Sheridan, WY to Butte, Montana

Bill spent some time flushing the black tank to be sure there were no problems from being parked in Wheatland for a few days. Then we got off to a good start at 8:45 this morning.It wasn't long before we crossed into Montana.

It's a beautiful sunny day today with no wind so far, 62 degrees. We've gone from prairie to hills with scrubby pines. A few miles back we watched a crop duster swoop and turn over a farmer's field. We're going to try to make it to Missoula by tonight. Bill just went into the Crow Agency Law Enforcement Center. None of the officers were at the station, so Bill left some cards and shared what he is about to start. Gas was 2.30 a gallon here, tax free.

The Garmin led us all over Joe's barn in Billings looking for the West Side Baptist Church where we met one of the pastors. The church website said that Pastor Howe was still there, but we were informed that he had retired sometime ago. The associate pastor didn't introduce himself or ask any questions. He had no knowledge of the letters, emails and calls by us. We don't expect to hear back, but the Lord knows. So far, the churches who say they'll pray about it, never call back. So we travel ever onward towards Seattle where Bill will jump on his bike and start across America thanking police, firefighters. and military along the way. Just got a good shot of snow capped mountains near Big Timber. (As you can see, we lost our sunshine)

One of these is Crazy Peak, 11,209 feet high. Sure glad that Bill isn't going to be cycling over that one! We didn't bring snowshoes! LOL! Drove into Bozeman for a fuel stop and saw the Sacajawea Hotel.

There was a bronze of her and her baby and a plaque that told some of her story.

Took a few pictures and stretched our legs and started out once again. This was a metal sculpture of an interesting looking Buffalo at the hotel.

Looks like we'll be camping in Butte, MT tonight so we're headed in that direction. A KOA campground was the only campground in Butte so we pulled in. Our experience at the KOA in Sheridan was marginal, so we weren't expecting much. When we pulled up, the owner opened the door for us and welcomed us warmly. A nice experience to two travel weary people. The internet here works great and I'm a happy camper indeed! LOL!
