3-7-77 Instilled Fear in Lawless Montanans Look closely and you’ll see the numbers 3-7-77 in some interesting places: on the shoulder patches of Montana Highway Patrol officers, on the jumpsuits of Montana Air National Guard pilots, and, most revealing, above the front entrance to the historic Robber’s Roost roadhouse outside Laurin. The origin of these numbers has always been a mystery, but in the late 1870s and early 1880s everyone in Montana’s gold country knew what they represented: vigilante justice.

Inverness: The Inverness Bar & Supper Club ($$, 406-292-3801, L/D) is not much to look at from the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Bank on reasonably priced steaks, supreme walleye, steamed cod with drawn butter, and a good stiff drink from the bar. Dining room opens at 5 pm; if you’re there for lunch it’s soup and sandwiches from the bar side (see Best Bars). Chester: The Grand Bar & Grill ($/$$, 406-759-5582, D) was once called the Chic N Coop because of its great broasted chicken, which is still their top seller. If you’re not
