Blinking at Montana’s between Mt. Shasta, CA and Rapid City, SD on a quick solo round trip July 12-20 in my white Ford pickup I logged the following units. Nobody blinked back. Probably thought I was nuts! Were any of these MOC members?

11:55 AM 12 miles west of Lovelock NV.
3:50 PM just west of Elko NV.
4:12 PM between Elko and Wells NV.

10:40 AM at Ft. Bridger WY.
2:20 PM 52 miles west of Rawlins WY.
2:30 PM met the Peterson’s from Wisconsin enjoying their new Montana at the Ft. Steele rest stop east of Rawlins WY. Made them aware of MOC.

Thursday 7/15 you were westbound on I 80
8:40 AM 12 miles east of Laramie WY.

Sunday 7/18 you were northbound on State Hwy 79 12 miles south of Rapid City SD @ 8:45 AM.

Sunday 7/18 you were pulling into a Flying J truck stop just south of the I 80/I 25 interchange in Cheyenne WY @ 1:42 PM.

3:10 PM west of Elko NV.

Tuesday 7/20 at 8:15 AM at the Flying J truck stop in Winnemucca NV. Appeared to be 2 new units in transport to dealers.

Tuesday 7/20 you were eastbound on I 80 at the interchange with US 95
10:12 AM 36 miles east of Fernley NV.

Tuesday 7/20 you were stopped by traffic control road construction southbound on Hwy 89 near Hat Creek CA @ 3:00 PM.

I’ve decided to start marking Montana’s as waypoints on my GPS and use a small tape recorder instead of trying to write the info down while driving. Much safer for all of us.

Hope you all arrived safely at your destinations.

Searchers, I was not on the road going west but you passed right by me. I am parked in a RV park along the side of I80, 14 miles east of Elko, NV I may have waved at you when you went by I always wave when I see a Montana going by.

Wow, sounds like you were on a Montana hunt --think you win for spotting the most units (seventeen) on your jaunt to SD -- that's a lot of Monty's on the move!

Britney 10, I only logged Montana's on the move, but did see your rig as well as 4-5 others in RV parks on the trip. I was traveling without my unit at the time. Vickster, I thought it was quite a few units in that period of time also. Guess I was just bored and looking for something to do while driving alone.
