Awake: 6:24am Temp 42 sleep 5+40 partly sunny overnight @ Littleton, CO.
We leave the Chatfield RV Park in Littleton @ 7:40am. Following US-83 to I-25 to I-90 to Billings, Montana; 98% smooth roads enhanced the (400 miles) of scenic views, but the next (191 miles) of strong cross-winds & headwinds with constant rain put a damper on that pleasure. (1) comfort stop along the way. Just before darkness set in, we pull into the Wal-Mart parking lot @ Billings @ 7:40pm for the night. Many RV’s have already parked in the east section & quite a few more continued to arrive throughout the evening. We keep our slides retracted for the night.
Today’s travel: 591 miles 10+00 hrs 102 gal used 5.8 mpg 58.5 avg speed.
Dinner: Tilapia fish, leftover brown rice, leftover eggplant from our family meal @ Buca di Beppo in Denver & a spinach salad.
Late DVR movie: “Mildred Pierce” with Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Ann Blyth, etc. Crawford won an Oscar as housewife-turned-waitress who finds success in business but loses control of ungrateful daughter Blyth….especially when she finds they’re competing for the love of the same man. 1945. Not a happy story but most interesting to view; plus it could be of help when raising those young children.
