Travel Day

I was awakened this morning to my husband inviting me to a breakfast date at the local 'greasy spoon' (as he calls them) in Hungry Horse, Montana where we were staying (isn't that a great name for a town?).  :-)  I had the huckleberry pancakes and my, was it delicious!  That was so nice to get that time in with just the two of us!  We came back to the camper, where I got a shower as Tim got things ready to go on the outside.  I curled Nicole's hair, and I just remembered I wanted a picture of her with it curled.  But she insisted I be in the picture with her, so she took one of both of us - so just pretend I'm not there.  :-)  ANYWAY, we spent some time cleaning the inside of the camper while Tim was doing stuff to the outside, and we got out of there at, you guessed it, the crack of noon!  Actually, I think it was more like 1pm.  We drove over to Columbia Falls (near Kallispell) because the people we are renting this RV from paid for a new spare tire so we needed to pick it up.  We spent about another hour there while Tim worked on a valve stem on one of the tires, and then discovered our pin that keeps the tow dolly ramps in place was gone (evidently, someone forgot to put it in place before we left and so it was dragging on the ground by a thin wire that evidently snapped), so Tim had to track down another one of those a few miles away.  All of this delay was no problem since we weren't traveling too far today, and are staying at a Wally World tonight anyway, and it gave us time to make and eat lunch!
Finally, we were on our way, and the drive was through, once again, absolutely beautiful countryside.  We even saw some more snow capped mountains that I snapped a picture of.  We also saw a wolf (or was it a cayote?  I don't remember what the consensus was and everyone is asleep!).  Either way, it was very cool to see him running, moving much faster than that buffalo we saw last night, so we couldn't get a picture of him.  Bummer.  We got gas for $3.39/gal (which is way better than the $3.99 we paid in California!), so we were glad for that.  Dinner was ravioli for the kids and salmon for Tim and me, and then Nicole had a great idea of watermelon.  She and Nathan walked in to the Walmart and got it for us, and I cut it up.  We were eating it outside when one of our neighbors (there are several RVs here tonight) came out of his camper, so we offered him some since leftover watermelon would be pretty hard to store in our small refrigerator!  He went and got his wife, and we had a really nice conversation right here in the Walmart parking lot, eating watermelon.  That was fun!  But now it is bedtime, so I'm going to post some pictures here and then hit the hay myself.  We will be staying inside Yellowstone starting tomorrow until Monday, and so far our experience with all the national parks is that there is pretty much no cell phone or internet reception anywhere in the parks, so don't be surprised if you don't see any updates here until Monday night or Tuesday morning!
