Next stop is Big Timber near the Crazy Mountains

The legend is that they used to be called The Crazy Woman Mountains. There's a good story there, if you can find someone to tell it to you.

Supposedly a wagon train was going through the area and was attacked by Indians. One woman escaped and ran up into the mountains where she roamed alone for years. The Indians' thought she was a spirit of some kind and left her alone. Or, so the story goes. Ask someone at the restaurant, maybe they can tell you. Good gas stop and they have a great Hot Beef Sandwich.

Lois and I visited the Big Timber Senior Citizen Center for lunch one day years ago. They start lunch with dessert and laughingly point out that, "you should always start out with the good stuff, in case you don't make it through to the stuff that's good for you." That's probably true about most things in life. Anyway, a good laugh can't hurt anyone. At least that's the way those Big Timber folks see it.
