Sept 1 2011, Havre, Montana

We are definitely on the prairie-flat prairie in eastern Montana. Small towns, few and far between.  Most of the towns are on the railroad tracks, and that is the only reason they were built, to service the railroad. Lots of ranches and farming.  And wide open spaces.

Signs in the railroad museum, we did not go to the buffalo jump, mainly because the next tour was 5pm. I thought it was humorous that it was behind the mall. I heard later that it was a pretty nice museum and site.

We did take the underground tour of Havre. The stores burnt down, so the store owners just moved down to their basements and used the steam tunnels to get from store to store. There was even a brothel down there. This is the general store, notice the glass blocks above, they are in the sidewalk above. A Miss Prue ad.
