better, but not quite; jailbait for 3 more days, anyway


http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/IMG_6020.jpg




train dumped a load of corn here years ago; place was lousy with bears for quite a while

some places are best seen in the rear-view mirror, heading out of town; this is one of those places

the local inhabitants and birds voice their disappointment

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/IMAG0005.jpg




was planning on spending a couple days but made the mistake of checking in with home base; repair skills needed ASAP so back in the car (scenery makes the drive easy)

Scott, I was thinking you were in Virginia and trying to figure out your photos until I got to Camp Disappointment, than realized you are in Montana. Nice pictures. Thanks for taking us along. Jim
