Another road day. We started with straight roads with great mountain vistas it was early enough in the day we saw many antelope scattered in the hills grazing, they are a tough animal to take pics of, they really blend right into the scenery.
Looks like coal is on the move in the USA. 
A rest stop with picnic tables, check out how Montana is prepared for windy conditions. What a great system. 
We entered what looks like hoodoo country. Miles of hills eroding in delightful shapes
We did piss off the GPS by deviating from the fastest-most-direct-route by choosing a scenic byway, GPS had fits for miles. Sure it took a little longer but a great road to break up the freeway fun. As we entered the scenic byway the rangeland full of sage had a purple haze to it. None of the distant pics show the color properly, but we had stopped on the roadside and found a few plants that may be responsible for the coloration.
Many cabins closer to Great Falls, with the river up against the road, the cabins each have their own bridge for access. Its obvious they pay for their own bridges by the diverse designs and quality. We complain about dumping a little gravel on our driveway every few years. I’ll bet these bridges are not cheap to maintain
Scot was happy to find the O’haire Motor Inn had vacancy, spent a little time checking out the Sip and Dip with their long standing Mermaid entertainment, there was a Merman too. Equality is wonderful thing.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Canada Day by crossing back to the North side of the 49th!
