We traveled big sky country in Montana today. We have about 100 miles to go until we enter Canada. We had rain & wind all day. Even some hail which was pretty startling, but it didn't last long. We saw more flooding today. There are lakes in Montana where there shouldn't be any. The flooding is a major problem for the farmers & ranchers. You know you are out West when you see buffalo - which we did today, so we are out West (yea!) Just before stopping for the night in Havre, MT we encountered major road construction. Had to drive 2-3 miles of dirt road. As you can guess, with all the rain it was a total mess. Eldon's nicely waxed truck, camper, and scooter are totally covered in mud. I have a picture but left my camera back at the campground (I am at the nearby hotel/casino for the Wifi.) We plan to drive through the Canadian Rockies including Banff & Jasper on the way north. We decided to skip Glacier National Park for now. Sorry to disappoint, but no comments from Eldon & Larry today, they are back at the camper.
