In Plains, Montana: pig food at the market, an old RV and Amish people

I passed through Plains, Montana the other day. 

There isn't much to Plains which is along Montana route 200. Its population was 1,048 in 2010. It was originally founded as Horse Plains and sometimes called Wild Horse Plains, as the local Indians would winter their horses there to feed on the grasses.

So that's the history. I drove around a bit to see what I could find of interest. Here are three things:

You seldom see "Pig Food" advertised at your local supermarket, but in Plains it is. I did not stop because I do not have a pig to feed. I have never owned a pig. I have never seen people and pig food sold in the same market. So this was definitely worth a picture.

This old GMC motorhome I spotted on a side street has seen its day. I don't know anything about it except it's old and is not going anywhere, at least on its own. If you know anything about this RV, please leave a comment. My guess is that it was from the late '60s before the sleek GMC motorhomes were introduced, many of which are still on the road.

 

I didn't know there were Amish in this area. But I guess there are based on this sign on a county road leading out of Plains.
