It’s been hard for Our Hero to keep up with everything, so he’s sent a few late photos to me. This post will consist of those and include an explanation of where and when they were taken. First, I have some from back on August 4th, when we were still in Washington State. These were of the Pacific Ocean. It was thrilling to see it for all of us:
And another of the Pacific:
A house with an old train behind it:
A view of a bay:
A home along the ocean:
The forests of Washington:
That’s it for August 4th. Now we move on to closer dates. These photos are from August 27th and include the Conestoga RV Park, where they stayed. Cindy took the Park photos. First, a memorial park in Townsend, Montana:
A nice area to sit and pray or contemplate the sacrifice of those who served our country. Then the main memorial at the center included names of those lost in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War:
The park benches had plates that were placed in memory of people:
And this memorial tree marker for another veteran:
And now Conestoga RV Park. It’s really cute:
The place was decorated with metal sculptures. This one is adorable, especially the sign:
And the cowboy with a child at the playground:
The main building to check in had the wagon sculpture and the quilt design:
And now some additional photos that Art took on his ride. A lake he traveled by:
A river he followed:
And a bridge over that river with a smiling Art:
And now we move forward to August 28th and 29th.
Art and Cindy saw some interesting historical information about the area. These are the extra photos from that. The town of Harlowton is in the Fort Union Geological Formation, where Albert Silberling made some discoveries of Paleocene mammals:
Make note of the information in the block on the bottom right about the Crazy Mountains, because that is what’s up next. Art passed this area on the 28th:
I invite you to read the details yourself. And with the next sign about Ingomar, Montana, one of the most remote towns in the state.
Now we’ll move on to some beautiful scenery along Our Hero’s bike path. This truly looks dry and desolate:
He made note of these darkening clouds. Sometimes you’re trying to outride a storm, and sometimes you have to go through it:
Around another curve to see these beautiful hills:
A cowboy and his horse say a prayer for a fallen friend. It’s a sculpture in the distance. We’ve seen these in several states, Colorado and Wyoming, included:
A lone tree on the plains, fences on both sides of the road where cattle or horses likely graze now and then:
This area is so desolate, I can’t imagine being a pioneer and trying to travel through with no help:
Blue cloudy Big Sky Country:
I’ve caught us up with some pictures Art and Cindy missed getting to me, but we should be well caught up now.
Next Up: Day 30, Saturday
