HP was very sick during the night so we had some concerns about how this day would turn out. We left the motel without having breakfast and waited for a couple of hours before stopping. When HP was feeling a bit better we stopped at I-Hop in Evansville, near Casper, and had a nice breakfast. Then we drove on to Sheridan where we had a snack and coffee at MacD and then on to here - Columbus, Montana.
We are seeing lots of Casinos - tempting for me but not for HP :-)
The goal today was for Billings, Montana so we made that and a little bit more.
The country was beautiful today and unusual even though it was miles and miles of rolling hills. The wind was very strong and it was really cool this morning (9c) and for the rest of the day. The highest the temp reached was 21c and is now back down again to about 15c. Everyone we saw was wearing jackets. Traffice was relatively light.
The goal for pictures was to get some of the elk or antelope and horses. We saw quite a few antelope but not fast enough for a picture. They are really beautiful creatures. We saw some singles and a couple of groups. There were lots of horses too and I did manage to get one picture of those.
We can now see the mountains from some viewpoints now so that tells us we are getting closer to home.
Tomorrow is closing for the homestead sale so HP is naturally anxious for that to be completed. Then everything from the past will be settled and he will be ready for his new home.
Our goal for tomorrow is to reach the border of Idaho. (Mullen, Idaho)
Wish us luck with that,,,,
Talk to you tomorrow evening,,,,,
