TRACE THE MITTEN

From Chester west to Cut Bank

Since I started this virtual 1,036 miles since I left eastern Minnesota. Chester does have a city park for camping, but like most of these town you will hear the freight trains.

Downtown Chester. Stock up when you get the opportunity.

South of Chester is the Tiber Dam which forms Lake Elwell, a wonderful recreation area.

Grass Hills to the North.

Don't count on always getting a tailwind. Today the wind is at 19 mph from the SW.

I spotted some cattle grazing.

Common to see a few wooden buildings. This is in Devon.

Coming into Galata.

Shelby with a population of over 3100 and at elevation 3100'
You pass through small towns, but eventually you will come to a place that is big enough to restock. Interstate 15 passes north and south.  Two train lines crisscross here too.  The town hosted a fight featuring the heavyweight champ, Jack Dempsey in 1923 and it nearly bankrupted the town. I am sure glad that it is still here.  This route along US 2 has been called the Hi Line and I asked about that.  The origin of the name is that it is the northern most railway line in the US.

The wind that I experience led me to think that wind machines would be somewhere.

No services at Ethridge, sorry.
Picture
I better be ready for more climbing.

What a cute roadside attraction for a photo.
This town is only 30 miles south of the US-Canadian border.
