It may have been Dell, twenty five years ago, me and my youngest boy who was still just a pup, was headed up to Great Falls to visit friends and snoop round one of the Montana Arms Collectors gun shows, but there was a bit of a run down, one pump gas station with a sign that simple said "GUNS". Stopped, and danged if he didnt have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy 38-55! I had the matchin rifle in 45-70, and always had a spot for the 38-55, as I used Dad's old Marlin so chambered to take my first spike bull when I was twelve with my Dad in 1966. Well, I bought it on the spot! Was a shooter, too, soon as I figured out that she didnt like the "short" cases, and preferred 375" diameter slugs. Never did put the sights on any game with it, though, always had something else in my hands. Lots of interesting gold field/ranching/real life robbery, murder, hangin's not to mention the buffler jumps and Native history goin' back to ancient times in that area. That stretch of I-15, at night, in a blizzard, or fog so dense ya cant see the end of yer hood, is the longest 90 miles tween the border and Butte that I ever drove, some nights. Watchin the clock, needin to check in by 0400, and midnight is just rollin' up, back in the day before the interstate was finished, and between Butte and Boulder, through the mountains was old, two lane with whit crosses scattered the entire stretch at every corner and curve. 0100 on the watch at Boulder, and still got the grade to get to Helena. Shoulda gone the old way up through Three Forks, but that choice went away waay back. Another big hill north of Helena, and its 0230, then ya drop into the canyon and follow the Missouri on a white knuckle drive till ya finally break out on the flats at Ulm, the Bronco smells the barn. Through the gate, past the SP's at 0345, just enough time to wash my face, shave, shove by shakin' legs into a set of fatigues and make it to formation...... Have a great one! Thanks for takin' us on the ride!
Ha! Sounds like a long night, but fun! 38-55 is a great cartridge. Cindy's half scale Sharps rifle is chambered for it. I would like to find a lever gun in it someday.
@@MuskratOutdoors The Henry is chambered for it, brass and steel frame, side loading. Winchester/Miroku/FN still chamber the 1894 for it. Otherwise, the older 94's, 1895 Marlins, and old 1893 Marlins are your best bet, but they're few and far between round here, it seems. I believe best way is gonna be to find one online, probably come out of the east coast, Midwest, maybe southeast white tail country. I've got a barrel blank and a 336 Marlin 30-30 I'm gonna rebarrel someday. In the meantime, I've got Dad's Big Bore 94 375 Winchester, the high pressure, high velocity loading of the round. It's a dandy!
You mentioned Gracy's in your post. That really rang some bells for me. I used to go to her store many times in '78-'79. I bought a plastic stock 12 ga Winchester from her which I gave to one of my sons. He still has it. Thanks for your channel.. I have my farm up for sale here in Utah, and am planning to buy a small ranch in Idaho. I will stop by someday...
I remember the people of Dell and the surrounding area being good, friendly, and hardworking. Very approachable and willing to carry on a conversation with someone they didn't know just as much as someone they knew. Hopefully it's still that way.
There is or was a really good Mexican food truck/van in Dillon that the last time I ate there was 4 or 5 years ago. Really good and authentic. Thanks for sharing.
I love to watch smart dogs when you're traveling.. They watch what is up ahead, as if remembering where they're going. (to a certain extent, I believe they DO!) Thanks for taking us along with you. 🤠👍
They are really smart. They sit like that the whole trip and I think they enjoy it as much as we do. Places we go a lot, they do know all of the usual stops also.
Good morning muskrat and Cindy have a great day and stay safe and warm out there. Seeing all those mountains really makes a guy want to disappear and find a good spot to build a cabin
Your trip brings back memories for me. I used to live in Dillon in 1978-79. I worked at Hilldreth Homes with an old friend of mine. I should have never left!! Dillon was the very best hunting and fishing that I have ever had. I fished the Beaverhead and the Clark Canyon many times. Thanks for your channel, Ron Wood (Gold Star Father)
Very Neat! I like the Dillon area. The town itself is too big, but the country is neat. I've fished Clark Canyon, but not in a lot of years. Never have hunted there though. We did go antelope hunting near Judith Gap though. (Mid State Montana).
What a great road trip! I appreciate you taking the time to video all those places that I have never been to and probably won't get to. America was built on small towns and communities. I grew up in the little community of Brazil, TN. We would always remark, "Brazil, TN, two stores and a cotton gin."Have a blessed day, my friends. PB
Good morning Gary Thanks for the road trip. I really enjoyed it. Looks like you folks enjoyed it as well, including the dogs. Dell seems like my kind of town. My wife wouldn't agree though.
Great trip Gary & Cindy! Thanks so much for taking us along. I was a bit behind on your videos,we had no internet over the weekend, they repaired it today. So I believe this one catches me up.😊👍
There's a little more going on at Dell than when i had lived there. Man! That was back before the interstate was completed from the reservoir to Dillon. It's nice to see it again. Thanks.
It sure is a small world. I live in Kansas and not far from me I met a gal that has a husband who was a train engineer up in Montana and Idaho. She told me that at one time he was an engineer for U.P. and ran the train that went through Dell.
Thank you for the tour of the area. We used to have an old hardware store that had parts and items from over the last 75 years on high shelves. I loved going in there just for the smell and to look at the inventory. Burned down a few years back. I sure miss it.
Good afternoon, I always loved Montana. Pretty cool how they had no speed limit as well as free running cows. Thanks for the journey. Have a great evening
Awesome road trip video. Even green bulls. Awesome food and great things on the auction paper your wife has an awesome hat that looks nice. Say hi from East Coast cabin fever guy thank you very much for the video Brother.
Really enjoyed the road trip.you aught to do more of them for us but I know gas isn't cheap. I just love Montana and Idaho. Used to go up there hunting every year.anyway double thumbs up on this one !
Good morning young man, Cindy and dogs. Looked like a great trip. Nice to get the hog and a great sandwich stop. Glad you got home safe. Have a great Sunday.
Good mornin and many blessings Gary & Cindy. Thank the Lord I watched part 2 !!! I thought I was hearing things yesterday? Today I realized the "Ringing bell" is from the pup's. LOL Guess this old man isn't that senile after all. Enjoyed your road trip very much. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow what a nice road trip video you guys! Having never been to Montana myself I very much enjoyed the drive over there. I like those little towns. I could probably get by okay in a place like Dillon. Find some work, make some new friends and be happy 😊.
Good morning!might have to take some meat over there just for the drive.our local butcher is very expensive and their skins are like chewing leather.i dont think they use real pig or sheep casings anymore.thanks again and enjoy your pig.im sure its gonna be deliscious.have a great day.
We haven't tried this butcher before. I like "Pete's Meat" here in Salmon, but we have been told he does a good job. I don't think Cindy had any links made? I'm not really sure why? Those little piggy sausages are great!
Gary spring road trip the second part for the time of year . Tks for beautiful scenery road trip from O’Regan’s Newfoundland 😊. When gas price drop from $9 per gallon . 😮
Enjoyed the road trip! Hamburger looked really good too! So do you buy a whole pig that has been processed or just whatever cuts of meat you want? Always good to get back home! Have a Blessed Day Friends! Justin
For years that old schoolhouse in Dell it was called yesterday's Cafe that was pretty famous with the truck drivers sorry to say it was closed it changed owners about 4 years ago when we pass through always stopped at Dell. Heard about it from the traveling salesman. That meat shop looked fairly new.
That’s down where my wife and I got our third Boxer dog Justy. I remember thinking it was a beautiful place as she ran around the fields. She didn’t know mom and dad had just showed up.
Part one Montana road trip in Baker I was five in 1960 when I lived in the little white house on the NE corner of Highway 28 and Baker Lane across from that new store. The old gas station/ post office and general store was across 28 on the South West corner was still in operation then. Almost straight across 28 on the west side from our house were friends of my parents who were the parents of the actor J.D.Cannon of the1970's TV series McCloud. The house we lived in was own by the ranch we worked on belonged to Emmett Reece and Eleanor Herndon Steele Reece. They memorialized through the Reece Foundation. He was a packed from Kentucky and she was a railroad heiress who was also a very famous singer in the1930's. She also worked as a nurse for Albert Schweitzer in Africa. Salmon and the surrounding region Montana Idaho has a great history with lots of famous people in history. I agree that Papa It's in Dillon has great Burgers.
That is VERY neat! Your house is still there. A friend lived there awhile. His name was Jim Reifenberger. He was a neat guy, had a draft mule team he called "The Donks" (Donkey, but they were Mules). He drove them there in a wagon from the other side of town towards Tower Rock. I asked him how long it took......he said "About a 12 pack"! HA! I think he died in that house. I knew the other one was once a store, but I don't know when it closed? When we lived there in the 1990's, it wasn't open and the Hawley's lived there. I think they still own it?
@@MuskratOutdoorsI don't remember the name of the folks who lived there back then. I remember one of their Grandkids was at my 6th birthday party in '61. My parents friends with many people in the area including the Mahaffy's (don't remember how it's spelled) who owned Fort Lemhi and the surrounding ranch.
No snow in Montana??? We got snow (more) yesterday and last nite. We now have about 9 inches, 1 degree F here this morning. Cutbank was -8F and Minot was -18 early am. Big problems in Kansas I guess. All we need here now is 30 + mph winds, so we can have a nice ground blizzard.....
It was like Spring time over there. Yuck! Sounds like to got hit a lot harder. It's been really mild here, 32F right now, but it is snowing light. I could do without the wind and blizzards!
I had a saddle shop back in the mid 1990's. It was a small time, custom and repair shop. You don't see many anymore. Which reminds me, I need to get that knife back to you!
Was hoping you would lay out the packages of meat so we could see how much pork you get from one pig & the different cuts. Did you get any bacon & if so how many pounds?
Dang.....I should have. Didn't think about that. It was a big pig, 248 pounds of cut and wrapped meat. I was surprised how many boxes they brought out. It worked out to be about $2.60 per pound total
Haha - I liked the kid joke....my kind of humor. I'm not so sure about all those jalapenos on that burger???? A few maybe, but that was a bit too many for my sissy taster. haha
Hegadorn auctions are a Joke! They have Reserve Prices they won't tell you about until after the bidding doesn't meet an unannounced bid price. So the item is simply for sale but the bidders don't know that. I Haven't been to a Hagadorn auction in many years because of that. My opinion.
Beautiful scenery , thanks for sharing !!!!! 🙏👍😊❤️
Thanks! I hope you enjoyed it. We needed to go anyway and it's fun to see the country.
It may have been Dell, twenty five years ago, me and my youngest boy who was still just a pup, was headed up to Great Falls to visit friends and snoop round one of the Montana Arms Collectors gun shows, but there was a bit of a run down, one pump gas station with a sign that simple said "GUNS". Stopped, and danged if he didnt have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy 38-55! I had the matchin rifle in 45-70, and always had a spot for the 38-55, as I used Dad's old Marlin so chambered to take my first spike bull when I was twelve with my Dad in 1966. Well, I bought it on the spot! Was a shooter, too, soon as I figured out that she didnt like the "short" cases, and preferred 375" diameter slugs. Never did put the sights on any game with it, though, always had something else in my hands. Lots of interesting gold field/ranching/real life robbery, murder, hangin's not to mention the buffler jumps and Native history goin' back to ancient times in that area.
That stretch of I-15, at night, in a blizzard, or fog so dense ya cant see the end of yer hood, is the longest 90 miles tween the border and Butte that I ever drove, some nights. Watchin the clock, needin to check in by 0400, and midnight is just rollin' up, back in the day before the interstate was finished, and between Butte and Boulder, through the mountains was old, two lane with whit crosses scattered the entire stretch at every corner and curve. 0100 on the watch at Boulder, and still got the grade to get to Helena. Shoulda gone the old way up through Three Forks, but that choice went away waay back. Another big hill north of Helena, and its 0230, then ya drop into the canyon and follow the Missouri on a white knuckle drive till ya finally break out on the flats at Ulm, the Bronco smells the barn. Through the gate, past the SP's at 0345, just enough time to wash my face, shave, shove by shakin' legs into a set of fatigues and make it to formation......
Have a great one! Thanks for takin' us on the ride!
You sure have a knack for telling your experiences Darrell.
Ha! Sounds like a long night, but fun! 38-55 is a great cartridge. Cindy's half scale Sharps rifle is chambered for it. I would like to find a lever gun in it someday.
@@MuskratOutdoors The Henry is chambered for it, brass and steel frame, side loading. Winchester/Miroku/FN still chamber the 1894 for it.

You mentioned Gracy's in your post. That really rang some bells for me. I used to go to her store many times in '78-'79. I bought a plastic stock 12 ga Winchester from her which I gave to one of my sons. He still has it. Thanks for your channel.. I have my farm up for sale here in Utah, and am planning to buy a small ranch in Idaho. I will stop by someday...
Gracy's was great! About anything ya wanted if you could find it under the other stuff! Please do. We are easy to find here at the fairgrounds.
Those Burgers from Papa T's look Great! They made me hungary! I'll have to stop there sometime! Thanks, Gary & Cindy!
They were good! That place has good food!
💖🙂👍@@MuskratOutdoors
Nice country, best part is you know where your food came from. Have a great day to you and Cindy.
Exactly! Have a great day too!
Good Morning 🌄
GOOD MORNING!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, that was a nice trip and enjoyed the scenery!
Thanks! It's a pretty drive this time of the year.
Dang I want to move to Dell
Neat little town! Too close to the Freeway though.
LOL !!! Dang, you already live in paradise. 😂
Just think how expensive it would be to change that sign: Population 37. 🤣 🤪
I remember the people of Dell and the surrounding area being good, friendly, and hardworking. Very approachable and willing to carry on a conversation with someone they didn't know just as much as someone they knew. Hopefully it's still that way.
That’s big country, how far was it from your place Gary to Dell ?
There is or was a really good Mexican food truck/van in Dillon that the last time I ate there was 4 or 5 years ago. Really good and authentic. Thanks for sharing.
The Taco Bus, ate there whenever I could. Breakfast good too.
Some of those Mexican food trucks are really good. There's two here that do a lot of business.
I love to watch smart dogs when you're traveling.. They watch what is up ahead, as if remembering where they're going. (to a certain extent, I believe they DO!) Thanks for taking us along with you. 🤠👍

What a great road trip! I appreciate you taking the time to video all those places that I have never been to and probably won't get to. America was built on small towns and communities. I grew up in the little community of Brazil, TN. We would always remark, "Brazil, TN, two stores and a cotton gin."Have a blessed day, my friends. PB
Good morning Gary
Thanks for the road trip. I really enjoyed it. Looks like you folks enjoyed it as well, including the dogs. Dell seems like my kind of town. My wife wouldn't agree though.
Good Morning! It was enjoyable! Yeah, I could live there!
Great trip Gary & Cindy! Thanks so much for taking us along. I was a bit behind on your videos,we had no internet over the weekend, they repaired it today. So I believe this one catches me up.😊👍
Great! Thank you very much!
There's a little more going on at Dell than when i had lived there. Man! That was back before the interstate was completed from the reservoir to Dillon.
It's nice to see it again.
Thanks.

It sure is beautiful out there.
Thanks! It really is.
Morning 👋🏻 Shoot I’d move to Dell or Kidd. Thanks for the ride. Them was some nice looking burgers 🍔 🥰Have a Blessed day ❤🙏🏻❤️
Good Morning! It's a neat area. Not a lot of work there though.
Beautiful country that’s for certain. Looks like the portions and the food were good. Enjoy the day 👍👍
It is! Oh Man those hamburgers there are great!
Its almost always nice to get home ,thanks for all the beautiful sites.💯👍🇺🇸🙏
It is. "There's no place like home"!
Thank you for the tour of the area. We used to have an old hardware store that had parts and items from over the last 75 years on high shelves. I loved going in there just for the smell and to look at the inventory. Burned down a few years back. I sure miss it.
Dang...too bad. I love places like that too. You don't find as many of those old shops like that as you used to.
Good morning! Thanks for the ride! Good roads and no traffic! Loving it! If I were a few years younger, I would pack up the cats and move to Dell!
Good Morning! It is a neat area.
Good afternoon, I always loved Montana. Pretty cool how they had no speed limit as well as free running cows. Thanks for the journey. Have a great evening
It is a great place.
Great road trip Gary and Cindy my like 👍 off town 35 for property owner . 😊
Thanks!

Good Morning! I know! It was like Spring over there!
Good morning from Okla, USA! Thanks for the beautiful outing! You folks take care and be safe out there!
Good Morning! You too.
@@MuskratOutdoors 😊👍
Holy cow! That hamburger would last a guy all day. Bit of a long commute for me for lunch 😊 Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
They make great hamburgers! When we go there, that's usually where we eat.
Love all the different things you folks do. You don’t let any grass grow under your feet. Lol
Thanks! Always busy!
Good morning yall. The best part about any trip is coming home.
Good Morning! It is!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing my friends! Cool road trip!
Thanks Mark!
Nice! Thanks for sharing guys.
Thanks!
Oh boy what a nice ride that was! Thanks for sharing from Germany❤
Good! I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!
The Stockyard Inn in Dell used to be a great place to eat and known for their homemade pie. Thanks for taking us on the road trip.
NEAT! It didn't look open? At least I didn't see any cars. Maybe next time we will try it.
Yeah it looked closed and deserted
Awesome road trip video. Even green bulls. Awesome food and great things on the auction paper your wife has an awesome hat that looks nice. Say hi from East Coast cabin fever guy thank you very much for the video Brother.
Thanks! Ha! She wasn't sure what to think about those green bulls! I sure will, and hello to you too!
Beautiful country drive!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
It really is! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the road trip.you aught to do more of them for us but I know gas isn't cheap. I just love Montana and Idaho. Used to go up there hunting every year.anyway double thumbs up on this one !
GREAT!! THANK YOU! I wish we could do it more really.
Good morning young man, Cindy and dogs.
Looked like a great trip.
Nice to get the hog and a great sandwich stop.
Glad you got home safe.
Have a great Sunday.
Thanks! Good Morning!
Thanks for taking us along on your road trip! Love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Had ya shot over to Twin Bridges then you'd of been in my old stompin grounds.
Tobacco Root Mountains area is well worth exploring sometime.
That's an interesting name for some mountains.
I like Twin Bridges. We used to go there for a gun show a lot.
Beautiful country! Been years since I’ve been out in that area. Thanks for the look around.
It really is.
You're a Poet, and didn't know it. Lol. Wow! That burger looked good. Thank for sharing and stay safe out there.
HA! Thanks! It was really good.
Good mornin and many blessings Gary & Cindy. Thank the Lord I watched part 2 !!! I thought I was hearing things yesterday? Today I realized the "Ringing bell" is from the pup's. LOL Guess this old man isn't that senile after all. Enjoyed your road trip very much. Thanks for sharing it.
Ha! Nope, not crazy yet!
@@MuskratOutdoors LOL😅
Wow what a nice road trip video you guys!
Having never been to Montana myself I very much enjoyed the drive over there.
I like those little towns.
I could probably get by okay in a place like Dillon.
Find some work, make some new friends and be happy 😊.
Dillon is too big for us, but there's work there. It's a really nice area. I guess you should take a road trip and go see Montana!
Sure loved the road trip . Thank you !
Great! Thank you!
Good morning!might have to take some meat over there just for the drive.our local butcher is very expensive and their skins are like chewing leather.i dont think they use real pig or sheep casings anymore.thanks again and enjoy your pig.im sure its gonna be deliscious.have a great day.
Burgs look amazing!👍
Burgs look amazing👍
We haven't tried this butcher before. I like "Pete's Meat" here in Salmon, but we have been told he does a good job. I don't think Cindy had any links made? I'm not really sure why? Those little piggy sausages are great!
They were!
? Is the no snow at Dell normal for the location this time of year?
I don't think so? It seems there should be a lot more snow! Mighty bare.....
Gary spring road trip the second part for the time of year . Tks for beautiful scenery road trip from O’Regan’s Newfoundland 😊. When gas price drop from $9 per gallon . 😮
HA! Maybe so!
Been by there many times on the Interstate, while traveling back to Minnesota.
Neat country, ain't it?
Good morning friend hope you and miss Cindy have a great day that pig meat is good eating
Good Morning! We had some pork chops and side pork, so far, it's really good!
Awesome views appreciate the ride.
Thanks!
Enjoyed the road trip! Hamburger looked really good too! So do you buy a whole pig that has been processed or just whatever cuts of meat you want? Always good to get back home! Have a Blessed Day Friends! Justin
Nice thing about this time of year is you can just throw frozen stuff in the back of the truck and it will stay frozen!🥶
It is! We left it in the back over night when we got home too. It was still froze hard.
It's too bad you missed that auction, it looked like they had a lot of neat stuff !
It sure did! That looked like a really good one!
Now that’s living high on the hog!🐖😂
HA! TRUE!
Mornin yall enjoyed the ride have a good day👍👍
Good Morning! You too!

Heard about it from the traveling salesman. That meat shop looked fairly new.
I wondered if it was still actually used as a school house? It would be a neat restraunt.
Thanks for the ride. I'll bet it's been thirty years sense I was in Dillon.
That's awhile! I think it's been 4-5 since we were there last?
Nice ride again. Hopefully that green beef you folks ate in Dillon stays down😂?? Have a great day you two.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪
Thanks! Those green cows were freaking her out! HA!
That’s down where my wife and I got our third Boxer dog Justy.

Nice views muskrat, Thanks!
Thanks!
Starkey's Garage in Dillon, great food.
I don't think we have tried that one.
Awesome trip.
Thanks Pete!
Ding ding ding ding, the bell is back. Lol....aaaarrggghhh! Idk how that thing hasn't been yanked down chucked out the winda. Lol
HA!
Dell 🤔 Looks like my kind of place. Nice road trip. We'z a checking lake ice here today. Goin with some gear
It's a neat little town. I would like to go ice fishing. It's been years since I have.
@MuskratOutdoors yea I did some counting to day last time I was on ice 2005, or 06. One lake we looked
@ was sketchy, the other had about 4"
No snow in Montana??? We got snow (more) yesterday and last nite. We now have about 9 inches, 1 degree F here this morning. Cutbank was -8F and Minot was -18 early am. Big problems in Kansas I guess. All we need here now is 30 + mph winds, so we can have a nice ground blizzard.....
It was like Spring time over there. Yuck! Sounds like to got hit a lot harder. It's been really mild here, 32F right now, but it is snowing light. I could do without the wind and blizzards!
Good morning from The Western Mountains of Maine
GOOD MORNING!!!
Fresh side pork with fried potatoes and a couple of over easy eggs dang good.
It sure is! We like side pork better than bacon.
nice 1 my OULD FLOWER
I looked up Gracie’s in Dillon. Google says it’s still there and very much in business .
Mornin' !
Reminds me of 1 of the reasons I quit trucking. At 1st I wanted to see the country, then I realized the country was too big. lol
I miss the boot and saddle stores in Iowa. There's still a few near me. My brother has 2 horses.
Good Morning!
HAHA! That Sounds About Right!
I had a saddle shop back in the mid 1990's. It was a small time, custom and repair shop. You don't see many anymore. Which reminds me, I need to get that knife back to you!
I love the area
Me too!
Also been to Papa T's
They have great hamburgers!

Dang.....I should have. Didn't think about that. It was a big pig, 248 pounds of cut and wrapped meat. I was surprised how many boxes they brought out. It worked out to be about $2.60 per pound total
Haha - I liked the kid joke....my kind of humor. I'm not so sure about all those jalapenos on that burger???? A few maybe, but that was a bit too many for my sissy taster. haha
Ha! We didn't see a single kid! I love jalapenos! A hamburger has to have 'em!
How many pounds of meat did you get out of that pig?
248! I don't know what the live weight was. When we raised pigs, we never lit them get more than 250 pounds or so live weight.
Good Morning

Hegadorn auctions are a Joke!
They have Reserve Prices they won't tell you about until after the bidding doesn't meet an unannounced bid price.
So the item is simply for sale but the bidders don't know that.
I Haven't been to a Hagadorn auction in many years because of that. My opinion.
Oh really? That's not good. The auction house here allows call in bids or a bid left if you don't want to come to the auction, but no reserve prices.
