Yesterday, Desiree and I drove from Helena to Colstrip so I could conduct two days of training here. We drove Montana Highway 12, which at one time also served as Main Street for my hometown of East Helena. The route skirted alongside the Big Belt Mountains, and wound its way between the Big Belt, Castle, Crazy, and Big Snowy Mountains. Just for your reference, that’s good stuff.
After emerging from the mountains, we sailed through
a mix of open country and sometimes rugged and rocky landscapes carved into the
spine of Montana by the Musselshell River.
A good portion of this is prime dinosaur fossil hunting country—also good
stuff, just for your reference.
We eventually dropped down across the Yellowstone
River and found our way to Colstrip. In total, we drove nearly 350 miles in
about 6 hours. Though a bit snowy at times, Desiree and I enjoy the drive immensely.
