Awake 12:30 am...6:10 am & 7:20 am. Heavy rain, thunderstorms & wind woke
me up throughout the night. @ 6:10, I made my coffee, put it in the
freezer , then went back to bed.
Temp outside=64 Light rain
Forgot to mention: Yesterday we covered 325 miles to Missoula.
After coffee, I get out our telescoping ladder, clean off the debris from
our extended slides, some standing water, then Kathy retracts the slides
in the event of more rain & tree debris during our breakfast.
That heavy rain that pounded us last night headed Eastward...and guess
what...that's the direction we are heading today. I figure we'll catch up
with that rain in a few hrs.
We leave Jim & Mary's RV park in Missoula @ 9:55 am. Sure enough, 2.5 hrs
later, we are driving in that rain minus the thunderstorm. Probably for
the next 3 + hrs we went with the flow of rain. We drive straight thru to
Billings, MT with no stops & no toilet break for me. 352 miles & 6+15. The
roads were good, smooth & very scenic in spite of the lower visibility due
to rain.
Arrive @ the 1st KOA of America @ 4:20 pm. Amazing to us is this place was
built in the early 70's & it is BIG RIG friendly. How nice.
After parking, Kathy & I again walk the campground for exercise.
We have cable TV hookup here so we watch: " Brother Orchid " with Edward
G. Robinson. A good old flick for seniors.
7:30 Dinner: Rotini Tonnati(Pasta, tomato, onions, garlic, spices,
peppers, green olives & 2 cans of tuna). It was excellent.
After Dinner, we watch another Movie: " The Cincinnati Kid." Also with
Edward G. Robinson. Another good flick for seniors to watch.
Late evening I take my Dell computer up to the office for hopefully a
modem connection...and I find out they have WI FI. So I sit outside on a
bench & get a few minutes of e-mail opportunity. Lights out: 11:13 pm
