Directions to Ed’s house: Take the
South
Billings Blvd. exit off of Interstate 90 in
Billings
and go south. This will
Cross the river and turn into
Blue
Creek Road. Continue on that same road for 13 miles, it then turns
to a “T” where
You will see a sign to Pryor and will turn right (again to
the south). After 16 miles, you come to Pryor and another
“T”. There is a gas station at that spot, turn right and
follow that paved road. When you go about 1 mile, you come
to the
St.
Charles Mission School and you will be 1.1 miles from his turn off.
Ed will have a big sign at his turn-off
where you will turn right again and go over the creek,
through the creek and up to his house (1/4 mile off pavement).
You are now in paradise! Your cell phone will only work while
in the town of
Pryor,
near the post office… so if you
get lost and can find Pryor, go to that point and call Ed or
Lesley at (406) 254-1267.
There are lots of motels at any of the
Billings exits except the one you take to Ed’s house. The King Ave.
exit
A couple of miles west of the
S.
Billings Blvd. exit has Motel 6, Holiday Inn, Super 8, Comfort Inn
and others.
Most of the shopping is found on that exit as well.
