I have no clue... i'm a truck seems on it. someone will have to being along a yield sign, post and all, if you are going to go in search of this spot ... that would be a pretty awesome photo!! Feeling jealous of the 81 tour of 2012 btw. Sounds like you guys are going to have an amazing trip! (I'm just lurking on this thread in case someone mentions spare.tickets! )
He says head east on hwy 200 through lincoln into great falls. then talks about big sandy?
you guys know that Big Sandy is really close to the Canadian border right?
I'm pretty sure the cross street/mile marker is on FB somewhere...I'm searching.

Hwy 87 north of Great Falls MT near Black Horse Lake
but then Wiki says: The album's cover art shows an empty road underneath a bright blue sky with a yield sign on the right-hand side of the road. The front cover art image was taken from a photograph of a road outside Billings, Montana,
I believe the Great Falls mention, since it's closer to Big Sandy. There really is a lot of 'nothing' between towns...just big open sky. I think you could take a pic in front of almost any Yield sign in MT, and it would look just like the cover.

this would be a great question for the AET radio show. :fp:
don't know why that made me laugh so hard? something you rarely hear!
we are like 10-15 miles from the border....quick easy trip to knock it off the 50 state bucket list.[/quote]
10-15 miles?!?!?! what map are you using? Missoula is 100 miles from the Idaho border.

Ah, but the special thing about the cover is that there is actually nothing to yield for on the road... a functional yield sign would ruin the metaphor!

Looks like there are some hot springs out that way...
For the record, I've never had the need to look at the map, we drive straight thru. Only once was I able to convince him to take a different route...I wanted to go to Phillipsburg and mine for sapphires, then I found out the place was in a store, I had to sift thru a bucket of rocks :(
I still want to mine for sapphires.

might be 100 miles up I90
looks like if you head south/southwest towards lolo and then into the national park. 35 miles is my official guess
i'm going.

Glad I'm married to a flight attendant.
Amsterdam, Prague & Berlin is a much better alternative for us
