Awake: 6:12am Temp 55 sleep 6+50 some clouds overnight @
Reed Point, MT. & elevation 3850.
We take our time leaving this morning. We watch the weather channel, ABC
news, MSN news, etc. Today’s destination is only an hr away & some
campgrounds have an arrival time of 1:00 or 2:00pm.
While storing the portable water filters, Jenetta comes over & chats for
awhile. Nice lady.
We leave the Old West RV Park @ Reed Point @ 10:48am. On I-90 again, our
cell phone coverage is active so Kathy calls ahead & checks for
availability in Billings, MT. Connie say’s: “come on in! It’s no problem
with the early arrival.” So we arrive @ the Trailer Village RV Park @
Billings @ 11:51pm. Today’s travel: 1+03 time 56 miles 6.1 gal used
9.1 mpg 54.6 avg speed.
We waste no time in checking out the downtown by doing a driving grid
pattern of the streets. It’s a clean city but Kathy isn’t impressed with
the lack of shopping stores on Broadwater (the main downtown street).
Before returning to the bus, we stop @ “the Good Earth Market” for organic
milk.
A few hrs later, we attend 6:00pm Mass @ Saint Patrick’s Co Cathedral.
7:30 dinner: Stuffed peppers, spinach salad & bread.
