Traveling thru northern Montana is a little like driving thru the desert – lots of wide-open spaces, endless sky, deserted, dry, and not densely populated. After breakfasting at a picnic table at the local elementary school in Conrad, MT and endless pit stops at towns too small to warrant a place on the map, we arrived in Havre. Our goal was to get to a museum on the famous dinosaur trail that runs thru the sate of Montana. Imagine our dismay when we drive up to a shopping mall – the address matching that of the museum (see photo left). We parked the car and entered what can only be described as the saddest mall in America, which was home to a dollar store, an army-recruiting center, a natural/Wicca shop, a Sears, an army surplus-type store, and the beloved museum, which was closed. The museum was a small room located in the far back corner of the mall. Basically, someone decided to rent out the space to store his or her oddball artifacts. Not a great find.
