The second picture looks a lot like the logo at the top of the page?

Coincidence???

pure coincidence, sam. the logo at the top of the page is something that i found while working at the yogo inn in lewistown, about 160 miles from here.

once sunday morning, during the sunday brunch, a customer left that on their table. it's actually drawn on a place mat, if you can believe that. the busboy showed it to me at the front desk, and was going to toss it, but i dang enar slapped it out of his hands, thinking that it would be perfect for BSB.

after a scan at the local newspaper and TexasShooter's adding the text, we had a logo!

Where's the TRAINS! Chinook IS on the Hi Line, for crying out loud. No series would be complete without some TRAINS.
Seriously, I forgot you could see the Bear Paws that good from there.  I keep thinking the Sweet Grass Hills are the last lump in the scenery before you get to Mt Katahdin....
Thanks, Tash. Those were nice. More reasons why we live in the Treasure State, I guess.

 thanks, ric -

i wasn't even paying attention, jsut watching the traffic go by at a a T-intersection waiting to turn, and my 3-year-old starts yelling at me to take a picture. he was pointing right out the front and toward the sunset, and it hit me, so i took it.

by request, here is mmy meager set of train pix, all of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe line which is the big kahuna up here across the top of montana, replacing burlington northern, which in turn replaced the Great Northern Railway.

 

these second two are interesting in that the train is going about 70 miles an hour, and so were we when my 11-year-old took them. i expected the train to be clear and the foreground and background to be blurry due to the speed, but that wasn't the case.

finally, here are a few more views of the milk river, where you can catch walleyes, northerns, sauger, bullheads and supposedly catfish.....also very good whitetail country.

this view is just a couple of miles south and east of chinook

 

this is just a couple of hundred yards south of zurich which is about 10 miles east of chinook. zurich mostly old, empty buildings and a very nice park (which i will photograph in the spring) and, of course, THE SPA bar!

This picture here is on the border of the fort belknap reservation, home of the white clay (gros ventre) and nakoda (assiniboine) tribes. i am going to post a few photos from the reservation on the thread titled MISSION CANYON PIX.
