Let me apologize to start.  I left my camera in my truck for about a month and the lense was dusty and smudge when I took the picture.  Should have cleaned it first.  They also came out grainy.  Think I left it on the wrong ISO setting because I was in a hurry.  If anyone would like the full images PM me.  They are about 6 megs each.

No, it is actually in the pasture.  That road crossed the irrigation ditch and then goes to the right of the tree.

Montana doesn't do too bad with its roads.  But there are some paved ones that make a gravel road feel smooth.  Hopefully here soon I can get up in the mountains and show you what a real road looks like.

This is taken looking through one of the wheels on an irrigation wheel line.  I thought this was a cool pic.

Nice, Andrew!

The wife and I have been talking about maybe visiting Glacier Nat'l Park as a vacation.  I've only briefly been to parts of Montana, but I liked what little I saw!  You're very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place!

Glacier is absolutely amazing.  You could spend a month there and not run out of new things to see.  I think it is much better than Yellowstone myself.  There are some sweet hikes in Glacier.

If you do come out, make sure you let me know when.

Kind of looks like your sitting in an old fighter plane looking forward through the site.  Neat pic.

Will do, Andrew.  We've been tossing around the idea of maybe visiting the park next summer.  It looks beautiful from the pics!

I think there should be a DoD test range in Montana.  I'm going to work on that.

I am surprised there are not.  There are a lot of old military bases and areas around here.  With the Air Guard here and the Army Gaurd (helicopters) you would think they would have something around.  We do have missile based all over the place.  I have come across some hunting that I never knew where around.

Sounds good.  Now you just have to get them to hire me to patrol it daily with a helicopter to check for intruders.  And when I am not flying (during the tests) they could let me help with the testing.  Big Smile
