After filling up with Flying J gas at the ND/MT border, we headed west across Montana. We had no plans at the time for how long we'd be on the road till we stopped in Glasgow, MT for supper. We called Melissa, our neighbors daughter who lives in Conrad, MT, and made plans to meet her Friday. Our goal then was to get to the Lewis & Clark RV park in Shelby to spend the night. Two hundred and ninety miles and four and a half ours later, we pulled into the campground. It was now 11:00 pm. I shut off the engine and went to bed very tired.
This morning, after a good nights sleep, we awoke to beautiful sunshine and about 45 degrees.....PERFECT! I noticed a motorhome in the campground we had seen in Theodore Roosevelt NP, and talked to the fella. They're from Arkansas and are fulltimers and on their way to Alaska for the first time also. Nice folks! So, we'll probably be seeing them from time to time.
Barb's taking the 'opportunity' do do the laundry and I spent some time getting the collection of bugs off the windshield and front of the motorhome. I didn't miss too many along the way.;) We'll be spending the night at Melissa's house and then on to Canada tomorrow. We have about 2,200 miles to Fairbanks, which is about how far we've travelled so far.
Don't know when I'll be able to update you again, but hope everyone's doing fine and keep the comments coming. We look forward to them.
Till next time, have fun and be safe.

Hi Again!
ReplyDeleteAs Bob was reviewing the blog today, he was concerned about whether you two managed to reduce the amount of alcohol on board to the legal limit to enter Canada? Or did you have to extend your stay in the US for some extra partying?!!!
We just had a severe thunderstorm here with marble- and quarter-size hail -- there was white everywhere which I had to capture on film!! And I think all the drains got clogged from all the debris because the roads were all severly flooded as we came back from Mandy's unplayed game. Sue said you only had rain up there - so no hail damage for you to worry about.
Happy travels and hope your weather is lovely!!
Love, The Boandl Bunch
HI again,
ReplyDeleteJust an update - we did see Carolina, she showed up for brunch. And, we saved another turtle on our way back from our tournament softball practice/picnic. Ana got out in the storm and safely carried him to the other side of the road. Are you in Canada yet? Send us more pictures!!!:)
Take care, love ya'
