Well I took off in my beauty for the wilds of Montana for two weeks. Just me and my two dogs. The Pearl was the talk of the small town of Culbertson , MT. Heck even got me a marriage proposal  Big laughter with tears Big laughter with tears
I managed to tag a few AVs while out roaming as well.
Other then the Pearl getting dirty he did great. I think I got to sample many car washes throughout Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. I will say these folks need to upgrade their car washes for sure !
That said I had a great time and here are some links to pics of my travels for your enjoyment.

Sadly due to the roaring fire in the park I was not able to visit all that I had planned. In the spot by the lake with the helicopters at one point they told us we might be forced to leave our vehicles and be transported out for our safety. Ok I know you all understand what I was thinking at that point  !

Very cool.  I'm glad I'm not the only one that like to take off by myself and the dogs.

How different things are up there. I found it beyond peaceful. I loved it in ND. I really could get to enjoy that slower lifestyle. The people up in that area are awesome.

No no Skip. He is working in Culbertson MT. I rolled just me and the dogs. Now I have to go look and see what you are talking about  Beating



Thanks everyone glad you have enjoyed them. If you get the chance you need to take in the beauty of these states. It is breath taking.

Hey, is chAVey back on the list now?   Big laughter with tears

I know, he was most likely already on the list, just moved up a notch.  Does that mean I get to move down one place on the list?  Big laughter with tears

Skip is a crane operator. They are building power plants up there. You are right about oil I sure saw a lot of little field pumping black gold up there. It was nice to see that really. Boy did I see plenty of game up there too.

Chris you will never get off the list. I just forgot to give you the wildfire treatment at WW.  Big laughter with tears Big laughter with tears

There were a couple of the Pearl. He is at the bottom of the hill dwarfing the little Japanese tin cans lol in the Yellowstone ones. Thanks for looking at them and it was a great trip. Would do it again in a heart beat and driving an Avalanche made it even 100 X more pleasant !
