…. “Beyond those buildings are mountains and snowfields. ……Sylvia says John has talked to someone in town about another route to Bozeman, south through Yellowstone Park.“

Burlington Northern Railroad Switch Yard, 203 East Main Street, Laurel, MT. Look closely on both sides of the far white building. You will, faintly, see the dark of the distant mountains to the South and somewhat East. But to look in the direction of the highest mountains and Red Lodge, MT would require turning 45 degrees to the right, and loot to the Southwest.

… Concerning The /\ Above /\ Photo, Showing A HUGE Version Of The Common Dandelions.
….This interesting plant looks like a huge version of the common Eastern USA dandelion. The white sphere (~3 inches diameter) at left is an example of the seedhead formed by a multitude of white tufts that will blow away in strong winds.
…I never saw a partly blown-away seedhead, so it must take a fierce wind to begin the process! The plant in center (~24 inches high) has several blossom heads that have closed-up after blooming. I never did see what the blossom looked like.
