"Backroads of Montana: Episode 1 - Virgelle to Victor" (1991)

The very first episode of "Backroads of Montana" hosted by Montana TV & Radio personality, William Marcus.
Episode One “Virgelle to Victor” (1991) - Backroads of Montana was first broadcast in 1991. There is still a ferry at Virgelle although Bob and Lorraine Otto won’t greet you when you ring the buzzer. Bob died a few years ago and Lorraine now lives in Big Sandy. Their niece runs the ferry. There is now a bridge at Loma, but you still have to take a ferry in Carter. The Virgelle Mercantile is still open - they’ve added a few more homesteader cabins and the luxury of a nice bathhouse. Don claims that it’s getting too busy in Virgelle and he’s thinking of moving to someplace a little quieter. That wouldn’t be the Bitterroot where the barnstormers are still buzzing the skies with their model planes.
Since 1991, the Backroads crew has traveled across Montana visiting its unique people and places. The series airs regularly on MontanaPBS.

Alack, the ferry at Loma is replaced by a bridge that had formerly been an overpass over the Great Northern track that had been abaondoned years earlier.

Absolutely love every episode of this show. Born and raised in Bozeman, MT and have to re watch over and over again.

Bozeman is not even part of Montana, its an exclave of California.
