Thursday , June 4th, we decided to just hang around the area. The road that we use to get into the campground is about 4 miles off the highway but continues another 12 miles up into the forest. Today we decided to drive to the “end of the road”. By now most of you should know by the pictures we have sent, that the county roads in Montana are not quite like the one’s in Tipton County. The only thing I can say is this time the road was a heck of lot better than before due to the fact they graded the road, or at least half way there. We did manage to see some deer and elk. The only difference between here and in the park is that out here you have to look fast, due to the fact they are not people friendly. You do not get the chance to walk upon them to take their picture like some of the wildlife in the park.
The drive proved to be a shaking experience. The road reminded me of looking at a vanishing point where two lines meet. The road kept getting narrow and narrow the higher we went. We were quite surprised to find several summer homes that were located off of the main road. I’m not sure why someone would want to build a home 16 miles from the highway and have to drive this type of road to get there, but I will say I have to believe that once there, they have all the peace and quite one would want. As you can tell by the signs we did make it to the top. My thinking on taking this kind of drive is this, “why climb to the top of the mountain without seeing what is on the other side”. Back down we came and we ended up watching sand cranes, courting one another with their dancing around. Oh, love is in the air!
