Harlowton Montana - US Highway 12 - Little Belt Mountains

[@grizsam]

Oh my goodness, just stumbled across your video! You were traveling in the area I grew up in! I was born in Harlowton and grew up in White Sulphur Springs! Brought back SO many memories…hope you enjoyed the area. I don’t know if you remember the Graves Hotel in Harlowton, but it burned down last weekend. It was a gorgeous old hotel built in 1904 I believe, huge loss for the community…

[@nelsonshortt7682]

Worked in Harlowton for 5 years while in the Air Force. Great area.

[@cathymiller3086]

I appreciate all your videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ped832]

At 11:24 you are passing a small reservoir on your way to Harlowton. My Grandfather helped construct that back in the day. I better quit getting nostalgic, this is your video not mine..

[@martyrose]

Still beautiful country Russ! Geez. You already have a full time job...drive, navigate, video, narrate, edit, upload, field comments, maintain your equipment, camp, make coffee, shop, cook, and spoil us, just to name a few! Thanks for all your hard work! It's much appreciated!😀🌻💙

[@gerardbauer4035]

My son lives in Townsend and while visiting him each summer I drive the same road your on when I go to Helena to shop. Its very cool to be sitting at home in Florida watching your video and be familiar with the road your on. I have driven it many times. I love it there. I lived in Dillon, Montana for 23 years so many of the roads your traveling on your trip are quite familiar to me. Brings back wonderful memories. Thank you so very much for your videos.

[@judyabernathy80]

Love the wide open spaces! Beautiful, old, town has such charm. Thanks for the continued excellent videos, Russ. I look forward to your videos the most! 🐾❤️🐾

[@chrisgale5634]

I agree, I.much prefer these places to the big cities

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

some of my old Ohio family rode out there on the RR and homesteaded. they are buried in Lavina & their family's moved to Seattle.Thanks again Russ....KC...!

[@jerryball7783]

You mention family buried in Lavina... wow small world. I have my great grand parents, a grand aunt, an aunt and uncle that died as infants buried there. My parents that are still living met in Lavina and have burial plots there as well! When Russ talks about small town USA. Lavina is so small he didn't even comment on it, ha! Very small and what are the odds of two people with ancestors in the same very small cemetery writing in the comments of this video!!! Thanks for sharing BR!

[@dalekundtz760]

Once again Russ, you do not disappoint those of us who follow you. We get to travel with you while sitting at our sticks and bricks. I love seeing small town USA. From your comments about Montana, I take it that when you hit half a tank, start look for go-go juice? Be safe on the road my friend.

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Big Sky Country !! Great work 👍😊Safe travels to you

[@rfbush]

Did you notice the old Milwaukee Road electric locomotive on display where you turned right in town? That was the coolest part of the video!

[@avlisk]

I saw it, too, and was hoping to get a closer look.

[@Al-fl1gq]

I was working for them when they retired the electrics. Went to Harlowton once when I lived in Billings

[@bergenmysse7713]

Richard Bush I’m From Harlowton and our town Is know for the railroad, our school mascot is an engineer

[@glennoconnor2980]

Three years ago my brother and I stopped to take pix of the electric.

[@ped832]

The E57-B. I watched that thing work when I was a kid growing up in Harlo in the "60's. I miss everyplace you are traveling through, because I had family in every town you went through. Thanks for the video.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Beautiful...Thank you..

[@leann4925]

Enjoyed the drive Russ as its so amazing . You can let your imagination run wild as to what those small towns were like back in the day. Montana has its own uniqueness. Thanks you so much.

[@tcherinacombe9110]

This is wonderful getting to see small towns and seeing what traveling on the roads is like. Like your videos very much keep em coming!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Take your time and enjoy yourself, we will watch when you post. 😊 Not a bad drive, pretty. Like those small towns, unique. Deer in your front yard, cant beat that!. 😊👍

[@golddigger9326]

Amazing your campground came with dinner to, unbelievable!!!! Man I love Montana, can't wait to get there . Gold and fresh meat at the campground, don't get any better than that

[@misterhipster9509]

Harlowton was the beginning of the Milwaukee Road electrified line to Avery Idaho. RIP Were facing south and remnants of the rail yard @ the south end of Main St. I see the Cattlemans bar sign still stands.

[@garywinn660]

That's ok Russ. We can only watch one video at a time anyway!

[@chrisr6157]

Hi Russ! Great video! US Highway 12 is sure a beautiful drive through Montana! Thank you for taking us on this journey! I really look forward to your videos. Safe travels.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

A few years ago, drove 12, where it hits 287 they had it torn up, wash board. We stayed at that little campground on the way to Canada.

[@jesscarey7666]

Awesome video Russ!! I'm watching this from a campsite in Oshkosh Wisconsin!! Take care sir!!

[@tinarobinson3781]

That White Sulphur Springs hot springs is simply the BEST! 3 boiling pools & remodeled too

[@msr1116]

I love a couple of cooler, drizzly, overcast days in summer as respite from the heat. Driving is much easier too without the bright, blinding glare of the sun streaming into the windshield for hours.

[@seriousearthling]

Not sure why the commercials go on 4 times louder than your video - just like regular TV.

[@187thregiment]

I have been to Yellowstone National Park and Gricier National Park in Montana, however I found the State of Montana is a great country from your video. Many thanks,

[@Sewspcl]

Never been to Montana. Thanks for the ride.

[@kenwilson3893]

great as usual thanks

[@gregwarner3753]

Watching the drive is a great way of spending a Sunday morning in the time of Covis. We visited northern Idaho and Montana last year. We drove our C-6 'Vette from New Hampshire . Eventually we crossed MT on US 2. We plan shorter trips next year.

[@Online_ToughGuy]

Dang that’s a long trip in a small car like that! Fun I bet.

[@mattanderson6336]

13:18-Milwaukee Road Boxcab electric locomotive on display. Harlowton was the east end of electrified railroad on the Milwaukee.

[@darylwhetstone3959]

Looking forward to your next video, as my daughter and grandkid live in Glendive. Safe travels.

[@henrywardell4635]

We Love RVerTV Best TV On KZbin. Thank you Russ.

[@whoflungdung1046]

Jolly Good Show

[@februaryninth3304]

Watching from my little village in North Scotland, now there's a place you want to tour, you won't be lonely either, met two guys last week from Nashua NH who were gold panning in the mountain rivers.... respect to you, keep up the great work

[@februaryninth3304]

@Lance Eastridge Hi Lance, Yes it is stunning here, if you are not good with the cold avoid the winter as we can get down to 30 below, summers are nice, this year we got into to the 70s ... hope to see you over here soon.

[@tazmod7272]

It is interesting how wide the streets are in the towns. No people walking the streets. You got some furry friends visiting with you.

[@Prince70065]

Really nice channel keep up good work explore more places so we get see it 👍

[@garysmart3586]

My family's Montana roots start there 1868 or 79 lol, was tipsy at the reunion( fathers side)...might be where I retire & die when the time comes...Robertson/Smart clan, Scotland forever!

[@Ruby-gd9kb]

Love Roy's Western Wear at the gas station! Bless you~

[@LadyMarie880]

Big sky country Russ creeks by the road .....water really moven. the deer were surprised to see you... safe journey....... I hope your visit to Helena would be good....old friends are a good thing...bye

[@garywinn660]

WOW, I like your sky and cactus, that's nice.

[@winnabegobob1547]

I love montana

[@Hogger280]

Harlowton was the Eastern terminus of the Milwaukee Road's Electrification between Harlowton and Avery Idaho. The depot still stands as well as the roundhouse(now a cow barn). You passed one of the Box Cabs built by GE for the Milw.

[@percymcnabb4746]

thanks for sharing

[@roymyers549]

just for your information east helena dose not have a coal fired genarator the smoke stacks you are seeing are from a lead smelter

[@thejerseyj1636]

I love rolling through the old towns. Unfortunately, that's about all you can do in them anymore. Although, I do try to patronise the cafes and stores that are still open. Shopping malls have killed the little downtowns of America, so sad.

[@andywerner838]

No if you blink you miss mile city not Helena lol..😎😎😎😎😎

[@marjoriekelley4392]

There is no coal plant in East Helena. I've lived here for 23 years, and we used to have ASARCO which smelted lead and such, but never any coal.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

You're always stopping for ice! Must have a cooler..which cooler do you have? I bought nIce 45 qt last year. Really works well.

[@wittelarry1]

Keep em coming Russ

[@thaiidahooutdoors7410]

Probably drove through my hometown of White Sulphur Springs :)

[@unclejake154]

You do great tours. Thanks.

[@kellyemontana62]

Deep Creek Canyon is in the Big Belts. I grew up in Townsend.

[@paulthomas2337]

Russ what kind of work did you do in Montana??

[@bryant448]

Wish I knew you were in town. I really like your videos. Maybe catch ya in Quartzite.

[@girlgirl4548]

These wide open spaces are so wonderful. The only thing I know in Europe that comes close would be driving in the more empty parts of Spain, in parts of Andalucia or Extremedura. Perhaps Russia as well, at least going on videos of train journeys there. Thank you.

[@rvquiltquest7062]

Great Video!! What is the name of that music you play. I really like it. Safe Travels.

[@stephenlacher5460]

Didn't see an Amazon Prime truck!

[@oddopops1327]

👋😊

[@flyinsquirrel48]

Way to go BuddyBoy! 🌲🐿🌲

[@tilmonhensley443]

I want to live in montana before i die,,

[@Dakota-xi6cg]

Are you in Montana yet?

[@cadintate4287]

I live in Helena and I love your videos! You should go up to hylight lake. Sorry for misspelling

[@keithharlow210]

Looks like another place I have to go.

[@vidguy007]

Nice little towns Roughly what kind of mileage do you get on this trip versus if you were towing the cargo trailer?

[@kitdinker]

Oh deer.

[@gregory2622]

😎👍👍

[@comradejakobe1564]

Do you miss your motorhome yet? Lol

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Small town living, everyone knows everyone and their relatives. I'm guessing you spend a lot of money on gas up there. Long distances between towns and shopping areas. It makes a person wonder how folks make a living up there. Nice mule deer. Probably more deer than people. Happy trails.

[@rat-fink11]

No gas is rather cheap before the war in Ukraine

[@pkh4340]

You missed Two Dot? Shame!

[@user-ql2id3ml3i]

you posted the worst part of Rv-ing, the driving. sorry not my favorite type of video
