Don't quote the pics from the original thread thread, because it screws with the page format!
tragabigzanda wrote:Had a conference in Havre today, the birthplace of Jeff Ament. Had to drive nearly 7 hours, passed through Big Sandy (where Jeff moved when he was a kid, and where his father served as mayor; also where Jon Tester has his farm). The man comes from a very desolate place. Makes me like him, and his dedication to creativity, even more.
A scenic outlook about 90 mins outside Big Sandy. There were already signs here for Big Sandy, as there wasn't much else in between:
Downtown Big Sandy (seriously):
Havre is mostly just an ugly strip, though the MSU campus (where my conference was held) does look like it has a good farm program. Based on the style of buildings in that area, I'd say all that stuff came after he lived there:

It's not appropriate to call that number.

It's not improved, the quality of the pictures was better in the other thread.

I'm a big fan of Amtrak's Empire Builder train, which travels from Portland to Chicago or vice versa. As a result I've been through Havre 20-25 times, though I've never had a chance to go into town. On occasion I'll listen to Yield during this leg of the trip, and it vibes well with being on a train traveling through rural Montana.

this is our best chance yet to infiltrate the organization. it's the perfect cover!!tragabigzanda wrote:I've seen an unusually high number of Montana Pool Service hats around Big Sky lately (the non-profit Jeff works with to develop skate parks in rural communities in the MT/Dakotas region). Makes me feel his presence. Hoping to scoop ice cream for free at one of their events this fall or maybe next summer...
