2K22 (EP 81) Interstate 90 in Montana: Billings to Livingston

[@countenanceblog]

Though I know you have to avoid actually using this kind of music in the official video soundtrack to avoid copywrong strikes, I listened to "Montana Cafe" by Hank Williams Jr to start this video out.

Live in WV and I can tell you Montana is a state with the state sights.

[@mattwiser8406]

Nice one! Some very beautiful country you were driving through. Though pleasant-looking, still... a nice playlist for music, a codriver for some conversation, and a radar detector are a must!

[@InterstateKyle]

Thanks Matt!

Another thing worth mentioning here. The speed limit thing. Around 1994 or so, the Feds finally gave up on mandating a national maximum speed limit. At first, Montana's rural speed limit was "Reasonable and Proper." However, they quickly had to give up on that and set an actual number, because "R&P" violated what is called "substantive due process." Meaning you can't have vague laws, because they are sitting ducks for subjective enforcement, which in turn violates the spirit of due process.

Montana is a massive state. driving across the state east/west, west/east can take forever. it can take you almost a whole day to cross the state.

[@GreatAussieDrives]

The Crazy Mountains sure do look amazing off in the distance lol. Montana looks incredibly beautiful as always, you must've had a blast filming then editing this one! 😃

[@InterstateKyle]

It is a great drive and I loved working on this video!

[@dwood78part23]

Montana is what I expect it to be- from glasslands on the Eastern part to having mountains & forest the farther West one travels. While I can't to see your upcoming video on Bozeman Pass, I always wonder how I-90 looks at the Continental Divide.

[@InterstateKyle]

It’s not as dramatic as points farther to the south but it’s still the highest point on the longest interstate in the country. That video will be out in like 2-3 weeks.

[@JailEnforcement]

Yo Kyle, will you make it up to Idaho and do a video on Coeur D’ Alene and Spokane?

[@InterstateKyle]

I don’t have a video of Spokane. The filming conditions were not ideal when I got to that point later in the day.

[@JailEnforcement]

@@InterstateKyleOkay thanks, but will you have a vid of Coeur D’ Alene or Lookout? I watched ur old lookout one.

[@InterstateKyle]

@@JailEnforcement Yeah, I'll have a video driving across all of the Idaho Panhandle before ending at the last exit in Idaho before Washington.

Oh wow, that stretch of I-90 between Billings and Livingston is a bit more interesting than I would have imagined. I thought it was all flat east of Livingston.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

As you drove towards Livingston, MT, congratulations! You just reached the eastern edge of the Rockies once again. I can't wait to see Bozeman, MT and another drive through the Rockies, but in Montana.

[@kevinfestner6126]

You made it to the real Trans Canada Highway!

[@mrmoore1972]

You and I have the same philosophy: at least 100 miles before breakfast! Your camera does amazing work in making it seem like I myself am driving in Montana!

[@InterstateKyle]

I’m not much of a breakfast person I just eat when I start feeling hungry if I’m being honest.

[@OnTheRoadWithDan]

I drove this stretch of I-90 from Billings to Livingston in 2018 on my way to Yellowstone, very nice ride and US Route 89 South to Yellowstone was amazing.

[@InterstateKyle]

I’ve been on that road and yes it is an amazing drive!

[@jedidiahwilkinson4217]

Great Ride but check out the mountains and some routes that lead to them in the future trip to Montana

[@InterstateKyle]

Sounds like a plan!

[@michaelsharp3615]

Bozeman and Livingston fast growing cities in Montana and the airport has added new airlines and flights too. Alternative from Jackson in Wyoming.

[@InterstateKyle]

I think the Bozeman airport is now the busiest in the state if I’m not mistaken.

[@michaelsharp3615]

@@InterstateKyle it might be especially with Southwest flying there now

[@ohlsen1973]

Bozeman is supposedly the future home of one Zefram Cochrane from Star Trek

[@InterstateKyle]

That’s cool!
