Here are a series of recent newspaper articles about traveling along Hwy 2 in Montana from the Idaho border to the North Dakota border. This is the route I take when traveling between home and where I grew up.
In September 1979 I bicycled this route. Hwy 2 is one of the main cross-country bicycling routes in the U.S. When I had reached the North Dakota line I got someone from the State Line House Casino Bar to take my photo at the 'Welcome to North Dakota' sign. It was just a bar and not a casino back then as casinos weren't legal in either state. I had a photo taken of me kissing the ground, glad to be back in NoDak. However in the photo it looks like I am throwing up in the ditch. Lots of memories.
