You hear this a lot, unless you're from there, you don't get it.
One of my least favorite places in Montana is Glendive. Now I know that will make some people mad and I really don't know why but I make it a point to never stop there if I head that direction...
Right now, a road trip from Billings to Whitefish will cost about $50 more in fuel than last year. If it hits $5 a gallon, the same trip will cost $220 for regular gas. Ouch.
Road trips, the most fun you can have with your friends or the worst week that you can spend with your family and It's still my preferred mode of transportation. A little "windshield time" is always good for my attitude.
During my drive back from Indiana to Montana, I took the route that goes through South Dakota. If you've never made the drive between Billings and Sioux Falls, there are some interesting sites to visit.
It must have something to do with the nice weather today. I've heard from a lot of people who would rather hop in their vehicles and go for a drive than be at work today.
My drive starts with Elvis' version of "The Promised Land:. The I'd play some Sheryl Crow "Steve McQueen", and probably add Freddy Weller's "Roadmaster" in there some place...
