Life In The Plains Of Montana

Apparently when you drive through Montana, there are stretches of road hundreds of miles long where you don’t pass any truck stops, rest stops, walmarts, or even any real towns. This can pose a problem if you are towing your home and are looking for a place to park it for the night. Our solution? Eventually we got so tired that we found a dirt side road, pulled over, and crashed for the night. Bright and early the next morning we were awoken to the sound of frantic “moooooo’s”. Apparently we had parked in a pasture. When I looked out the window I found a mama cow staring at the shiny silver object in her yard trying to figure out what it could possibly be. She wouldn’t pass it. Instead she just stood there, belting out at us and doing her best to keep her calf behind her. In fact it turned out we were surrounded on all sides, each by a cow more confused and louder than the next. Needless to say we were awake, and it was one of the most humorous starts to a day on the trip.
