Mile 2473 – Havre, Montana. A town polluted by gambling but better than Williston, North Dakota, a town polluted by oil drilling. On to to Glacier National Park tomorrow.

The striking thing about today’s travel was the subtle transition from the continuous farmland of North Dakota to the western vistas of Montana. Both states have big skies and distant horizons, but the rich fields and standing ponds of North Dakota slowly morphed into the dry grasslands and gulches of central Montana. There was no neat dividing line like there is on the map.
The driving on Route 2 is very easy. We covered 580 miles in 11 hours, with only one brief side trip to the Fort Peck Dam near Glasgow, Montana.
