My husband and I are about to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and for 20 years we've been talking about going to Montana. He traveled through there (before we met) with a friend in an eighteen-wheeler during the dead of winter. No, we are not going by that mode of transportation. : - ) We are going in our Astro. We live in Louisiana and are first going to hit eastern Oklahoma (our original honeymoon state) at the end of February and stay for a few days and then head toward Montana. We will stay in Montana for several days and then head toward MS to visit family. Overall our trip will be about a month long. Now, for the questions. You KNEW there were some SOMEWHERE in this posting. Any suggestions that anyone has about good routes (yet interesting) to take going to Montana from Oklahoma and coming back from Montana to northeast MS will be much appreciated. We aren't wanting to stay at fancy places or do fancy things. Our purpose is to see the natural beauty along our route as inexpensively as we can. Any special tips that anyone can give us on safety issues (or preparation) for traveling at that time of the year to that part of the country will be much appreciated, also. ANY tips at all I will be grateful for. And, BTW, this is a great web site!!!!
