Kurt lives near the Yellowstone River in Billings. I asked him what it dumps into and he said the Missouri...which I believe ends up in the Mississippi, which I would encounter 4 days later! I like irrigation projects and think it's cool to see how just by using gravity you can make water do amazing things. Technology that's as old as the hills...haha, get it? old as the hills? Ok, I'll stop.

And this is what your humble looking water water irrigation system gets you

Kurt is a good dude who says he may have to buy an mc soon. You may be looking at Montana's next attourney general, says he's mulling over running.

Day 3: My intention was from Billings stay on hiway 90 into Wyoming to the Devil's Tower area. But Kurt insisted that I backtrack on 90 and turn south for Red Lodge in the Custer Gallatin Natl. Forest area, from where I could take in Beartooth pass on hiway 212. He said I wouldn't regret it. Two days prior the pass was closed because of snow, but we checked the weather the morning of, and it looked reasonable. Only thing was that he loaned me a pair of sweats, I couldn't find mine anywhere before leaving...only had shorts with me. But I think he was right, taking the extra day here made for a special ride.

Not much traffic going up, seemed like I was the only one out there for awhile

I forget how high the pass was, but something like 11,000

A bit windy, but wonderful views
