Day 3 - Glendive, MT to Shelby, MT 420 Miles

The small Glendive RV Park office had some interesting historical relics - lots of arrowheads and shell casings from the battlefields. This original Bismarck Tribune Newspaper from July 6, 1876, gives a gruesome account of Custer's last stand "Massacred - General Custer and 261 Men the Victims."

Traversing Montana (driving US Hwy#2) we crossed 3 rivers: Missouri (pictured), Yellowstone and the Milk (3 or 4 times).

Not much to write about. We saw lots of road, RR-tracks and fields - a few antelope from a distance. Interestingly, we passed and met a number of bikers on the route - not sure where they were headed.


Lots of grain elevators along the RR tracks - some in use, others abandoned.
Tomorrow we will cross into Canada - Shelby is 35 miles south of Sweetgrass (the Port of Entry.)
