160 miles from the border we found our little, and I mean little town.
A gas station/RV Park office/convenience store in a 100 year-old building, a U.S. Post office, and a old bar in the tiny town is all you get. Oh, it has a multitude of empty buildings along the main drag, some pretty well kept up, a couple restored. It doesn’t take long for me to bike the length of town down to the railroad tracks.
The old bar is the show here, like an old time saloon, complete with the large wood-burner and cattle dog laying on the floor. I can sit in there and imagine the dead of winter here, cowboys and ranchers coming in the front door, stomping the snow off their boots, rubbing their hands together and heading straight for the 6’ tall glowing wood stove. Above, there are hand-cut wooden beams and posts, carved and written on by the thousands of visitors and tourists over time.
If you had to come up with everyone’s idea of a small town country bar, this would be it. Glad we found Reed Point Montana.
