Where The Wind Takes Us... One Doggie Field After Another

We ended up leaving early. We saw in the weather report that there was a high wind warning for several days. I have been there during a high wind, and it is hard to even stand. So we packed up and left in the morning just hours before the strong winds started.

It was a foggy morning


We got to Eureka Reservoir and noticed the mountains were hidden.


We first spotted a pheasant, which scurried away upon our truck pulling in.


Then we saw some geese with their babies in the lake. This is more impressive here than Seattle, since they do not spend the winters in Montana as opposed to the year round pests in the Puget Sound area.
As like the pheasant, the geese moved on upon us pulling in.


As we approached Choteau, MT, we came across this herd of Elk.



We next stopped at Freeze out lake in Fairfield MT for 2nd breakfast.


We headed towards Simms and got this great shot of one of the Butte’s on the horizon.


We had some snow flurries going over Rogers Pass, it was pretty, but did not stick to the road.
We next stopped at Clearwater Junction for lunch and a nap. It felt windy, but nobody seemed to be struggling to stand, so it was not that bad. I got concerned when I saw trailer after trailer coming in, thinking the wind was so bad they needed to stop, but then I looked, they were dumping their sewage tanks. The wind was a non issue. I called and found it was good we moved on.
We parked in the same spot we had slept in on the way over.
