Montana

Okay, that's a pretty broad title for a post.  The middle of Montana might be more precise.  Or Highway 200.  We stayed at the Roughrider in Medora ND and had breakfast in the dining room (where D and I had breakfast after camping in Teddy Roosevelt National Park just a few months earlier - June 2012).  But while D and I had headed south from Wibaux towards Wyoming, M and I just kept going west, following Montana 200 through Circle and Jordan and Lewistown.  The pictures show the Judith Mountains, Square Butte, and M talking to Bev on the phone (I think that's the only way she survives her husband's fascination with long drives and wide open spaces - thanks, dear!).

All the way across the plains, the rolled hay kept making us think of something similar we saw in the pastry case at Hanisch's in Red Wing.
