Chris and I ventured out West for a 8 days last week. We left on the fourth and headed up North to Minnesota, then to North Dakota, and finally made it to the Eastern edge of Montana to a town called Glendive. We were in the car for 14 hours people! On the way out there, we decided to take pictures with giant animals! The first stop was the famous Preston trout in Minnesota along highway 52!
North Dakota is loaded with them, I suppose there is nothing else to do there but build the worlds largest animal statues. This is The buffalo at some frontier town. They also had albino buffalo and sweet leather hats that Chris and I neglected to get.
About an hour or so later we came across Salem Sue- the world's largest Holstein cow. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself. The entrance sign encouraged people to donate money so that Sue could have a facelift every couple of years. The first picture is taken from the car!
After driving what seemed like an eternity through North Dakota going 85mph, the scenery finally got pretty for the last 30 miles! These exposed hills were colored kinda neat. The aren't even that good looking, so let that speak for the rest of North Dakota.
Finally Montana! One more giantass animal left. We found this goody on a back road to our campground. Chris wanted to appear like he was being "pooped out" of the Dinosaur. It looks convincing, especially with that smile!
So just to note, this is my first time camping. Lookout! And with no running water. Holy Smokes! But, we did get to buy lots of new stuff such as: tent, cast iron skillet, and my very own sleeping bag. This is our fist camping site. We put the tent up, cooked the meal and by that time we were beat and went to sleep. To top the night off it stormed and the tent didn't leak! I forgot to mention that the camping site came complete with a river and pit toilets!
Glad you had fun! Do you have any pics of Montana?
