Leaving such a cool place as the Hill Ranch Oasis is tough, but the road beckoned, and it's high time to get out of this state.

Nothing against Montana, but by my count I have been here eleven days!  The state just goes on and on, and today it became the most desolate I've seen it yet; no farming and very little livestock.  Virtually nothing.  There were more abandoned sites than anything else.

The most entertaining part was looking at some of the odd names chosen for the ranches.  Did they think these through?

Jordan is another small town with a population of just a few hundred and only two or three places to eat.  I chose the "R- Ranchers Bar" for a cheeseburger and fries, and I got a few odd stares from the locals, but I am used to it by now.
