Hardin to Helena

Leave Hardin, MT. Rain on, rain off.  Start construction, end construction.  Climb a mountain, descend a mountain.  Repeat, combine, repeat, repeat.  All this on I-90.  Now, do it all over agin on I-15. Arrive in Helena, MT after about 6 hours of the above.  Now, don't get me wrong, it is still worth making the trip, it is just that we are getting pretty weary of the rain part. As to the construction part, we'll take it, hoping to take advantage of the improvements on our return trip.

For those of you that have been following our adventures since the beginning in 2007, you're probably wondering about the absence of photos since we started this trip.  The primary objective of this part of the journey is to get to Alaska.  Of course, we enjoy what we see along the way, but we are not taking much time for exploration; however, we were happy to spot more antelope along today's route, along with our first two buffalo and our first moose.

Some photos from today, mostly taken while on the road, are included here to give you some sense of this part of Montana, including the moose.
