Great Falls 1

June 10, 2012       Great Falls, Day 1

Ugh!  What a day!   It started off well enough with both RV's getting gassed up and on the road by 9 a.m. but it went downhill from there. It was sunny,  chilly and very windy as  we took Rt 87 north toward Great Falls.   This is is good road, but we got behind 4 big red trucks who seemed to find 45 MPH to be their top speed.  It was SO frustrating!   There was no way to pass them as it was a 2 lane highway.   Then there was a 22 mile detour because a bridge was out.  Then the rain started.   GRRRRR .   The trucks finally pulled off to the side of the road about 50 miles from Great Falls...thank heavens.

Following Barb and Gary (and 4 red trucks).  

Is that a sunset?   Maybe tomorrow will be better!

When we arrived at Malmstrom AFB it was pouring rain and 46 degrees.  They had rain mixed with snow here earlier today, and we are told that the Road to the Sun in Glacier NP is closed due to snow!   What has this Florida gal got herself into!   The FAMCAMP here at the base is very nice with full hook-ups and we settled in, had some Bailey's and coffee, ate dinner, did laundry, and planned to do nothing for the rest of the evening.  As Scarlett O'Hara would say, "Tomorrow is another day."
