The GREAT REEDPOINT MONTANA RUNNING OF THE SHEEP

This is where my husband was born. He lived there until his teens then they moved to Billings. His mother and father owned a restaurant there and when the freeway went through they didn’t have customers anymore. He told me about the TWO STORY OUT HOUSE that was attached to some building.

The rumor at least in the beginning of the running of the sheep was they ran the sheep around in a circle to make it look like there were LOTS of sheep. LOL!

Spirit, having been a truck driver you will probably relate to this one. He mispronounces the name though but he is forgiven as he is from Illinois. :-)

I am doing genealogy and I love to go to YouTube and travel through the towns where my ancestors were from.

A two story outhouse? I think I’d rather go to the second story.
On one of our trips to Alabama to see my grandma, one of my dad’s favorite stories was when we stopped at an outhouse because I needed to go. But there were two of them, so I ran back to the car to ask him which was mens and womens.

There’s a two-story outhouse close to Mattoon IL (spent the night there on my way back from Joliet last month). Thought about visiting but it was a bit too out-of-the-way for my taste.

Apparently there’s been several two-story outhouses. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/29012

Nice little town. Bit less than an hour from The Homestead, depending on weather.

Don't know about that outhouse, although there have been a bunch of Tourist Trap Oddities like that constructed, especially when you get closer to Yellowstone.

Got extra familiar with Reed Point about five years ago. Had a major league fire along about fifty miles of the Interstate around there. You still can see the Sierra Club Clear Cut on the South side of the road.

Sierra Club Clear Cut = The unburned/half-burned leftovers from a fire that have been declared off-limits to reclamation/recovery of any usable timber by proclamation of Environazis and their pet Judges.

Nice deal. Now we get to wait for the next lightning strike to set off the tinder box they've left so maybe the [BLEEPS] can get somebody killed (or at least burned out) in the next fire.

(Spit on the ground and walk away)
