loving retirement
Day 27 – Anaconda to Livingston MT Our drive was wholly uneventful except for a recycling stop that made us go through a tunnel that was just barely big enough for the rig. I might have held my breath. After Bozeman, we drove by the Montana Grizzly Encounter. The billboards made it look kinda cool,…
Day 24 – Saint Regis to Anaconda MT Ugh at construction. And EFF YOU at some construction contractors putting the cones a few feet into our lane, leaving us no wiggle room for when the wind gusts. I hit four of them. I ran one completely over. Lots of others were down, too. And there…

Days 1-2 – Rawlins, WY Driving day We left a day earlier than originally planned for reasons. Just like last year, we saw a Miami Hurricane along our route. I wonder if it’s one of the ones we saw last year. We boondocked (with permission, of course) for two nights in a parking lot for…
