I "helped" (just along for the ride) Ed, who manages an 800 acre Black Angus cattle Ranch (North Star Angus Ranch) in Fortine, transport 6 head of Angus to the auction in Missoula approx. 170 miles south. Ed runs the ranch, the owner resides in Texas & rarely, if ever, comes up to to see his investment. We saddled up on the Ford 250 diesel Truck and herded the cattle to market. No problems with mountain lions, wolfs, & injins along the way but Ed had his rifle ready just in case, and I was armed with an extensive vocabulary in case we ran into trouble like an ambush or cattle ruslers. As you can see, we made it!
We traveled approx. 40 miles through the Flathead Indian Reservation heading back home. The tribes gave the rights to the state to build this hwy. labor was provided by the Indians and they also wanted this overpass. it is a deer crossing. They built high fences on both sides of the hwy. so the only place the deer can cross is this overpass. It funnels the deer to only pass here. So what you see is a deer overpass and the humans travel under it. Sounds good to me..
