Viewing Album:  Montana and South Dakota Trip
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:6/8/2008 - 6/6/2008
Album Info:In search of something different, I went to South Dakota and Montana, shooting the old Milwaukee Road's mainline out west. While the trains are hard to come by, the scenery and wildlife is much more interesting than some would imagine.
