Tomorrow, I will be in a place I have never been--MONTANA. Yes, Montana in the wintertime. And yes, I believe I have a pretty good reason to be there. So, here are some fun Montana facts you might not know. My comments are in blue.
Giant Springs, Montana is home to the largest fresh water spring in the U.S. Lewis and Clark were mesmerized by the beauty of this area. I want to see it.
It is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone. Luckily, my search partner will be with me, so if we decide to give any sheep a ride to Wal Mart, we'll be okay.
In Montana, it is illegal for married women to go fishing alone on Sundays, and illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all. No worries there. I don't know how to fish. I don't even think I could touch one.
The Roe River is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's shortest river. The Roe flows 200 feet between Giant Springs and the Missouri River near Great Falls.
46 out of Montana's 56 counties are considered "frontier counties" with an average population of 6 or fewer people per square mile.
The moose, now numbering over 8,000 in Montana, was thought to be extinct in the Rockies south of Canada in the 1900s. We will take a few pictures for our moose-deprived friend, Dal. :)
No state has as many different species of mammals as Montana. I'm sure to love it.
The most visited place in Montana is Glacier National Park, known as the crown jewel of the continent. It lies along Montana's northern border and adjoins Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada, forming the world's first International Peace Park.
Miles City is known as the Cowboy Capitol. We will see about that.
Montana has the largest grizzly bear population in the lower 48 states. Hopefully, they're all still sleeping.
Montana is nicknamed the Treasure State. Hopefully, it will live up to that nickname!
And my favorite: In Excelsior, it is illegal to "worry the squirrels."
Maybe it's because they have good friends:
