Overnight - Jordon, MT

East bound on MT 200 (among several other numbers on the same road). This route is Montana’s version US50 in eastern Nevada, the loneliest road in the state. Miles and miles of dead straight road, flat prairie dotted with an occasional house (some actually in use), a few cows and a horse or two, and a small herd of goats. It is definitely construction season. We went through 8-9 construction zones, 3 with signals and pilot cars. They were replacing bridges, culverts and totally rebuilding a couple of miles of the road itself. There weren’t really any wide spots to pull over either. We ate lunch parked in the center of a “Y” intersection. Camp tonight is a gravel parking lot with 10 full hookup sites. Not scenic, but only $30. Glad we have power for air conditioning. Hot this afternoon on the prairie. We wondered about those first automobile trips across Montana using unmarked farm roads and no gas stations or mechanics.Read more
