It was 47 degrees when we got up this morning around seven - about 56 in the RV. We did use the "fireplace" for a little while this morning to take the chill off. This afternoon the temps are still below 80! Yay! No wind to speak of, so, the day is super pleasant.
We had a leisurely morning getting ourselves moving. Rog made me some blueberry pancakes - my first of the trip - and they were super good. We went into the town of Townsend looking for fuel, a barber, and a drug store. We found all of the above but the barber was backed up five deep so Rog opted out. We found a small bakery/deli (4 tables) that mostly sold doughnuts but did have a limited menu of sandwiches so we ate lunch before we came back to the RV.
I fibbed when I said this place was a total gravel parking lot. We do have a small patch of grass in a raised 6' x 10' bed between the RVs. Something's better than nothing. We did sit out there for a while this afternoon with Maggie stretched out in her flat dog impersonation. The rest of the place, though, is pretty much gravel with some sparse grass areas around the buildings and for the tent sites. Not many places to take the dog to do her business - the prairie grass along the outer perimeter is pretty stickery and she tiptoes through it and then tries to squat and bounces right back up when she hits the dried grass.
Rog said he saw lots of boats going out this morning as the winds were calm and the fisher people had to stay home yesterday. We've only a slight breeze this afternoon and it is wonderful after yesterday's constant winds of around 35 with some major gusts that shook the RV. The RV windows are open and the ceiling fan is running and it is quite comfy today.
Roger is getting his day of rest - he's sitting outside with his earphones listening to his Audible book. Well, he did strip the bed and remake it, cook breakfast and do the dishes after, and then helped me fold laundry. So, almost a whole day of rest. I've already had a short cat nap - me and the Maggs on the couch.
This camp store has a huge bookstore which I wandered through while the washers were going. Ended up buying a book and hoping it is one I can talk my book club into reading. "The Milagro Beanfield Wars."
Montana and horses seem to go together and this camp store has a couple of pretty cool looking ones.
