Day 10-11: Road Trip to Montana

Instead of prose, how bout pictures.  Below you'll find a few moments from the 930 mile trip from Tacoma to Forsyth Montana.  Prior to this trip, the longest Sikes road trip was 315 miles to Sunriver,OR.  Here's to setting new records.

M's for Montana...or they could be flashing gang signs. 

Giant windmills at a rest stop, look out for Toto and Dorothy.

Prior to leaving Janie asked "Can we stop and see the wild horses?"
I said "There's no such thing in Washington."
Here they are above the Columbia proving me wrong.
I'm pretty sure the graffiti was there before they got there.  

Dinner in Spokane at Mary Lou's Milk Bottle.
Anyone know where they got the name?

Spent the night in historic Kellogg where the town motto is:
"Founded by a jackass and inhabited by his descendants."
No joke, it says it on wikipedia so  it must be true.
This is also the hometown of the Doty family who most certainly are not jackasses.

Ever been to Butte?  It's pronounced "bju:t" and not "butt" as these jokers chose to believe. 
This town had 100,000 people in 1920 but now has less than 35,000.
The drop might or might not have something to do with the fact that Butte is the site of America's largest Superfund site.
Pennies and wiring had to come from somewhere.
Despite the struggle, there's a lot of beautty in Butte, like this cafe.  

Finally we arrived here, in Forsyth, Montana.  Home of the Forstyth Dogies
as well as the Montana Sikes.

Here's the crew in the fellowship hall of First Baptist Forsyth where my brother is the pastor.
