As part of our journey west on US Highway 2, we passed through Malta, MT, which was the birth place and home through their growing up years of Jan's parent Harry and Nell Moser Whitcomb.
Road leading into Malta heading west on US 2
Of course, just driving thro you don't see much of the town, but did pass the old train station, which Jan remembers arriving and departing from several times in the 1950s. Since it has been 45-50 years since Jan has been back to this part of Montana not much looked familiar, but she does remember her Dad's stories about the "Kid" Curry Gang, who were part of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, and the big train robbery in the early 1900s near Malta. The "Wild Bunch" made the Little Rocky Mountains their headquarter just south of Malta. The Little Rocky Mountains also, happened to be the location of a gold mine worked by the Whitcomb Family.
