Day 9 - (07/27) Hardin, MT

Last night’s storm activity brought a 20 degree drop in temperature and an overcast morning sky. Carol woke early (or maybe she stayed awake all night watching the lightning). She wisely suggested we get on the road sooner than usual. A misting rain started just as we finished connecting the trailer.


Our last view of the Little Missouri Campground overlook.
We had breakfast at Elkhorn Cafe in Medora, SD and saw a restaurant that features steak deep-fried on a pitchfork. Sure hope they use new pitchforks.
The day cleared as we traveled 350 miles to Hardin, MT. The temperature hit the mid-80s by the time we setup at the Hardin KOA campground. The campground was nice but not fancy.
The Hardin KOA was surrounded by wheat fields.
Things of Note
  • This was Dick's first visit to Big Sky Country.
  • Unlike in ND, we didn't see oil wells or coal mines in MT.
  • We now have wireless broadband access wherever Verizon has coverage.

  1. Really nice first picture. I didn't know that there were canyon-like views in Montana.

    How come some of your pictures can be seen in a larger format (by clicking them) and others can't? Is that something you control?

  2. Sorry, Paul. I'm not aware that we do anything to control viewing size. We've seen the same thing.
