We had a beautiful drive today through western Montana, albeit a wet and rainy one. The amount of mountain run-off into the main rivers is huge. The flooding, particularly along the Yellowstone River is significant. We kept commenting about the amount of water. Although it had compromised the roads from time to time (not so much on the freeway, except for one place east of Livingston), it was mostly the water just standing in fields and forest. It was everywhere. Due to the floodinng, we have had to change our travel plans. Instead of driving US 212 through northern South Dakota, or even US 12 (just slightly farther north) we'll have to stay on I-94. There are too many closures due to the flooding. But this is lovely country, and we've enjoyed the scenery and the animals - wild and domestic! Lots of deer, cattle, and sheep.
Tonight we're in Billings. We tried twice to go to local restaurants but they were both closed for Memorial Day! That's nice for their employees. So we ended up having burgers at Fuddruckers. They were very good.
That's it for today.
