Day 5 - Are we there yet?


No we aren't there yet but maybe tomorrow.  Because we didn't unhook the camper last night, we were able to get on the road by 7:00 a.m.   We had to turn on the electric blanket last night but we love sleeping when it is cooler.  It did warm up to nearly 80 today.  We drove 450 miles today  finally getting to a KOA in Bozeman, MT.  Whoever checked us in had an attitude problem so we will definitely be happy to get on the road tomorrow.  We didn't unhook today, so we should be able to be on the road as early as yesterday.

The landscape was varied but all pretty in its own way.  Northeastern Wyoming was rolling hills and some rock outcroppings.  As we got closer to Montana, we began to see mountains in a distance with snow on them.  We saw lots of pronghorn antelope in Wyoning only.  I guess they know the statelines and don't cross them.  We saw lots of cattle and some sheep.  I-25 is not as heavily traveled but we went up and down many hills.  Sometimes the truck was only able to go 45 MPH.  A time or two, I thought I would have to get out and push.

When we got into Montana, we saw rolling hills of cut hay.  There must have been 100's of acres of what had been hay.  The landscape changed to mountains with pine trees and large rock-strewn areas.  Unfortunately, it was hazy and my pictures don't do the mountains justice.

For most of the day, we didn't even listen to the radio.  We just drove soaking in God's beautiful world.  We think it is about 300 miles from here to Glacier or about a six hour drive.  Hopefully, we will get out of here early so we can get set up by early afternoon.  We plan to stay at Glacier for two or three days.  It will be a treat to stay in one place for a little while.

We are having a great time.  I will try to post a picture or two that I took from the truck.  If the pictures look good, they will be of Montana.
