Speaking of being back...I just got back from a wild trip to near Ft Peck.
Monday, the day I left, was the day from hell.
Beginning 2 minutes from home with me and Squeeze fishtailing 90degrees twice down the middle of an icey Baker Ave in WF....
Coming to a stop across the road blocking both lanes
Thankfully it was about 6 AM and zero cars.
And Monday just went downhill from there
I'll do a TR in the Non Park section.
I'll have some snaps that give those who have never driven the Hi-Line a taste of what that road is like.
Lame as the pics may be, you'll get a pretty good idea of why they call Montana "Big Sky" country.
Those endless miles of countryside look bleak, but there is a beauty to that vastness that is hard to put in words or pictures.
The last pic is the road this AM. Two hours I drove on that very frosty covered road, and it was scary slick in place....
I was driving an Ford F250 Super Duty diesel towing a 16ft enclosed "toy hauler" with brand new studded tires.
White knuckled it a few times going down hill, and once as I passed a guy.
Link to sunrise leaving this AM... near Ft Peck.
Not great because I was shooting out the window and was in a hurry. 8:45min drive--436 miles today

later
I'll be posting some pics I liked in the post following this one. The slide show link above has all of them.
Keep in mind these are NOT great pictures, or even good snapshots, since most were taken with one hand, through the windshield, driving that truck and trailer rig 60-80mph. I put the self timer on 2 seconds, and then tried to get cam(on a minipod) in position for the pic.
Not easy if you don't wanna wreck
