Day 74 (July 29) – Butte, MT


Lon came out to tell us goodbye and take a family photo of us.  A neighbor lady across the street came over to say goodbye and wish us well.  And our next-door neighbors wished us safe travels from their dining room window.  It felt a little like we were moving away from home. 

Then we had another long driving day all on I-90. Longer because of changing  time zones.  We stopped at a rest area for lunch.  That is always nicer than a gas station parking lot.  We drove across just a little bit of Idaho and then into Montana.  It was a beautiful drive.  We made it to Fairmont RV Park just outside of Butte, MT around 5:00.  This is a perfectly fine park.  It’s just not Wild Rose.  The showers were great.  Carmen loved her 10 minutes on the playground.  The girls and I enjoyed watching the women’s gymnastics qualifying competition.  So sad for sweet Jordyn.  Carmen was rooting for Gabby.  I’m not sure how much we’ll be able to see (if any) the rest of this week since we’ll be in Yellowstone.  Hmm…  It may also be a few days before I’m back to blogging.
