We used to drive from Missoula to Rapid City every Christmas with screaming kids in the car. The interstate was just in pieces, and it was better to drive highway 12 than highway 10, which is now I90. Roads were always icy, and the trip was always tense. Tires were not radial, and the options in nicer cars was an automatic transmission and/or a radio, and heater. Geez, do you remember when used car ads used to read the car came with a radio and heater?

The trip from Moscow to Batesland is a piece of cake nowaday. The roads have shoulders; cars have cruise, and one can listen to story tapes, or satellite radio.

Gawd, it is a long ways across Montana. Shorten your trip a bit by driving 212, instead of I90, between Custer Battlefield, and Belle Fourche.

Shoot now I am going to have to git some maps out and do some studing.... Printed your directions Ron....

This is going to be a little farther than I drive for a weekend range session at the hunting lease. My wife thinks we should "stop along the way" to visit my son in Sterling Heights, Michigan. If we do that the round trip will only be a little over 3600 miles.

I don't recall that I've ever driven that far for a shooting session before.

OK Semi's map inspired me...

Only 16 hours 4 minutes from here to there... I can do that in a day...

1000 miles 20 miles per gallon 50 X 3.5 = $175 x 2 = $350 RT. Thinking...

See, I knew I never should have moved out of Wyoming. It would have only been about 6 hours instead of 12. I've been trying to convince the wife she would be a lot happier if she lived somewhere that had mountains, I wonder if this would count as a legitimate reason to move back.

About 508 miles for me. I hope I will be able to swing it.

I was thinking I could maybe hitch a ride with MD, but I don't know if I could handle the ride back when he doesn't have that gun anymore. LOL!
