That's pretty vague! That's like saying its in between Wyoming and Canada. I'm only saying this because I'll probably be doing this by myself on Saturday and will have to rent, borrow or steal a car for this..
I'm down for this; we can take my car. Of course, this is provided we get a location ... I'm not exactly willing to spend the entire day going down lonely stretches of highway, one after the other, with the faint hope of finding the exact spot. "Keep going, kw, it's gotta be just beyond the next mountain pass ..."

That's cool! I didn't wanna spend all day in a car driving through Montana either. I figured it would be a cool way to are some more of the state too. Hopefully someone knows right where this is? Besides 81 wants to go see some potatoes!

i have no desire to drive around the 4th largest state all day looking for a yield sign....i pass one every day....they all look the same
We just need to remember that there is no yield sign at all; it was put there for the shot (or photoshopped or something). Man, can you believe finding the spot but going, "Nah, this can't be it ... no yield sign. Let's keep going."
I grew up in northern Montana, not far from Jeff's home town, and I am almost positive that it was taken along Highway 87, between Great Falls and Big Sandy. Trust me, there is no yield sign...although locals could put one up that weekend and make a lot of dough off of PJ fans posing for pictures!
So its possibly on Hwy 80/87 or Hwy 200 or Eastern Washington or Hwy 87?
Al least I'm not getting any PJ20 references!
Keep it up. Ideally I'd like someone who has been there.
There is a lot of time between now and when you are all going to be here. If I head to g falls between now and then I will get you an approximate mile marker. When yield came out and I saw the cover my first thought was, this is 200 between Missoula and g falls.
That's how distinctive the area is.
G falls is 2.5 to 3 hours from missoula.

That's what I'm looking for. Someone who has stood in the exact spot. I agree with 81, driving around the 4th biggest state looking for a certain stretch of road doesn't sound too appealing. Keep me in the back of your mind over the next couple months. Thanks.
If you have tickets to the M&G or Jeff dinner, why don't you just ask him?
I wish! But if some miracle happens and someone wants to trade 2 10c GA with early entry for 1 M&G that would be my first question. Followed by, "why didn't you answer me Jeff?"
In order to find this spot, you are going to need alot of detective work.
Yield Album Cover Photo Features:
No Guard Rails
No Electrical Lines
Fence on the left side.
Half solid-half dotted yellow line.
The Solid Yellow line is the same side as the fence.
The road is Perfectly straight.
The horizon line is a defining feature.
The width of the shoulder.
The type of curb.
You also need to realize that the vegetation will probably be different now. This what taken how many years ago? I wouldn't expect the grass to only be grass. Trees/bushes could have grown in by now. Anything that nature can change I would expect to be different.
Also, If you find the spot, please record the coordinates.
And please bring a yield sign to shove in the ground in that spot so the next time the google maps car drives by it is in the picture .
PS I might spend some down time surfacing through google maps

In PJ20 the where Jeff stops the road is a little curvy? I don't wanna give up hope. Like I said still lots of time. Just hoping that someone reads this and goes, OH SHIT! I've been there and know right where it is! Besides Jeff, but he can chime in as well.

What time/scene is it in PJ20? I remember seein git, but I don't want to spend my entire day searching for it.. Do you remember?
If not, I guess that's a good excuse to watch PJ20 again haha

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
I could do it...but how much are you willing to pay me?
or you could buy a yield sign, take it with you on the trip and you can stop in random places on the side of the road and have your pic taken with it....I'm sure you will find one that will be similar to the cover...

I had a buddy today offer to just photoshop me onto the cover itself. I never though about having to find a yield sign now too?!?! :?
