Day 7: Billings, Montana

We stopped over in Bozeman for a sandwich today and got some nice new camp chairs with Matt’s REI gift card (thanks Mom). I also got some new sunnies! 😎

The drive today felt pretty good: two hours in the morning, two hours after lunch (we’ve agreed to not exceed 350 miles a day with littles in tow). Though how many dang days does it take to get through Montana? My heavens.

Pulling into our campsite today was a delight – just the right amount of kitschy, a pool, laundry facilities, showers, wifi! – oh, and wagon wheels. It feels right.

  1. Classic RV resort. 5 minute hike to Yellowstone River with the boys to throw stones. Biking and long boarding in the park, night swimming after hours.

  2. Such a great adventure for the boys. Pretty quiet here. The afternoons have been a bit hot for the park and the grandson have been on their own adventures. We miss you guys, but you are seeing so much of our country!

    Big hugs all around .

  4. At 8.6 miles per gallon lugging a travel trailer up and down steep grades along I-90, I’m surprised this hasn’t happened previously. The new rig is a lot less liberal (kinda like the good folks of SD) with the low fuel indicator than my old Tahoe. Lessen learned I hope. 20 minutes is a gross miscalculation of elapsed time; we lost an good hour as I clock watched and watched traffic fly by at 90 mph but it beats walking two clicks in that heat to a gas station called Common Cents with a bone dry gas can in one hand and my pride on empty too. Oh, and the AAA “Gentleman” was a straight up old timer cowboy who arrived in a beat up red Chevy pick up truck and proceeded to use his hands as a funnel to get a few gallons in the tank after realizing my new truck had a tamperproof gas valve. He did follow us to the fill station to make sure we made it safely.
