Monday the 31st - Memorial Day
A dry sunny morning greeted us at 6:00 AM. Coaxing the kids back to bed for another half hour, I finally got up and took a shower, got dressed and took them out for their morning walk. It was probably about 34 degrees, but at least it wasn't raining.
Tina took her shower after breakfast, then did some cleaning in preparation for today's drive. At the same time, I was outside putting the racks on the car. Don joined me in time to help put the kayaks in their mounts and strap them down. Then I cleaned the sewer hose and put it away.
Disconnecting water, cable and power we got the slides in, retracted the jacks, started up and pulled out enough to connect the tow dolly. Once that was hooked up I pulled the rig into the street so we could get the car on the dolly. Once that was done we said our final good-byes to Don and Diane and wished them well on their trip home to La Puente.
With the sun on the mountains we headed out of town on US-20, then got on US-87 North until we connected with US-287 North. With one final stretch on MT-359 we reached Cardwell and got on I-90 West for the drive to Deer Lodge. We made one stop for fuel just past Butte and arrived at Indian Creek RV Campground around 3:00 PM where we had a reserved pull-through.
We got set up and took the kids for a walk then settled in for a relaxing afternoon, dinner and a little TV later. We had been fortunate to only have a few light sprinkles on our drive. Around 4:30 PM it started to rain and came down in buckets, not letting up until 6:00 PM, then it quit. I got the kids out again around 7:30 PM and by 8:00 PM it was coming down in buckets again. And again, and again.
Distance for this leg 191 miles. Total for the trip so far, 7,931 miles.
