Drive-in and what not.

Went over the top of the Judith Mountains. First we picked some Montana Diamonds near the top of Judith Peak.(A diamond shaped crystal that only exists on this peak Then we traveled through Maiden Canyon to Gilt Edge. Near Highway 87 we found a place to Leave the Boler since it was to late to get out to Mom and Carl's and Back for the long awaited Drive-in experience. (If things work maybe we will be able to visit at Thanksgiving.) When we opened the door for the Boler the dust almost poured out. So we took everything out and shook it and dusted the whole inside down. Taxi watched a wild bunny Wabbit while we did the cleaning. Finally she tore off after it to no avail.


















After some grub at the DashInn and a quick Blog and Email check we arrived at the drive inn around dusk.

This was Patrick's first ever Drive-in Movie.



















Unfortunately I fell asleep during the first movie and we were to tired to stay for the Double feature.

It was only $10 to get in and Taxi was free.







This Balewagon was in the Cheadle Hall Yard when we returned to the Boler at 1 AM.









I used to run one of these that was the same size while I was in Highschool and a bit after my return from the Army. It was always a fun machine to operate and the older gas engine type had many more levers to learn. And most of all it beat the hell out of loading bales by hand.





Factoids

Facts taken from the internet about Gilt Edge.......................
Gilt Edge has several ruins, including a house of prostitution which still has some of the tattered silk wallpaper hanging. But the house is in very serious decay and dangerous to enter. Across the street from this house is an old jail, about the size of a small horse stall. It is alleged the notorious Martha Canary, aka Calamity Jane, spent a winter in Gilt Edge in the late 1890s. Many accounts tell of her presence there, and she was photographed with Teddy Blue Abbott, author of “We Pointed Them North,” in Gilt Edge itself.

Judith Peak is the highest (5,808 feet) peak in the Judith Mountains. Because of its lofty location, it offers outstanding views of the surrounding mountains and prairie landscapes. Visible from this point are the Snowy Mountains (30 miles south), Little Belts (70 miles southwest), North and South Moccasin Mountains (20 miles west), Highwood Mountains (70 miles west), Bear Paw Mountains (70 miles northwest), Little Rockies (70 miles northwest) and the Missouri River, entrenched in the Missouri River Breaks about 50 miles to the north.
