Biodiesel Montana Tour Day 2: Great Falls to the Hi-Line


Monday morning found the Tour in Great Falls. Extremely cold weather had descended over northcentral Montana with colder temps to come on the journey. All of the fuel in the bed of the truck had frozen solid and the equipment was covered over with a light dusting of snow. The crew ventured into the cold to visit Great Falls High School where they put on two shows in the school’s shop. About forty students attended each session along with a few members of the greater Great Falls community. The students were still a bit groggy from their Thanksgiving break but were attentive to the show. A couple of students seemed genuinely interested in our presentation and one student had the crew autograph a CD for him. Jason treated the crowd to five songs including a cover of an Eminem song.

After some technology bugs were worked out in Great Falls the crew once again hit the road. The roads were relatively dry from Great Falls to Box Elder but then the snow started to pick up. And on a breezy night on the Hi-Line that means everytime a big truck passes the road whites out. On an extremely cold night in northern Montana a show was performed at Stone Child College on the Rocky Boy Reservation. Despite some last minute planning the show worked out well. The five brave folks who ventured out were treated to a strong show with a personalized touch.

In Havre on a brutal night a dude, named Sleet, was riding his bike down the main street in a snow storm, cold temperatures and wind. Kyle ran out in only his T-shirt to greet him.
