Billings to Scobey with a stop at Pompey's Pillar

Today I began the last stretch of my Tour de Montana. This morning I met up with my friend and first client, Carrie. I am sooo proud of her. She is doing great, about 18lbs down from our first meeting 5 months ago. We went to the gym together and then she gave me a quick haircut while we chatted about her lifestyle change and success. It’s fun to see change in action and very motivating for me in doing what I do.
At lunch I was able to catch up my cousin Heidi and then took off for Scobey. This trip was different. I decided to take the time to do some things, take some pictures, see some extra people, capture the moment a little and actually take the time to look around at my surroundings. I am usually on a such straight track to get to where I am going that I forget where I have been. So after leaving Billings I decided to stop at Pompey’s Pillar about 30 miles out. I have seen the signs every single time I drive that highway and never took the time to stop. It was pretty cool. There is a little interpretive center there with pictures and videos on the Lewis and Clark journey as well as the Indian history in the area. Then you can climb up the long staircase to the top of the pillar and see W. Clark’s signature carved into the rock about half way up. Was cool to take the time to see a little bit of history.

After leaving Pompey’s Pillar, I stopped in Mile City to see my Aunt Jane and Cousin Justin and Jackie and there kiddos. Was great to catch up with family I haven’t seen in a while. An hour later, I took off to complete the last leg of my trip up to good’ole Scobey.
