Heading into Montana
We got on the road at 10:10 -- a misty morning, cloudy. It rained during the night and was very windy. So now we are headed to Montana. We enjoyed our time in Medora, and in North Dakota. This Medora campground had a heated pool, but we just didn’t have time to get over there and check it out. The show was great and we got to see a lot of wildlife here at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We always love to see the buffalo -- and everything else. We pulled on the Interstate 94 just a few minutes later, and there was nothing behind us and nothing in front of us. That’s the way we like to travel.
We crossed into Montana a half-hour later, at 10:40. This was our destination goal for the summer. Now that we’re here, we don’t know what we’re gonna do in Montana, but we’re gonna look around see what we can find. We have reservations for the next 3 nights at another COE campground, but beyond that, we are completely open.
Speaking of open, we’re in big sky country now -- not many trees for miles. Lots of open space, and you can see forever.
We passed probably 10 miles at least of stored cars on the railroad track on this highway 200 S. Lindsay was the only town we passed. There were frequent breaks for field access but no side roads. It went on forever.

We passed probably 10 miles, at least, of stored grain railroad cars on the railroad track on this Highway 200S. Lindsay was the only town we passed through here. But these train cars went on a long, long way. There were frequent breaks for field access but no side roads.
We had lunch in Circle, Montana, which is about halfway on our drive today. It was a very slow lunch for just a hamburger, took over an hour. We had seen three pronghorn and a deer by the time we stopped for lunch. We saw two more antelope on the afternoon stretch, and one more when we drove in to Fort Peck for dinner. That didn't work out -- the kitchen was closed and only the bar was open, so we went back to the RV and fixed our own. I didn't feel great and Joe was trying to give me a break, but it didn't work out, and Glasgow was the next option, probably 15 miles further.
In addition to several fields of cattle, we saw two big flocks of sheep. It had been sunny, but then spots of rain started hitting the windshield, which always pleases Joe because he gets his windshield washed if it rains hard enough.
We arrived at our campground about 3:30, raining again. We are at another beautiful COE campground on the Missouri River at Fort Peck Lake. The lake is huge, and there are a lot of campers with boats in this campground.
Meanwhile, back in Florida, our grandson Andrew is going to a fishing camp this week. I didn't hear how many he caught today, but here are two nice ones.
