Billings MT mile 2452

Another warm and windy day, but the wildlife and scenery made up for it. Wind NNW 15 mph and gusting more, but as much on shoulder as head wind at times. Barely doing 10 mph as I took old highway 87 west out of Hardin, to avoid interstate 90. The small rattlesnake on the road seemed to be sleeping. I worried that it would get squashed but I didn't dare disturb it. Hardly any traffic anyway. Passed a prairie dog colony, a sweet smelling field of purple sage, and mares nursing colts.
Steep uphill from creek through burned canyon as I approached Billings, then lovely winding descent.
