We arrived in Laurel, MT at 9 AM for our 11th and last hitch of the year. That's when we met Don, our project partner from the Bureau of Land Management. Don has the type of mustache that looks like he belongs on the set of American Chopper, and a smile that makes you feel like you're important. At 85 years old, he's approaching his 25th year working with BLM and each year has added to his library of wisdom. We spent the week exploring the BLM district with Don on his side by side, building jack fencing to stop people from driving off-road.
