Day 16 - Rigby, Idaho to Laurel, Montana

Shortly after leaving Rigby I was in Montana. Idaho actually had some great scenery, but immediately after crossing the state line into Montana, the scenery was incredible. Snow covered mountains everywhere (in May!) . I stopped in Laurel, Montana, a small town outside Billings. I went into a FOE (Fraternal Order of Eagles) bar, similar to a Legion post or VFW. Cheap drinks, friendly people, that's all I need. Drank with a truck driver named Roper, he used to drive across the country all the time, knew it like the back of his hand. Awesome guy. He gave me a great route to take out of Montana, which you will see in the next day's pictures. Thanks to Roper and Ilka the bartender for making me feel welcome in Montana!

Welcome to Montana













Contrary to popular belief, there IS a speed limit in Montana. If I was here between 1995 and 1999 there wouldn't be one, instead the speed limit was posted as "Reasonable and Prudent."
