Day #24 Great Falls to Whitefish, Montana

There is just a light snow on the grassy areas this morning.  Took Chassis for her morning walk and she performed her bark & jump act.  Seems two little shih-zu’s had the nerve to walk in her space, and she just had to say something.  She also was wound up enough to bark at a passing truck!  We had to have a discussion and a “sit-down”.  I should have had the “pet corrector” compressed air with me, as my QUIET command didn’t work.  We are still trying….

We had another good stop for gas except for a vehicle in front of us didn’t move for a long time and we were almost sticking out in the road waiting.  Seems he wanted a hot dog and chips before resuming his drive.  We also had to squeeze between an unoccupied car and truck that were randomly parked in non parking spots.  Guess it was hot dog time for them too!

There has not been much wildlife on this trip, but we did see a few more deer.  More exciting than the wildlife are the road signs.  “Warning! Changing road conditions” “High wind area” “Watch for ice on bridge” “Icy spots next 6 miles”

What we didn’t expect was a traffic stop for road construction in the middle of miles and miles of wheat fields!  It was complete with a red light and we were backed up with a line of vehicles. 

We arrived in Whitefish early afternoon and are so glad to be here.  Got our old spot back, saw our bird feeder in the same tree and were greeted warmly by our Montana family.  The RV slide is out so we can breathe again.  All that’s left is some cleaning up of road dust and mud. 

That can wait….
