The Hitchhiker's Guide to Montana

Montana is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. Trust us. We've now covered about 1500 miles in the state of Montana and there's plenty more to see. Most of it seems to consist of wide open fields, hills, mountains, cows and horses as far as the eye can see. In fact, according to reliable sources there are two and a half times more cattle than there are people in Montana. Our drive through the state has taken us through some scenic stretches that are vast and lonely. This includes an approximately 20 mile jaunt on a gravel road in the middle of Nowheresville through unfathomably huge ranch lands where cattle and horses rule and the sight of another vehicle is rare.

If there's one thing we've learned here, it's that you almost always fill your gas tank at every opportunity because who knows when the next station will appear?
