Beyond the Next Horizon



My favorite part of the scenery



Self portrait



Sundays are the days we always ride (she says as if winter were not ever coming).  We're free to go and be. You just never know what you'll find around the next bend.  Bugs, gravel, truck traffic, holes, wind and rain notwithstanding, these are the days that delight us most and the ones that sustain us through the week.

We've found beauty, adventure, many nice roads and, to be sure, humor.  We've found some towns we certainly didn't know existed and many opportunities for Brent to help fulfill his goal of having a beer in every town in Monana. This isn't his only goal, but it's one of his more colorful ones. 

We've gone every direction from Savage.  North to within a few miles of the Canadian border, east as far as Westby, south to Medora and west to Wolf Point. 

Sweet statue in front of Culbertson School.

Fun little spot.  Great folks.  They are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new sign.  Stay tuned for the "after" photo.

On this particular day we found a road that skirted Medicine Lake and were surprised to see so many pelicans. In fact, there were small lakes all over, once again dispelling my assumption that this is desert country.  Here was our turnaround point last weekend. 

Each time we venture out we find wonderful people, awesome vistas and -

"Things that make you go hmmmmmm.....?"

  

In Brockton there's the Log Cabin Bar - built of corrugated steel.



The remodeled version is a definite inprovement.

  
- In Culbertson you will find "Rolling Hills Winery and Car Wash" (seriously)
- On 94E approaching Glendive, exit 192 is "Bad Route Road" 
- Exit 198 is "Cracker Box Road" 
- Exit 204 is "Whoopup Creek Road".
- I asked to have artichokes added to my pizza. The cook's comment: "You mean, like spinach?"





The striking similarity to our neighborhood bothers me a bit.  This one is Mars.

  Hmmmmmm....?
