got to love these small towns....

This is just outside Browning, MT... looking west - that's Glacier National Park. We've been in Montana now for about 5 days. We are staying in the small (2800 pop.) town of Conrad, about a hours drive from Alberta, Canada - our distination. It is a really friendly community, well manicured lawns and amazingly, it boasts 2 city parks, 1 with a community pool.

The fire department sounds an air-raid-like siren, every nite...we also discovered that the 1910 bank building (first established bank) clock chimes @ 4pm every day.

At the Museum of Plains Indians in Browning, MT, we found this pedstal monument depicting, by foot/shoe imprints, of the tribal and political members who gathered at a1931 conference on Plains Indian had gesture language.  (It is significantly larger with about a dozen impressions.)




Found these "junk" horse and riders outside Browning, MT on Hwy89. No sign, no credits - nothing to indicate a "point of interest" ahead. We actually had to turn around and go back to get the photos. All of this is fashioned from salvaged pieces of metal - very creative,  very green!

Our Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park photos are just to the right of this post as slideshows. Enjoy.

Our rig is parked just east of a lamb ranch, which has been educational and interesting - aren't they cute. Kinda of raggedy...lots of babes in the field, running after the ewes...sweet.
