Montana

 We left Arco, and had a beautiful drive through Idaho over to I-15 to Dillon, MT.  We stayed at Countryside RV park (great views, just south of town, we'd stay there again).  Mike golfed at the local golf course - really beautiful.  We had dinner out at a very popular bar and grill, and had some great wine.  This bottle will be a lamp!


After Dillon, we headed to a Harvest Host just south of Helena.  Spring Wheat Acres - so beautiful and Louise was so welcoming!  Great jams and apple pies.  And the drive up I-15 was gorgeous!

The old crank tractor!

We couldn't get into an RV park in Helena until Sunday, so we dry-camped at Bill and Jan's for two nights.  They have such a beautiful place, and we helped them a little to get stuff moved in.  Jan fixed us some great meals, and we had a really good visit. It was so nice to just hang out for a few days.

They are so happy!!

Today we drove to Livingston for one night, then will be in Sheridan for 2 nights, and then Hart Ranch on Saturday!

Utah/Idaho

What a whirlwind few weeks!!

We left Pahrump and headed north, landing in Delta, UT for a couple of nights.  We took an off-road day trip in the Jeep and saw some spectacular scenery.


We stopped in Wendover, UT so that Mike could ride the Flying Mile on the Bonneville Salt Flats. (He did it once before on the 650, but I can't find those pictures).



 

A couple of nights in Twin Falls so that he could golf on the Canyon Springs golf course on the Snake River.  I walked with him, great day!



Then, a long awaited week in Boise to spend time with Joan and Chuck Wood and Char Carpenter.  This is what we were supposed to do in 2020....stupid Covid!  We had a great time!! Joan had us over for dinner a couple of times, and we got to see her sister Jan.  Chuck and Mike golfed several times, and we took a day trip to the Snake River Raptor Conservation Area.





We left Boise, and spent a night at a Harvest Host in Mountain Home.  Mike got to golf on the beautiful course (a city course no less!) and we had supper in their restaurant.  Great day!



We spent a few days in Arco, ID.  We went to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and took a beautiful drive up US93 to Salmon, ID.  It was a long drive, so we didn't stop at the Sacajawea Cultural center.  Next time.  On the way home we followed the Lewis and Clark trail for a bit - over the mountains it went from 79 to 39 and was sleeting!  Quite a drive!
