Day 67 – Big Timber, MT to Miles City, MT

This was a hot day in Montana.

The Route
Today’s 218 mile route was simple. We started out on I-90E, continued on I-94 at Billings and ended at Miles City Exit 135.

About the Day
It was sunny with a light breeze as we’ve seen in the past days. The temperature reached 98° degrees.

Along the Way
We probably saw more Airstreams today than on any other. There were four in our campground last night. We saw four at our first gas stop today and another five or six being transported.

The journey displayed western landscape shaped by nature and technology.
 Where are the trees?
I-90 is in very good condition.
Yellowstone River nourishes the farmlands.
We saw buildings and equipment from times long past.
There are at least three large refineries in Billings.
The terrain held our attention.
The Bighorn River sure looked inviting.
Wheat fields stretch for miles.
The Yellowstone River followed us the entire trip.
The view as we approach Miles City.

The Campground
We’re at Miles City KOA. Their campsites are nestled within a stand of 50 huge cottonwood trees. We’re grateful for the cooling effect they provide.
Site #78

Tomorrow
We’re heading for Medora, ND.
