Range land south & east of Augusta, MontanaRange land south & east of Augusta, MontanaJuly 23, 2007. We are staying in Dick's RV Park in Great Falls, Montana. It is a nice enough park with paved FHU sites & Cable for $27. They do charge extra for wifi but we found an open wifi signal in the park. There isn't a lot of choice in Great Falls, it is either Dick's or KOA and we avoid KOA if at all possible. Bottom line, we would recommend Dick's when stopping in Great Falls.
Deer & elk antler art
We were 30 to 40 miles west of Great Falls near the small community of Augusta when we spotted this "antler art". Look closely at that creation. Someone has collected a LOT of antlers. I would say he needs a T shirt with "deer fear me" in capital letters.
From Augusta we headed south on US 287 across barren range land
From Augusta we drop south on US 287. Farming has given way to large ranches. The farming we saw as we made our way west out of Great Falls was hay farming in irrigated fields all located in the Sun River Valley. Now that we are not following the river there is no sign of farming.
Large ranches are the norm here
Huge ranches stretch to the horizon in all directions.
Montana ranch land
Only occasionally do we see any green in this open ranching country.
Miles and miles of open range land
If you look closely you can see cattle around that shallow pool of water in the distance.
Livestock loading area
A few cattle are visible in this picture in the distance. The infrastructure you see here is used to load livestock into trailers.
Black angus on Montana range land
This small spot of green has attracted cattle like a magnet.
Montana range land
Again, we are 40-miles or more southwest of Great Falls and there is no evidence of grain being grown in this area. Everything we see is open range land. Click here for more Montana Travel AdventuresUntil next time remember how good life is.
