What of Montana are you in?Ivisited karaspell about 10 years ago,beautiful country.

When I am at home, I'm in the Kalispell area,    about 15 miles outa town.   But it seems that road construction keeps me living all over the state more than at home.   This job was just east of Thompson Falls.  Next week they are ready for side dumps over east, north of Galata.    But that will be only 200 miles from the house.    Its a big state, over 600 miles across.     Some pretty country thru out , but I prefer the western part with the mountains and trees.

Montana is beautiful.. When we went to the Yakima WA ATHS show we ran MT 200 almost all the way across, and after we did Glacier Natl Park on the way home I forget what we ran,, dropped south??

Working on a highway construction job , you get to see some interesting things,     But unlike Other Dog,   I am never lucky to have the camera handy when those "girls in the car"  go by.       But we have had a lot of big loads go thru .   And there was this hippy van with flowers , rockets and half dogs on the little mud flaps.     The  old half dogs.

Yes it is for a CAT, haul truck type I think.     But maybe for a big scraper type water wagon ?       One of the other guys said he'd heard the it holds 52,000 gallons ?
