Day 9 - Just Driving North

Another slow day - just driving west, then north, then west, then north and then west again. Lots and lots of not a lot of anything. We saw more hay today. I do believe that in the last two days we have seen enough hay rolled up in rolls or squished into squares to feed a whole bunch of cows. We mostly saw Angus cattle today, but there was one farm with a mixture of breeds.

The only animals other than cows we saw were two antelopes. They were playing on the range. Actually, they were eating grass left by the hay baler in one big field. But, they were our first animals other than cows and a couple of deer that we have seen. Hopefully Canada will produce more sightings.

As we traveled west, we did see snow in the mountains. I took pictures, but I don't know if anything will be visible in the pictures. There was also one really big wind farm. Lots of great big windmills just generating power like crazy. The little town that was close to the farm looked a bit more properous than some of the towns we had driven through.

Our final destination tonight was Great Falls, MT. We got here, headed south to the same truck stop where we purchased fueld when we were here on our Yellowstone trip. And, we are staying in the same RV park. Not just the same park - the exact same space as the last time!!! Kind of ironic.

I've made my final stateside grocery trip to get milk, butter and a few more cans of cat food. I'm thawing some pork loin that I had prepared for the trip. Jimmy is washing the coach. Both cats are asleep (not like they didn't sleep most of the day). They will both probably be up a lot during the night since this space backs up to the highway. Jimmy nor I will hear anything, but the cats most likely will.

That's all for tonight until I get the pictures uploaded. Hopefully there will be more exciting updates tomorrow.
