South of the 49th

We are on the road again. We left Cochran in the dark at 7am and went south on 22, 22x and 2. then we took 3 and then 4 to the US boarder. After a brief delay at custom to give up two oranges, a lemon and to verify I was not the Randal Martin they had warrants for we were on our way to Great Falls.    

In Great Falls we stayed at a KOA. Our fresh water tank was almost dry. The camp manager said all the site had only power, no water so he had us pull up next to he home and we filled to 1/3 full.

 The sun was out after we parked in our site so it was time to explore just like Louis and Clark did. There was a nature walk that ran around the west and south side of the park. Along the walk were stopping stations with detailed information about the history of the area. The view to the south was impressive with mountains in the distance. 

 The morning of November 2nd as we were closing the dinning room slide we heard a snap and on investigation found a cable had snapped and only had two or three strands left. The slide still had a foot to go to be inside. We push the button and it came in to it's resting place.

With everything stored for travel, off we went on Hwy 87 east and south. Lorraine is becoming very proficient with the camera in a moving vehicle. She was able to get a shot of these prong horns grassing along the highway.       

Last night we pulled into the Yellowstone River Campground where again there was only power available at the site. All it other facilities were also closed. No showers, toilets or laundry.
 

Then while I was editing this pictures we heard a big bang, like a canon, and the power was off. This was 7:30 pm so it was dark. I grabbed Lorraine ... no I grabbed a flash light an headed outside to see what happened. I met quite a few of the other camper all with flashlights in hand. We did not find the problem but the people in charge knew we were out as was most of the neighborhood. The power was restored at 12:30am.     

This area is set up for travelers pets, but we don't have any pets. So we couldn't use this part of the camp.
