Dirty Annie’s – She Maybe Dirty But She Isn’t Cheap

As you are driving across the country there are times when you simply have to stop. Normally, those stops are a result of some one needing to use the bathroom. Yes, there is a bathroom on the R.V. and it is fine for the… how do I say it inoffensively… the more frequent call of nature. But for the less frequent call of nature, the R.V. is strictly off limits. If you need to ask why, you probably haven’t been in an R.V. for two weeks straight with five people and you are probably not the one who empties the sewage tanks.

So with the potty talk out of the way, let’s just say that the drive from Sheridan, Wyoming to Yellowstone is a petty long and extremely desolate drive, so when Dirty Annie’s showed up on the horizon, it was a relief (pun intended).

Dirty Annie’s had something for everyone. Western clothing, groceries, gasoline, and fortunately, despite her name… clean restrooms. She also had a nice little restaurant which had of all things CHOCOLATE MILK SHAKES. That was all that Mikey, John, and I needed to see.

So we bellied up to the bar… well it was actually a counter, but bar sounds so much more western and ordered ourselves up three tall ones. Boy they were good… but they weren’t cheap… $4.00 per milkshake was a little steep, but hey when you are the only game in town. Actually, when you are the town, you can charge what you want.

Believe it or not I have been to Dirty Annies about 3 times! I had a friend who was working on a ranch about 100 yards or less down the road from Dirty Annie's and I got to visit a few years ago for a week so we would go there almost every day for breakfast. He would ride his horse there sometimes to pick up supplies for a days ride. It was the hangout spot so to speak for locals. There was only one other place to eat within an hour (you would have to go to Cody or Billings, MT which is 2 hours) and not many other places for locals to get together to talk.

Enjoying your blog!
