Great and beeyootiful photos of Montana, Diane T...I was borne about 100 ft from the Montana/N. Dakota line and can say that the scenery was then and
still is..much better on the Montana side. 
I just drove most of Big Sky Country again 3 days ago ...for about the umpteenth-hundreth time. Started at the extreme NE corner (Plentywood area) by
way of NW ND, got on the Highline Hwy to Choteau, Browning & Glacier, backtracked down to Sun River (Great Falls), Glendive, Miles City, Billings,
Bozeman, down the Gallatin Hwy to Ellis, then West Yellowstone, passed thru the birthplace of tv? in Ripley, Idaho and rocketed I-15 in the
Utah, Nevada, California heat wave all the way down here to San Diego...where it finally cooled off.
Montana is always By Far the most scenic part of my rambling trips! Thanks for all those beautiful photos and memories.
Kudos!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I seldom drop in here but I,m glad I did this time,lived in the area for many years and agree its Very Big and beautiful,never got out of the
mountains to see the plains,but that was alright because the fishing was off the chart.
Super shots,THX a bunch.
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Great shots!
That looks like Fish Creek located about 30 miles west of Missoula off Interstate 90! Was it?
Blue Ribbon and what a great area. We used to go up there each year with our guild.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Yes, the "Big Sky" portions of Montana are wondereful and we drive through it every year on our way to Edmonton Alberta. However, Butte MT where i was
born and lived until my parents had the good sense to move to San Diego when I was 14, was ,and still is more or less one ugly, cold f******
place.

Thanks everyone for your comment, personal thoughts and memories of the Big Sky Country. Be it mountains or the plains, it just is a special place.
McFez, we were on Fish Creek a few afternoons, and at least one of the pix is from there. The fishing was not good until after we left. With the
late and heavy rains this year, the streams were still too cloudy and running to high and fast. However, for me, I don't care if I catch a fish or
not. I just like being there!

Hi DianeT..from Montana's Big Easy and now the Missouri Breaks. Just passing through Big Sky Montana again for the second time in two weeks. ?
The scenery along my route is just like your photos....inspiring and simply beautiful.
Simple? Naw...Grandiose? Yes...
Not making very good time....cuz there is one photo-op after another. Oh well, things could be lot worse for a camera-bug.
Fishing tomorrow along the Gallatin....or wherever the trail takes me.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I wish there was a green face---that would be me right now, green with envy. Well not completely because we are now in Baja and well, that is also
great---this time of the year is the best in Asuncion.
Love that statement, wherever the trail takes me----that is only way to travel!
Have a great time and hope to see some of your photos!
Diana

Thank you.
That fawn was brand new --- we couldn't believe it. We were driving around the outskirts of Missoula and saw mama in the field of tall grass. She
did not move and looked a little stressed. We did not realize what was happening.
We continued up the hill to look at some homes and returned about 20 minutes later and she had given birth! We did not stay around as we did not
want to make mama nervous, but what a treat for us to see such a brand new fawn.
Then again, she might have not been that nervous. The deer wander all over Missoula and not everyone there is so fond of them as they do enjoy
feeding in the gardens.
