We are on the road as of yesterday morning. Was tough leaving Jamie, Brian and the boys behind. Even after almost 6 weeks you would expect that it would be time to leave but many tears fell to the ground as we said good bye for now.

High Life......

Had a last outing  with the Hebert family. One of the local farms had a very nice pumpkin patch for the kids. But not just pumpkins of course.....petting farm, pony rides, corn maze, tractors and wagon rides to where you could each pick your favorite pumpkin to take home and turn into your favorite jack-o-lantern.

 Those boys.....it is so hard to get a picture that one of them is not clowning around. Some times you are lucky and get dual clowns.
What a Nice Family

Our efforts of pumpkins turned jack-o-lanterns

Presently setting with my MotorHomie (Sue of course) at "Jim and Mary's RV Park" in Missoula Montana. Not missing the drama of the World Series though....kind of cozy. Yea rough camping but it is actually pretty chilly outside low 40's. Low tonight is to be just above freezing. I do not...repeat do not want to attempt scraping frost, snow or whatever from the huge glass shield that adorns the front of our coach. Gotta get out of here...almost waited to long.
Made it to Spokane Washington after the sad good bye last night. So tough to leave that we did not get on the road as early as hoping for. Was waaaaaay dark as we cruised into town (getting dark at 6 pm so sucks). If not for the GPS we would have never found the RV park. Not only did the darkness make getting around in an unknown suburban terrain a real challenge, the park was buried deep in the bowels of a neighborhood. Finally got to sleep.....woke up in a dump. Another lesson learned (not to say I have not had this lesson previously, but a great memory stimulator) never drive past sundown to arrive in an unknown city and an unknown over nighter.

Lots of rain and.....yes did see some snow flakes in the mountain passes. More passes tomorrow, hope it warms a little. Have not determined our destination for tomorrow as of yet. Thinking Billings Montana but still have to pull the maps (computer and paper....still like the feel of an atlas). Can't beat determining times and mileage with the electronics though.

Montana Mountain Pass. Some breathtaking scenery.
