place and won $100.00. This woman is some kind of lucky.

We took a walk about the town and took some pictures of some beautiful old buildings.

Downtown Lewistown 

Can you believe this building was built in 1904?













 We stopped at an Art Gallery that had some very nice  paintings, mostly from Montana artists. I would loved to have brought a couple of them home with me.

We returned to the MH and decided to just veg out for the evening so we can get an early start tomorrow. We are planning to go to Shelby tomorrow and then home the next day. Not long now.

Keep warm.
