Are We Nascar Fans?

Shelby, Montana
Trails West RV Resort

Bill pulled out of the RV park at 9 am with Harry following us.  The sun was shining and it was a warm day.  We were headed north on I 15.

When we stopped at the rest area, a lady stopped Carlena and said she'd been following us and came into the rest area to ask if we were Nascar fans.  She saw the orange "numbers" on the back of the coaches.  She thought she saw numbers eight and eleven.  

It took me a while before I realized what she was talking about.  Harry installed his orange leis in the shape of an eight.

I guess we look like number eleven.

A nice fellow offered to take our pictures.  

Ron, the photographer, then thought we should have a photo by the sign.

I drove the second leg of our travels today and Bill took some beautiful scenery photos.

The 235 miles covered all kinds of terrain.

Yes, there were a lot of orange cones on the highway.

This is the Missouri River where Lewis and Clark traveled.

We are currently in Shelby, Montana at a Passport America park called Trails West.  Full hook ups for $18.73.  Thankfully, we called yesterday and the girl told us to enter at the Shopko parking lot.  It might have been difficult to find the entrance as it is in the rear of the Best Western.

When I came inside to put the slides out, the coffeepot was on the floor, with the decanter shattered all over the floor. I've left the coffeepot on the counter ever since we've had this fifth wheel and also in our old Cardinal and it's never moved around.  The good news is that the Shopko is right here.

Instead of buying a new carafe, we bought a Mr. Coffee with a thermal stainless steel carafe.  Hopefully, it will survive the roads ahead.  

Carlena insisted upon taking another picture of us.

She even got in it too.  See her pretty finger.

Even though we are 35 miles away from the border, we felt like the adventure was beginning today.

The girl at the park check in told us this place was 10 miles away but worth the trip.

When we walked in we were asked if we had reservations.  

I had told Bill earlier in the day, I hadn't had any beef from Montana.  It doesn't taste like beef we get in Arizona.  I ordered a steak and it was delicious.  Harry said his meal was the best he's had.  Bill ordered a burger that was a half pound.  Everything was cooked fresh and nothing frozen.  

I realized I had 3 packages of ground beef in the freezer that I had divided and separated that wasn't labeled from a store.  I also had two onions left.  I cooked them up and hopefully, it won't be a problem.  We have two clementines, we'll eat tomorrow morning.  

Another great day.
