Leaving Glacier NP
We left Glacier and are heading southwest towards Yellowstone. Now we also know why they call this "Big Sky" country. You can see for miles and trees are non existent over the rolling hills.

Grasslands
The major local industry appears to be cattle, but we also also seen some oil fields and in some areas they are irrigating the land - growing wheat and alfalfa (for hay).

Dinosaurs
Also, we learned that is area was a major source for finding dinosaur fossils. We saw one place that was named "Egg Mountain" because they found numerous dinosaur eggs and other remains. This fellow was in Choteau, Mt., a little town that has a museum and several buildings that were preserved from earlier times.
