Wow! Yesterday was an amazing feat...in my opinion. We left Park City MT about 9:30 headed east. I knew the weather was to be favorable so I told Muggy that our goal was to make Jamestown, ND by evening....540 miles! She said, "you're nuts!!" And remember, we are driving a 32 foot RV and pulling a car. I don't go over 60 miles an hour (yes, I'm one of THOSE guys in front of you!), so 540 miles is a tremendous accomplishment!
Well, we followed the course of the Yellowstone River (and the trail of Lewis and Clark) past the turn-offs to the Little Bighorn Battlefield and the area that General Terry rode to find the battlefield after the event. Beautiful country.
We stopped in Terry, MT where I used to go antelope hunting and continued east. We had favorable winds and soon we were at the North Dakota border. W pressed on and finally, about 11:00pm last night we rolled into Jamestown and the Frontier Fort RV Park. If you ever head this way, check out the Buffalo Museum and frontier town. Jamestown has done an amazing job here. And, they have three albino buffalo. The albinos did not cooperate for us so we didn't get to see them, but it was fun to hear about them.
Jamestown was another boyhood home for me. They have now erected a statue in my name (JUST KIDDING!!). The house we lived in is long gone, but we had a fun time driving around and reminiscing.
Now it's on to South Dakota and another niece's place near Rosholt SD and the headwaters for the Minnesota River at Lake Traverse.
