It has been a full six months since we began this lifestyle. Is it what we had hoped it would be, yes and more. Would we do anything differently, probably not. What about fuel prices? Well, the news isn't good but it won't keep us from moving on. We will simply spend more time in an area to keep our fuel costs down. We will keep ourselves busy with geocaching, birding, kayaking, hiking etc. (notice these are all things that don't cost anything?). If we were still working, we would still have fuel costs we couldn't control and we wouldn't get the change of scenery.
We left West Yellowstone around 8 a.m. and got stopped on the highway about a half hour later. There was an accident and we had to wait until they got the trailer (loaded with tires) unloaded and up righted. We sat and waited for about a half hour before the ranger gave us the go ahead. At least the scenery was beautiful. The trip to Missoula went well. We stopped for fuel someplace that had a McDonald's next door. We went inside and got us a couple of cold drinks to get back on the road with. We have found that half way during our travel day that stopping for cold drinks really refreshes as the water we bring with us has warmed up by them.
We got to our RV park on the west side of Missoula, Jim & Mary's RV Park (http://www.jimandmarys.com/). What a nice park loaded with trees. Our site was a pull-through that was quite long and was in shade. It was hot and muggy so we turned on the AC's and went into town for fuel and a bite to eat. We stumbled upon another Famous Dave's BBQ which, of course, we had to partake. We paid $4.51 a gallon for diesel. Missoula is a good sized town and they have all the conveniences of home.
We got back to the rig and I tried to log on to the internet using the park's wifi. Well, it said poor reception and I couldn't get logged on. I guess that would be my only complaint with this park is that they need to improve their wifi connection. We were only five spaces from the office so distance shouldn't have been an issue. Oh, well.
We left the AC on as it was hot and muggy when we went to bed.
