Starting A New Adventure

Yesterday was our last day in Idaho Falls.  Ellie and I along with her sister Ann went to the local Weight Watchers meeting.  It was a noon meeting and as soon as we finished at the center, we were off to find lunch.  We chose a Chinese Restaurant.  What a good lunch selection.   Afterwards we went to Fred Meyers, a small version of Wal Mart to find a few Weight Watcher items.  Ellie and I then took Ann out to her son’s house and we then returned to the RV Park to start packing up the motor homes.

Late in the afternoon we all went over to Bill and Rhonda’s house for dinner.  Once again, Bill and Rick did a great job at the grill.  We had chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, and water melon.  We then sat around outside and visited until it was time to say goodnight and see you next time.

Again, thanks Jim and Ellie for including us in your family get together’s this week.  It was nice to meet just a great family.  Thanks Bill and Rhonda for being such gracious hosts!  See you next time we are in Idaho Falls.

We then returned to the RV Park to finish packing up the motor homes for departure this morning.  After a night’s rest, we were up and ready to head out early.  In fact, we left at

this morning.  Mark and I pulled out first to make a stop at

the auto glass repair shop just down the road.  Mark wanted to have the chip in the windshield checked to make sure the mobile repairman had repaired it correctly in Custer.  He assured us it was okay and should not give us any problem.  We then called Jim and Ellie back at the RV Park to tell them we were ready.

They came right on, and we were off out

the interstate towards Butte.  As we were leaving out the interstate, I saw this

barn.  They fascinate me with the roofs meeting the ground and the grass growing on top of them.  I guess they hold all the

hay and

potatoes they grow in Idaho!

It wasn’t  long until we were saying good-bye to Idaho and hello to

Montana.  As we traveled across I-90, I decided we must be climbing because soon I was

looking a the clouds and the mountain top at ground level. LOL

I also saw this

waterfall coming down the side of a mountain.  It was running into a small stream along beside the road.  Then I knew we were really in Montana because I saw

real cowboys herding cattle down the service road!

Soon it was time for lunch and we made a quick stop at a road side park and discussed just how far we wanted to travel today.  At first we were going to stop in Missoula, but decided that was too soon to call it a day.  After a little calculating, we would make it to Polson, Montana.  But, before we could get to Polson, we had to turn on

and then on

Once we made our way on to 93 we would be in Polson before long.  OH WAIT…no one told us to expect

or

and a road that looked like

this.  It was a little rough, but what a nice road it will be  someday!

We called ahead to a couple of RV Parks, but one only had one site and the other one wanted $30 to dry camp….so we just pulled into one of our favorite RV Parks

Once we were settled into the parking lot, we were off to find something to eat, stop in at Safeway and Wal Mart….so much for the free camp ground!

We do however have a nice view of the

Rocky Mountains.

See you tomorrow from Coram, Montana.
