Day 27 –  Missoula, MT.

A very brief blog entry tonight, as today was a travel day.  We awoke immersed in the clouds this morning, and the clouds were wet!  A brief walk, and we made ready to get underway down I-90 toward Montana.  We hauled out about eleven, and headed up the road to Lookout Pass, the Idaho/Montana border.  Rain, trucks, steep grades and curvy roads made the trip more exciting that usual, and Don was on his best behavior, keeping it nice and slow.  We could only imagine the magnificence of the scenery that we were passing through, as we couldn’t see it. 

We pulled into our RV Park, located several miles west of Missoula, a little after one, and we were fifth in line for check-in; a popular place!  The Park is very nice, with lots of lovely landscaping and trees, and very large sites with beautiful grass.  We were warned at check in that we might have to move around a little in order to get satellite reception.  After forty-five minutes of trying to lock on to a satellite, Don asked Geri how the cable menu looked.  It looked OK, thank goodness. 

We loaded into the truck after we got set up, and took a ride into Missoula.  It’s an attractive little city, about the size of Ventura, with a downtown area that boasts some interesting historic buildings.  It also seems to have it’s share of characters, including a young man that we saw crossing the street in front of us with a little Chihuahua on his shoulder, wearing a Mexican sombrero.  Not him, the Chihuahua! 

For some reason, I think having to do with the coach, Geri and Don have a lawyer in Missoula, and were interested in finding his office.  They eventually did find it, and were pleased to see that it was anything but ornate, a small home converted to offices.  They took a picture of it, maybe Don will post it.  We stopped at a Safeway, where they did some shopping, and we returned to the rig, where Don did some lamb chops and TJ’s rice medley, which I love.  We should have a good day of exploration tomorrow, which I will duly report on.  Good dreams to all of you!

Hey, wait!  That's me, relaxing!
