Moving Along...

Yesterday, we  traveled

on to Rapid City, SD.  We stayed at another

DSC_0316

favorite campground!  Thanks Cabela's for letting us park and shop with you!

While in the big town of Rapid City, we took care of some necessary business like banking, a last minute stop at the post office, and a trip to an RV supply store.

Last night we were off to Hill City.  We made a stop at

Prairie Berry Winery, home of

their famous wines, jams and jellies.

Then, we were off to town to

DSC_0328

meet up with the others for a little

window shopping before going to dinner

at the famous Alpine Inn.

We patiently

DSC_0334

waited for 5:00 when the dining room opened.

The menu here is very simple...you get

DSC_0337

a lettuce wedge salad with house made ranch dressing and your

DSC_0338

choice of a 6 or 9 ounce bacon wrapped filet, served with a baked potato!

And, the price is right...$9.95 and $11.95.  Of course, if you save room for it,  there is a fabulous array of desserts to choose from.  I chose bread pudding with caramel sauce...but, I ate it before I took a picture...but, trust me is tasted as good as it looked!!

Full as ticks, we drove back to the Cabela's campground.  The only way to work off that delicious meal was to take a trip through the store for a little last minute shopping before heading to bed!

This morning came early and we were out and on the road heading for Reed Point, MT.  We decided

on the scenic route again today.  What a beautiful travel day it turned out to be.  We saw

DSC_0348

some of the

DSC_0363

locals that live in the area.

We made a

DSC_0372

potty stop or two for Molly.  We told her...no more iced tea for breakfast!

And, we even found a great

DSC_0399

spot to have a

DSC_0397

picnic lunch!

Along with the

DSC_0428

first signs of

DSC_0356

Spring, we saw what remains of

DSC_0412

winter in Montana.

Late this afternoon, we landed at the Old West RV Park in

DSC_0418

Reed Point, MT.

We all walked down the middle

DSC_0419

of main street to have dinner at the

DSC_0425

local and might I add...the only restaurant in town.

We only have a few days left before we cross into Canada, so after dinner some of

DSC_0429

us decided to make a plan, while

DSC_0430

others just go where they are told to go!

It is hard to believe after planning this trip for almost 2 years, it is now actually underway.  The excitement of what is ahead is growing day by day.

Tomorrow we will be one day closer to crossing into Canada.  We hope you drop in to see how our last minute plans unfold!

  3. Good to see a copy of the old Milepost on the table, that book is invaluable for planning an Alaskan adventure.
