Day Fourteen: Wild Montana Skies, Part II
Today, we packed up the Cube and started the trek from Missoula to Sheridan, Wyoming. Not long after we left Missoula, we saw a billboard for “Testicle Festival” (unfortunately, no picture). Later on, with more than a little trepidation, I later googled it and according to Wikipedia, it’s a festival geared around eating deep fried…well, you get it. That certainly was an interesting way to start the day.
Driving through Montana is a study in landscapes: on the west side, it’s all mountains and hills ; on the east it’s plains.
We did stop for lunch in Bozeman, Montana. And since everything does revolve around Star Trek, Bozeman will be the scene of First Contact a couple of hundred years:

We passed by the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn and elected not to stop because we had a long day of driving. We finally entered Wyoming (we missed the sign on our way in the first time):
We made it our stop in Sheridan, Wyoming and had a good meal. Tomorrow, we travel to Mitchell, South Dakota.
Happy journeys,
Mike
