We left West Glacier this morning and followed US-2 through the Rockies for the last time. The first 30 miles were the usual woods and waters.
That gave way to the eastern slopes of the mountains.
Which became the foothills before we arrived at East Glacier.
And then the HOURS of flat land across Montana.
This state is endless...and we've still got another hour or so until we get to North Dakota. Now there's another place to get excited about. It's good that all that land exists for agriculture, but man, is it ever a monotonous drive. The biggest change from mile to mile is the yellow to black stripe in the middle of the road. Yellow, black, yellow, black, yellow, black... Oh look! Another pasture. You'd think they would at least plant a tree here and there.
So we're headed east now and probably won't have much opportunity at blog posting for a couple days. Because of the holiday, state parks were our only choice at campsites anywhere east of Duluth so we're park hopping the state parks across Michigan this weekend. Not that that's a bad thing. We've just been spoiled by all the amenities of commercial camps on our trip.
I'll do a wrap up of the journey in the next post.
