Last night we decided to go to the Casino and spent 2 hours losing $20 each. It was fun and we laughed a lot at our inexperience at the slots
:-)
Today was our longest travel day to date. We stopped in Bozeman for a coffee break, in Missoula, Montana for lunch, then all the way to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The scenery was beautiful on this drive as we were in the mountains part of the time and in very lush valleys at others. It rained some in a few places but not heavily. The temps were cool from 9c to a high of 15c. Most people were dressed more warmly than we are.
The road was very winding in places and the hills down were as steep as the hills up. Our highest elevation of the day was 4,760 feet. Anyone who knows me will know that I had some nervous moments. I asked HP to drive at 70 mph because I found that less hairy and he very kindly oblidged. There was quite a lot of road work happening too which slowed us down in places.
I didn't see any antilope today but there were horses with fouls and herds of Red Angus this time. Also some sheep. No pictures of these critters today.
As I write this we are very happy to be settled in a very nice Best Western and looking forward to a good rest.
Our goal for tomorrow is to travel as far into Canada as we can. We are only 150 miles from the border here so that will be "doable" for sure. Just how far we will see.
Wish us luck with that,,,,,
Talk to you tomorrow evening,,,
