Hello everyone!
We're finally here. Actually we arrived yesterday but couldn't get on-line because at the campground we can't get a strong enough signal to even use our cell phones, let alone digital.
I am now on-line via the cell phone for a modem up at our property. I'm playing at this while Dick is cutting up downed timber for fire wood. Just a little while ago I heard some colorful language and he had dropped a log on his broken toe.
I'm not sure when the poor man is going to be able to put on his shoes to go mountain biking? He's kicking himself in the bottom right now for not bringing his golf clubs. They have a brand new small course here and he'd be able to do that.
Fortunately there is plenty to do & see, not to mention just plain relax at the campsite. Retirement is hopefully three years away and we are both trying to be really careful and not wish our lives away while we are waiting. I'm still trying to convince him we need to full time for a couple of years before we settle back into a stick house.
We did end up doing the 8 hour then 4 hour day. Thank goodness to as the winds were really strong on Wednesday. Even in the lay over RV Park we were in that night it felt like we might be playing the Wizard of Oz and take off into the air.
We saw Jim n Karan. We met them for lunch. They both look great and are having a wonderful time Work Camping in Glacier again this year. They are two of the nicest people. We may leave here a day or two early and go to Glacier and camp near them on our way out. Sure would be nice to spend some time with them, particularly since they are not going to be able to attend the Rally.
It's just beautiful here today. Temps in near 80 and the bluest, sunniest & largest sky you'll ever see. It's not as hot as last year and everything is really green. They've had a lot of rain here too. At least that is cutting down the risk of forest fires which they had so bad last year. Heck they even evacuated Glacier and Jim n Karan had to leave early because of the fires.

...Hope you have a great trip. I'd like a report on the part about going through the mountains.
I am connecting with a cell phone too and it seems to be working pretty well, although I'm not going down the road doing it. Have you tried plugging your phone into the trucks lighter with and rapid charger while you are on-line in the truck? Not sure it would keep the charge up, but it seems like it would.

She pulled great through the mountains. No problems at all. I wasn't even white knuckled like last time. I'm a tad bit height phobic. (Actually a tad is mildly putting it.
) So a few of my calm down pills and I was great.
What ever it takes right?
I wish I could plug in my phone while on the computer but my phone only has one port (?) and it's either for the charger or the cable to hook up to the computer. I read somewhere that Motorola has a phone you can do both at the same time with. It's not tri-mode though and we are in too many remote locations to only rely on digital. Maybe my next phone will be like that in a year when I am ready for a phone upgrade? By then Verizon should have even more towers up. I'd go satellite if it weren't so cost prohibitive.

...Have fun and drive safe! US 2 is a nice highway but you never see anyone. LOL And the gas stations are few and far between. I remember praying we were going to make it to the next one. LOL Where in Montana are you going?

We are in Eureka, Montana. In the north west corner of the state. Seven miles from the Canadian border. God's country!
US 2 is really not bad and we haven't had any problems really on gas stations to get diesel and this trip I am writing down all the places where there are good stations and decent stop overs for the night before proceeding on the journey.
I haven't got my list of Montana's with me, but will compose a post at the camper and try and make it back to signal-ville tomorrow and post.
One bummer is they sent my central vac to our home when they were suppose to send it here to our campground and it was suppose to be waiting for us.
They have now sent another this way but it's not due to arrive until the 14th. Not good since I left the other vacuum at home with the sincere hope that our daughter might use it a time or two while we are away in the living room. Doubtful, but one can always hope.
Hi Sis and good luck on the show. I know all will go well.
Everyone have a great weekend! Today is our anniversary...not our wedding anniversary but 22 years ago today I met the love of my life and we have been together ever since. I am truly a blessed woman.
