Wednesday, August 15 We left the Best Western at 10:40 AM. It was 64 degrees and clear. Because I wanted something different for breakfast, we stopped at a small cafe in Sheridan. Tommy got a cinnamon roll and a pecan roll. The cinnamon roll had absolutely no taste and the pecan roll was stale. So […]

Tuesday, August 14 We left the hotel at 11:15 AM; it was 61 degrees and smoky. We got gas, ice and breakfast and headed south. When we travel, if we can’t find a local cafe to get breakfast, we will go to McDonald’s. It is a pet peeve of mine to get an Egg McMuffin […]

Monday, August 13 We woke up to another beautiful morning; it felt like Fall. When we left the hotel it was 55 degrees and clear. We gassed up and went to the Montana Nugget Casino again for breakfast. We planned on heading south. As we were leaving Kalispell, we found this beautiful church. Fishing on […]

Sunday, August 12 We woke up to a beautiful morning with no smoke. When we left the hotel, we weren’t sure where we were going to go but first we had to get some breakfast. Tommy asked someone at the gas station where we could get a good breakfast sandwich. He was told to go […]

Saturday, August 11 Going to Glacier National Park! The drive from Great Falls up to Glacier was really smoky. As we got closer to Glacier, the mountains seemed to all of a sudden appear. If there hadn’t been so much smoke I’d have said they were majestic. We drove into the park to the Visitors’ […]

Friday, August 10 We left Miles City at 10:00 AM. We thought that we would head towards Helena but didn’t know if we would stay there for the night, go farther or go a completely different route. We wound up in Great Falls instead. There was lots of this driving through eastern/central Montana: Grain elevators: […]

Thursday, August 9 We stayed at the Little Missouri Inn the night before. What a nice hotel it was. For dinner, Tommy walked to the restaurant, Teddy’s Lounge, that was in the hotel next door. I got a Steak Mochata Salad which was delicious! Tommy ordered medium hot wings that were really hot! We left […]

Wednesday, August 8 One of the luxuries of not having a plan to stick to is we could be lazy if we wanted; we decided to do just that. We left the hotel finally at 9:40 and did the usual “first morning” stuff–gas, ice, breakfast. We headed north towards North Dakota. At about 11:40 AM […]

Tuesday, August 7 A first for us–we were going to stay at a hotel for two nights in a row. We had a very nice room at the Clubhouse Inn. Our room was on the first floor and we had a small walkout that led to the larger courtyard. We left the hotel at 8:20 […]

Monday, August 6 This is the day I had been waiting for! Sunflowers! We left the hotel at 9:05 AM, got gas, ice and breakfast. It was perfect weather for taking pictures–69 degrees and cloudy. We had a fairly short distance to go to our next stop. While we had not really planned the road […]
