On the Road Again, Glendive, MT

When I sat down this afternoon to write this, I found this picture that I had taken last week when we joined our daughter, her husband, and Brendan for a sunset cruse on the Missouri River at Bismarck. I took this shot as we were leaving and the clouds were rolling in.

So now we are on the road again. Our daughter, Angela and her family have loaded up their motorhome and joined us for a week in Montana. Yesterday we drove about 200 miles to Glendive, MT. On the way here, we stopped at a scenic overlook at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. As usual, the pictures don't do it justice. We had driven through the park several years ago, so we didn't take the time to do it again this trip.

As we passed through the town of Wibaux, MT we stopped at an information center and decided to go to the Pierre Wibaux museum. At one time he was one of the largest ranchers in the country and we found the museum to be very interesting and informative. This is the building that he used as an office when he was here in town where the stockyards were located.

 

Part of the museum was located in this train car which was part of a 25 car Montana delegation to the 1939 New York World Fair.

At one time, most of his herd were Texas Longhorns like this one here.

Today we visited a couple of stores, had lunch at CC's and toured the Frontier Gateway Museum here. Most of the museum's huge collection was inside the main building, but this area held most of the old machinery, a log cabin and an old school house.

Tomorrow we are going out to the Makoshika State Park to spend the day.
