Shilo Inn Helena

... the choice to move again for the rest of the semester, but I moved too many times, so I really don't want to continue. Except, my mom and my dad's, marriage is out of place now, so they may divorce... Meaning that my Dad may move to Kentucky and get the job he's always dreamed of and my Mom would move to Tennessee or New York ...

... but here the call them growlers he he. We took a whole lot back to their place had elk burgers, listened to Andy bang out tunes on the guitar and had a raging good local time. Awesome! Now I sit here, it's our second night in this hotel as we didn't accomplish much of a rest day yesterday<br><br>I'm blown away with the cool people we have met to date. Americans are so very welcoming, generous and know how to have a good time, so not the stereotype that you hear about so often.

... is left at the end of a month should probably just go to the dump.<br><br>Then we stopped at Safeway and got some Yogurt and a bag of ice for our cooler and back to the motel we went. We are now hunkered down for the evening.<br><br>Tomorrow we are off on another scenic drive of taking US-12 all the way to Lewiston, ID where we will spend the night. The next day we will continue on US-12 thru Walla Walla, WA and finally catch I-84 for home.<br>

We day tripped in the car to Great Falls today. Jane drove the entire day and the two of us are still on speaking terms! We visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Even though it's about the third center we have been to, each one has taught us something new. Lewis and Clark were told by the Native Americans that they would know they were on the Missouri River if they saw the great falls. There is a dam there now, but the falls are ...

... until it turned south at the town of Livingston (what a great name!). Suddenly, we were back along the Missouri River near Three Forks where the Madison, Jefferson, and Gallatin Rivers join to form the Missouri River. We visited the Missouri headwaters the last time we passed through this area. <br><br>We made it to the RV park 8 miles north of Helena about 1:00. Originally, we thought we would ...

... the sun on the deck of   Karmadillo's restaurant in Reeder's Alley &#8211; a really welcome treat seeing as how we have not seen much sun since we left the Nevada desert!  For dessert we again missed the famed huckleberry ice cream, so unfortunately we will have no choice but to go get this for breakfast tomorrow morning.  ;)

... literally right on our freeway AND they had a truck-stop sized gas station and parking lot.  The place was built just for us.  I ordered a "John Deere Green" sandwich (veggie) with &#8220;guacamole ranch&#8221; dressing, which was AMAZING.  Jim had roast beef which he said rivaled Schat&#8217;s Bakkery in Mammoth!  And best of all ...

... had a video library, entertainment section with demo PSP's and a café with free hi speed Wi Fi connection! It was amazing. - We spent 5 hours there! We had received some more inquiries about the RV and had to respond to those. At about 7.30 we drove out to a place called Devil's Elbow where we had heard there was another campsite on the lake for only $10. We had the pick of all the sites as it was pretty much empty and we settled down for the night.

... dilemma letting the Sisters of Charity (a Catholic order of nuns from India) manage and run their facility. When I commented on this to Claudette, in surprise she replied, "But I thought America was a democracy?" How does one answer that? We are, sort-of? Yes, I could emblazon a Christian phrase on the side of my car..... and try to ignore the outcries it elicits in response. In the Philippines, it is simply accepted for what it is: one person's expression of faith, not an act of ...

... And this is November!?!?!?!? So that's what I've been up to. The job is going well, everyone working there actually wants to make a difference in the environment and wants to be in Montana so its good company and we get lots of suggestions for hikes and things to see. Rebecca is diggin her job working at the Veterins Hospital. Kind of the same thing applies for her work too. The Doctors are all really nice because they're living where they want to live ...
