It is not every day that you see a bald eagle in the wild, and until today I had only seen it once before.  But during a break today at the "Gigantic Warm Spring" one circled overhead for a few minutes before gliding into the hills.  Pretty cool.

It was a mile off route down a dirt road, but curiosity got the better of me, so I said "what the heck, it's only a mile" and went exploring.   The lady at the house said the spring runs year round at 68 degrees and pumps out thousands of gallons per minute.

Bald Eagle

There's the eagle riding the currents.  I wish I had my good camera and long lens to get a better shot, but I have to admit my little iPhone camera does a pretty good job.

The road from Denton to Lewistown wound through more of the "golden triangle" of farming, as I've learned it's called by the locals.  The farms are very large now, so the landscaped is littered with old abandoned houses, but you still see other homesteads.

The last interesting site I came across today, two of them actually, was this:
