They still have no speed limits out there? (not that the roads are autobahn quality, but still...)

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

  they got rid of the no speed limit about 8-9yrs ago. It was nice while it lasted  turn a 6 hr trip to missoula into 4hrs.  Missoula is about 340mi from Billings.

Just out of curiosity, you anywhere near the Little Bighorn battlefield where you are? Been thinking seriously about taking a seasonal job with the NPS out there for the summer next year just to get out of NY for a while.

 I am indeed about 48mi  from Hardin. They do the re enactments every year im not sure on the dates though. great trout fishing on the bighorn river if your into that as well. Also red lodge is a little tourist town 68mi W of here in the mountains.... look up BEARTOOTH HIGHWAY  which is beautifull.  I  work for a car rental company in billings as well so if u need car arrangements......  give me a shout.

Would require me to take a leave of absence from the Department, but I am probably going to do it next year if theres an opening. Its a Cavalry thing (even though I'm a Custer Hater). :)

Yes it does, but thankfully I hide in West LA near Santa Monica in a building with industrial-sized air conditioning to shield me during the worst hours of the day five days outa the week.  But it's not like my apartment is nice n' cool when I get home, it's on the top floor on the side of the building facing south.  Gotta leave the windows (that I can without compromising security) open for my pet when I'm gone during the day.

Frigin hate this time of year.  I'm always looking to the North though, it just gets prettier and cooler the further you go.

Edit: ok on second thought, it's not that bad, there's more half-naked women than you can count on your figners and toes looking in any single given direction this time of year.

Low 70's for the high, 40's at night this weekend in Bismarck, ND (Shout out to our neighbor SkottyK in MT).  We get both extremes up here, can get into the hundreds in summer and way below zero in the winter.

Hey Treize69, don't forget to swing through here on your way to the Little Bighorn.  Ft. Abraham Lincoln State Park (where the 7th Cav was stationed) is just south of Mandan, ND which is just across the Missouri River from Bismarck.
