    You can "drive around" the main roads around Big Sandy via Google Earth street view, see if you can pick out some likely spots and then go there. Or at least eliminate some areas.

    What do you want, a mile marker on the highway, like between mile marker his and mile marker that? I've seen this shot very time I drive from Missoula to great falls.

    That would be amazing!!!!! You don't know how long I've spent looking for its location. I should have done this first! :oops:

    Then most likely Rt. 200?

    I heard the picture was taken somewhere along Highway 200, just east of the rocky mountain front.

    I e-mailed the 10 Club about it a while ago when this first popped up in the other thread ... no response. :(
    "Where's KW?"
    "Let's check Idaho."

    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 ..." :lol:

    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!

    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."

    :fp: :lol:

    Damn it.
  • 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!

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
    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.
