We left Dillon, MT early afternoon on June 27 (Saturday) with our destination being Anaconda, MT. This will be our detour city for a week instead of Pomeroy and Deer Park, WA. We will leave here on July 4 and head to St. Regis, MT for two nights; Libby, MT on July 6 for two nights and then on to Columbia Falls, MT on July 8-15, both destinations long reserved, about six months ago. The weather so far looks warm but very comfortable for Floridians!
Yesterday (Sunday) we took off and did absolutely nothing! Jake was a happy-cat camper, as he was able to occupy my lap as much as he wanted all day long! We needed the day to recover from our long day on Friday with not much rest for our much shorter day on Saturday!
Today is a different story! Well-rested and ready to go see what Anaconda has to offer, we ventured out around 10:00 a.m. for breakfast and found Anaconda has nothing to offer on Monday, or probably Tuesday either! It is a strange little western town with the roads being worked on diligently, causing lanes and side roads to be closed.
We were going to take the scenic drive in a few days but since we were already in Anaconda we headed to Philipsburg. We asked the GPS to give us a restaurant between here and there and it brought us to a fishing area, still in Anaconda, but in a saloon. We opted to skip breakfast and headed out to Philipsburg. When we arrived in Philipsburg, another quaint mining town in the west, we found not much to be offered there either! We did ask a local merchant and was directed to a BBQ place. Breakfast now turned into lunch, which was just fine with us.
The scenic drive was fabulous, as most are in this neck of the woods, and the best being part being:
FINALLY! And, this is not zoomed. This is a shot out of the front window of our Jeep. We have several shots of this bull coming up from the right side of the road, getting himself over the guardrail, walking across the street at his own leisure, and then climbing back over. I also have a video!
The rest of today we are doing a few things that need attention inside the coach. We have another strip of molding over the passenger slide needing some Gorilla Glue and a few nails, which Thom will take care of. There is also some trim in the bedroom that needs the same.
Tomorrow we have an RV A/C guy coming to the coach to check our Coleman a/c (zone 1). It is working but it is starting to make a noise that we just need investigated! Lord knows we don't need the a/c to completely fail with the hotter weather.
We will be visiting Butte in a few days. There is a mine museum and mine tour that we have a reservation for. We have no idea what else there is to do near here but we will figure it out. It is better than the oven we would have been in!
Until next blog ...
