Tiny town, pop. 23, is one of my favorites. Here sits the handsome
Dutch Henry's Club, named after a notorious horse thief. Owned by
Taryn Hauk, the club has many square tables and great western art (42
prints) on the walls. Two pictures show thieves' dens; one explains how
thieves would enlarge wolf dens as hiding places. A gentler claim to fame
is the town's brand of potato chips.

Onward to Fort Peck Lake where huge paddle fish can be found (the biggest this year is 85 pounds!) as
well as a variety of walleye, smallmouth bass, Chinook salmon, and Northern pike. I take a tour through
the two monumental powerhouses of the dam, which were built by 10,000 workers in 1930.

We get to see a rollicking performance of "The Buddy Holly
Story," a musical with dance and the best early rock n' roll
songs. Hundreds of people flock to this charming red theatre
with professional actors.

We hastily drive to Glasgow in order to get to the top of a
cliff for sunset at the Milk River, so named by William Clark
because it looked "cream colored."

Monday we fly back to Bill-
ings on a prop plane piloted
by a young woman. I see what
the "big open" means as we fly
over vast swaths of flat land.
The whirlwind trip ends. Are you ready to plan your next
road trip in eastern Montana?
