Because the Mediocre Host was so tardy in posting the #opcSpecialTheme yesterday, I’m sneaking in this photo from my second trip to #Montana in 2007.

This wasn’t my first time crossing into Montana on the trip—we had spent the prior several days in Glacier National Park—but it was the first time I had ever walked across a state border. This sign at Fort Union Trading Post NHS is located between the main parking lot in Montana and the fort in North Dakota.
