Thanks. I'm enjoying your journal :)

I’ve thought of you several times this trip. You are excellent at photographing old buildings/signs/textures. You would be very busy on this route so far.

I obsessively photograph "eggs for sale" signs (often hand-lettered) on my rides for some reason, but I've never seen one this creative.

"I've never ever had a negative experience with a motorcycle."

Me too. I consider them "cousins" of a sort, unified in our shared hatred of aggressive/distracted/stupid car and truck drivers.

Definitely a small western town - big enough to have a school and post office and not much else. But I like the name!

Good sleuthing! It’s fun when your work turns up something unusual.

Looks more like a utility pole to me but what it's doing in that orientation I have no idea, unless it wasn't possible to securely anchor the stabilizing / bracing cables to keep it upright so they put an A frame in to support it.

Amusing name for an egg stand.

Google guesses that it might be a rare example of the 1960 Dodge Dart / Phoenix. The Phoenix was an Australian variant of the Dart, but apparently was also available elsewhere. Here's a link to one for same in the Netherlands- it's even the same color!

Try getting Coke Lite next time.

Looks likely to me too, with the provision for a line waiting outside.

Nice, one for Buddy.

I guess you're out of Salted Nut Roll country. Kind of like when I travel to places where they never heard of India Pale Ale (IPA). Those places only know about Budweiser, Miller, and Coors.
I have noticed that V-8 is no longer sold in every convenience store. But still not hard to find.

John Stephens introduced me to the V-8 juice/salted nut roll combo on our touring day between Pagosa Springs, CO and Chama, NM.

I've had trouble in recent years finding a V-8 juice. I've never thought a salted nut roll was an issue. They are readily available everywhere we ride. Or, were available!

My description would be that a salted nut roll has a white fluffy filling, almost marshmallow like. The Payday is a lower profile bar with a nougat made of peanut butter. I had to ask google for help on the description.

That's a combo I only eat while touring. I may have to adjust my tastes, I'm having trouble finding both of my favorites!

Wikipedia says Salted Nut Roll is sold in the Midwestern United States, made by the Pearson candy company in Saint Paul, Minnesota since 1933 (a year after Payday bar was launched). What kind of places sell Salted Nut Roll in Montana?
