Sam And Saundra's Year Long Adventure - Part 102

Sam and Saundra’s Year Long Adventure – Part 102

Mid-West

5/13/09 – Billings, Montana

On The Road Again

I did not cry – Just looked back a lot as we moved forward.  We do plan to return, not only to re-see what we have seen, but to see and do what we have not. We are on our way to Billings.  My brother, Cecil is going to meet us in his BIG rig and take some of our heavier items home for us (rocks).  So we pack up and head out.  The weather is chilly, but no moisture (OK, just a little in my left eye).  It is gray and overcast.  We take the scenic route in Wyoming toward Horton, in an attempt to get a glimpse of the Devil’s Tower.  We did not see anything on the horizon anywhere, due to it being soooo overcast.   We Pass the Big Horn Mountains on the left and enter Montana.  Sam is stuck on the Big Sky motto of Montana and can hardly keep his eyes on the road.  He just wants to know where it is.  The mountains become less high and more rimrocky the closer to Billings we get – going by freeway.  We pass the Little Big Horn area and want to return if we get a chance.

Not With the Trailer!

On we go to Billing and make it to the Billings RV Park, where Cecil is already waiting.  (He must have jet engines on that RV of his.)  We spend the evening having dinner, and repacking approximately 2000 pounds of rocks from our trailer and Brutus, into his towed pickup and RV.  Cecil also took some other bulky items back home for us.  THANKS, CECIL!!!!! We dreaded taking all that through Canada and Alaska.  Big sigh of relief.  I will not turn into Lucille Ball after all.
