While exploring Montana farm country I came upon the town of Judith Gap. A police car was blocking the road. The officer told me a parade was about to start celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the town school. So I had to get a few snapshots… Update – I seem to be getting some visitors from Judith Gap – Welcome! – so I added a few more pictures.

I so want the blue chevy truck!
It doesn’t even look like you’re in a town. It looks like you stumbled upon a parade in the middle of the county.
The school was behind me, and there are a few buildings down the street. Problem was that the parade was started and finished before I could get a second angle on it.
I went to school there!!! And I was at the reunion!!
That’s great! It was a fun parade, I will have to visit the town again.
I taught school at the Gap. My daughter works at the wind farm. I loved your photos, esp. with the Snowy Mts. in the background. Thanks!
Thanks – I added a few more pictures to the end of the post.
Thanks for sharing!!! I posted them on facebook too! Such a small world! Yes, the Snowy’s are so beautiful!!
I went to J.G. but I haven’t been back in so long. The pictures brought images to my mind and feelings to my sould I had long forgotten so pardon while I wax. The garage I waited outside while Dad got his pickup back…again. The road leading out to the ranch which was also the road that terrible bus wreck was on. The other roads to the mill where I worked passing once as I passed through, the merchantile that sold comic books for a nickel because they were missing the cover when I was a kid, and finally the school behind you where we learned to open our jackets and sail the ice covered sidewalks on our cowboy boots. Thanks Mike. Well done.
Really should have proof read this but you get the idea. Thanks again.
I went to JG in the 70’s. I so wanted to go to the reunion but now live in FL and just couldn’t get away. The station was the Songer’s Exxon Station. The house that is behind you next to the school is the house we lived in. I really loved living in this town. These pictures really bring back great memories.
