Handsome Pastures - Near Ovando, Montana

"All over the land are vast and handsome pastures, with good grass for cattle, and it strikes me the soil would be very fertile were the country inhabited and improved by reasonable people."

- Alvar N. C. de Vaca (c.1490-c.1557)

Slightly Closer To Canada - Near Ovando, Montana

"The closer you get to Canada, the more things'll eat your horse."

- Tom Logan in movie The Missouri Breaks 

(Fortunately, we don't have a horse to worry about on this trip to Canada, and the wildest creature we've seen thus far was a lone antelope standing uncharacteristically in the middle of the access road, looking like he was waiting for the school bus.)
