Location
Cut Bank, Montana just east of Glacier Park in the northeast corner of Montana along U.S. highway 2.Time
This part of Montana has been through booms and busts. Once a hub of oil development whose days have come and gone. The boom dried up back in the 1980's and has never come back. The remnants of those boom times lie rusting in the expansive high plains of Montana. Some resourceful people pick over the remnants from more prosperous times and sell them to collectors passing through on their way to Glacier. This Deuce and a Half still runs and serves as a monument to those Montanans who are tuff and hang on in spite of the hard times. They still run too.Lighting

Nothing real special about this capture. Just the luck of finding it.
