Lewiston, MT

This morning we left Hazen Bay around 8 PM. After stopping in Hazen for fuel, propane and a stop at city hall we were on the road at 9:30. It was west 8 miles to Beulah and then south on us 49 to I-94 where we turned west traveling into the badlands of western ND. At Glendive, MT we crossed the Yellowstone river and turned onto US 200 west traveling through the vast Montana prairies where we didn't see a town for 40 to 60 miles at a stretch. from Winnet on west we began seeing pine trees in the coulees. A little east of Lewiston we gained 1500 ft. in elevation and started seeing a lot of pine trees. The Yellowstone river that we crossed at Glendive is the major source of water for Lake Sakakawea along with water from the Missouri River that comes through Fort Peck Dame in Montana. We hadn't planned on traveling so far today but found out there aren't any camp grounds out in the prairies.
