Super 8 Havre Mt

... our options a bit and in the end we just went for a short walk around an interpretative trail. It was still snowing and no one else was around. A view from a lookout point was quickly clouded in as the weather set in for real.

... cities there's not much to see in Montana. Huge fields of grain that go for miles, occasional groups of antelope too far away for a picture, and once in a great while you might see a tree or a barn - those are rare.

Once again the plan was to stay in Shelby, Montana, but it was only 2:30 by the time we arrived there so we moved on to Havre. Tomorrow we plan to get to Minot, N.D. but who knows...

... Malta can be told a "barefooter's paradise", and I enjoied
supporting the barefoot-lifestyle down there by showing barefoot-solidarity
in all situations. It was great to join - together with some other people,
wearing no shoes - a car ferry trip to the nighbouring island of Gozo - and
to get as black soles as possible!
Among the other tourists, I only met one other guy from USA, who ...

... border guard whether he lived at the crossing but he said home was about an hour's drive from the post. We didn't see any homes along this route.

Our next stop was Havre, a small town in northern Montana. When we arrived the police detoured us through the train yard and we were stopped at a train crossing for about 15 minutes. We learned later that a 12 year old boy had been killed by a grain truck and that was why all traffic was being detoured. Havre ...

May 23 was a stormy day in Joplin, Montana. In the photo, Don is passed by an 18-wheeler carrying an 83-ft long windmill blade. The windmills will be so huge that the container for the generators that will sit atop the windmills will be as large as a railroad car.

... dry and I was glad it was not any colder. I thought I would have to ski as the human popsicle, despite being from Canada I am such a wimp when it comes to cold. But it was good. The mountain worked us though, being only our second day out this season we had to keep stopping to catch our breath! I was sore the next day too! Did some cool Wyomingesque things in Jackson.....at this restaurant called the Gun Barrel I impressed my husband and the waitress by finishing most of the 20 oz of ...
