After 30-plus days, we're back in the Lower 48.....feels pretty good.
We drove through northern Montana and found it to be a lot like South Dakota and the Badlands. Here is a shot of the Missouri River Valley. We camped at the Louis and Clark State Park.
We were surprised to find the north central part of Montana to be in the middle of a oil boom. There were oil rigs, pumps, and trucks everywhere. We talked to a local and he said that a nearby town of 12,000 has grown to over 55,000 in just three years. He talked about the infrastructure not being able to handle the increase. A true boom town!
We are planning on rolling into Chillicothe sometime tomorrow afternoon. We just need that 95 Econoline to give us one more day.
