| Montana! |
After leaving the rest area near Columbus we started to look for breakfast, travelling through the first town Reed Point, with nothing but McDee’s so we motored on up the highway to Big Timber and had “brunch” as it was now after 10:00 AM. Dale and Kasey had breakfast and Dillon and I chose lunch, a burger for him and hot beef sandwich for me. Everyone else's meal was fine but the gravy on my sandwich must have come straight from the fridge it was so cold. After trying to get both waitresses attention for about 10 minutes I finally took it to the counter myself. They said they’d get me another. When it came about another 15 minutes later the others had already finished so I started on mine - the bread was so soggy it wouldn’t stay on the fork and the gravy was so unbelievably salty I drank mine, Dale’s and Dillon’s water to wash it down but the fries were good. Off we went again. We travelled through Montana seeing a lot of half empty and/or almost ghost towns - nothing really to tell about.

About 3:00 (or 4:00 pm) we started looking for someplace for the night and came upon Sloway National Forest Campground - a beautiful spot right along the St. Regis river - so nice we decided to stay another night. We spent the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday just swimming in the river, resting, lazing, and just plain old doing nothing - it was GREAT!

| The river was nice and refreshing on the hot day! |
 |
| Relaxing! |
Gloria - if you’re reading this blog you’ll be glad to know it was a “REAL” campsite - the train came by every few hours and blew it’s whistle - LOL!

| A "Real" campsite - TRAINS! |
We met some new friends Saturday night - Sharon and Omer from San Fransico area and Sunday night Edward & Mickele (?) and their three children from El Centro, Ca. We shared a campfire and fun times with them on each night.

| Campfire Time! |
 |
| Hanging & having fun with new friends. |
Saturday night we had Sesame Ginger Chicken with Steamed Snow Peas for dinner and Sunday we had SPAM, Eggs and Pancakes for breakfast, Wieners and Beans with Honeybutter Biscuits for lunch and Lamb, Brats, Scalloped Potatoes and Greek salad (minus cucumber) for dinner. The only downer on the two glorious days was I fell asleep reading in the shade and the sun moved and I got a real bad sunburn - ouch!
Note: No internet - posting this a few days late!
