<\/a><\/p>\nPassing them all…<\/p>\n
\u2018Stache\u2019s Birthday (#13!) was this weekend, and he wanted to to go camping. \u00a0To go somewhere different the DD#1\u2019s family went to the fishing access near Hardy Creek Bridge, on the frontage road on the way to Helena.<\/p>\n
We decided to go visit them\u2026and the trouble started…<\/p>\n
We order Jimmy John\u2019s to pickup, and they were slammed by the Saturday lunch crowd when we got there. \u00a0I waited in the store for at least 25 minutes. \u00a0Then the sirens started!<\/p>\n
There was a funeral for a former fire fighter, and everyone in town seems to have shown up. \u00a0The road from 9th Street to at least Warden Bridge was packed. \u00a0All three lanes: cop cars, fire trucks, well wishers, and funeral attendees. \u00a0We thought we\u2019d head down to Central and use the other on ramp to southbound I15.<\/p>\n
We finally got on I15 and it wasn\u2019t bad until the fender bender in the right lane between the 10th Avenue South exit we missed and the Airport exit, which funneled everyone into the left lane. \u00a0After that the funeral traffic returned to the right lane and we sped off in the left at\u202640 MPH. \u00a0No one wanted to pass a cop car with their lights on.<\/p>\n
The first photo is going down the hill into Ulm. \u00a0You can see all of the steady stream of cars from Great Falls getting off I15 and trying to go through Ulm. \u00a0The second photo is the center of the first enlarged.<\/p>\n
