Thanks Tommy....I actually thought of you when we saw that big old homestead.....you would love it! I took that one from the car...so it's no where near as good as you would be able to shot it!
Spent the last week taking the side-by-sides around the back back back roads thru the CMR area and down to Ft. Peck.....so much fun!!! Randy and Gary road in Gary's and Brenda and I rode in mine.....figured out...I realllyyyy don't like steep side hills
Here are some pics of the trip. We found quite a few old homesteads, old equipment half buried out in the middle of nowhere, cars buried, deer, elk, goats and so much wonderful scenery...was a blast!
The refuge was named in recognition of this colorful western artist (Charles M Russell) who often portrayed the refuge’s landscape in his paintings and whose conservation ethic was years ahead of his time. The CMR extends 125 miles along the Missouri River. There is an exceptional 20-mile auto tour (which takes approximately 2 hours) with views of the scenic Missouri River and abundant wildlife. The tour begins and ends on Highway 191, making it an easy side trip for anyone with the time. Established in 1936 by President Roosevelt, the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge (CMR) is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the National Wildlife Refuge system. Encompassing more than one million acres in eastern Montana, the CMR refuge includes native prairies, forested coulees, river bottoms, and badlands, which were often portrayed in the paintings of Charlie Russell.
I will add a couple of shots of critters in the first comment....check out the Elk's horn...it's a weird one!
