The Journey Home – Day 2, Missoula to Glendive

Day 2 Map

Today we drove from Missoula to Glendive, all in the state of Montana. It’s a big state, and we got first hand experience as to why it’s called “Big Sky Country.”

The basics…

  • Mileage
    • Today – 585 miles
    • Trip total – 1,125 miles
  • States covered
    • Montana (It’s a big state, have I said that already?)

Observations:

  • The sky was still hazy from fires when we left Missoula, but nowhere near as bad as they were on the drive out.
  • The cats have started to settle down. They aren’t quite as freaked out as they were yesterday
  • As with yesterday, we passed through some outstanding landscape. The rivers are incredible and I wanted to put a boat in. There was the Gallitan, Clarke Fork, and Yellowstone. I could just see my fly-fishing friends out there. I felt like I should be listening to the stories of Ivan Doig or Norman McLean. “I am haunted by waters.”
  • There’s a heck of a lot of big empty space in Montana, even if it is beautiful.
    I wanted to stop and take photos, but that’s hard to when you’re trying to get to the other side of the state in one day.
  • Through most of the state the speed limit is 80 MPH.
  • Glendive apparently has a thing for dinosaurs.

I took a few photos when we stopped to stretch our legs.
