Billings to Missoula

This is why we Like this area
Gas prices dropping as we move west. Must be under $3.00 in Seattle (Ha Ha)

Catchy name and very nice park


Left Billings at 10:00 a.m. to head to Missoula. Went across Bozeman pass at noon with no sight of ice. In fact , there was very little snow there, and temperatures were in the 40's.
Stopped for lunch at the Wheat Montana outlet just east of Homestake pass. Interesting place with decent food. From there we set out to cross Homestake pass. Again the temperatures were in the upper 40's with no snow or ice in site.
Arrived in the campground in Missoula at 5:00 p.m. Very nice place except for the rifle range across the interstate. We get to hear every shot twice, as they echo off of the mountains.
Could have used one of those rifles when we were in South Dakota on those turkeys!!
We will now head into central Washington which will allow us to get to Stanwood tomorrow early in the afternoon, so we avoid the traffic going through Bellevue, Everett, etc. (we hope)
It's not looking like a Dodgers/Red Sox World series. Hang in there Ron, The NBA season starts soon. Better get a hat for Diane Too for that bunch!!
My next update will be coming to you from my home soil......................Ernie
P.S. It took about an hour to download 3 pictures. Very bad connection here. Wiil ad more later
