Field to Freeway

Post by peter frost »

I was actually on I-80 when I spotted it, my 5th of this vintage, the silloette I can spot 5 miles away. 28-32 are my years. Can't get away from those running boards and those big fenders and the big headlamps.
This one in Montana I got from a cowboy for $250.

I paid him on the spot and said I'd come back for it. When I did he asked me. "I coulda said $500. and you woudda said yep, just as fast huh?"
"You coulda said a grand, and I would have yes as easy as I did the two fifty." Since he had previously been paid I gave him a Jackson and told him to go celebrate at the bar on me, cause now his field is clear.

I still know where some of these lie in case I ever get back to the mainland.

You have great eyes! I-80 doesn't come anywhere near Montana! Maybe I-90?

been almost 20 years could be !-90, now you got me wonderin hold on...

yep you's right I-90 between Butte and Missoula actually.

Used to cross I-80 mostly that goes thru Colo. hey it's been awhile since I've been out there on them there freeways. I think the highest speed limit in this state is 55. And we don't have any freeways here on the BI.

80 cuts through Wyoming and Nebraska. 70 goes through Colorado and Kansas. 80 is the preferred route for me, much easier crossing the rockies on 80 than the 70 through Colorado. The trade-off is; Colorado is prettier than Wyoming.
