Day 14




Captain’s Log, Stardate 14

Finally, live E mail capability.

We were getting serious withdrawal symptoms, we nearly had to start a conversation between us!!

Today was one of those days when everything goes right.

We are finally realizing that we don’t have to watch a clock, and we don’t have a schedule to keep.

We left the overnight rest stop and drove just 20 miles, stopped for gas, and sat in the parking lot, piddling with phone and internet services, or lack of, for 2 ½ hours.

The people up here are really friendly, the store lady at Subway gave us wonderful info about phone service etc, was really helpful.

We then rumbled on for another 30 miles and went into the town of Shelby, Montana, and signed up with Verizon, both cell phone and internet, and as you probably know, our new number is 406 (censored).








We then had a choice of 4 different RV sites to spend the next few days, and purely by luck, the best one was Sleeping Wolf campsite.

Reminds me of the Mol back in England, where I’ve seen my share of sleeping wolves!!

Anyway, this campground is small, only 10 RV sites, and totally empty except for us and a couple of birds.

We turned the coach round so we now face west looking at the Rockies, with a wonderful sunset tonight, which changed colors a dozen times in about an hour.

Wildlife watch today was sparse, we didn’t travel far, but we saw some deer, pronghorn antelope, gophers, and some noisy birds.
