Montana's a Big State

Our Sunday was all about driving across Montana. My word, it is a big state! Took us most of the day.

When we got near Bozeman it occurred to me how close we were to some family we rarely see. I decided to call Mom and get a phone number to try and connect with them, but we had no cell service. So much for that.

We stopped in Butte for lunch, and then in Missoula to look for a scissor lift for the company. We were tempted at this point to stay there at a nice "resort", but ultimately decided to continue on.

Gary needed a break so I got to drive for the first time this trip. Taryn sat up front with me and Gary was able to get some rest.

Around 7:30 we got to the Coeur d'Alene area and took Taryn to the Wolf Lodge for dinner - a very unique place we discovered last fall when we were here with Ross and Taya.

After a delicious steak dinner we found our "resort". Get this, it had been a KOA but isn't any more. They just rearranged the letters and now call it the A OK. Sillyness!

Their store was closed but we managed to get the guy to sell us some firewood - at $7 a bundle, thank-you very much! All this so we could make s'mores for a treat on our last camping nite.

Taryn cut down and sharpened sticks for us and we had our last hurrah over our little fire. So fun.

There is a great crisis on 24 that we are in the middle of so had to watch another episode of that before bed. Sure glad Jack Bauer is handling it.
