Day 33 - July 12th

Travelled from Plains, Montana to Hardin, Montana
We had lots of miles to make up today due to our unexpected detour yesterday so we were on the road at 7AM. It was perfect, the sun was shining, it was toasty warm, and we were on the right road!! I got some really nice photos of the sun rising. For breakfast we had to struggle through eating at the Crackle Barrel. It was a difficult task, but we did it!! I have to admit it was probably the best healthy breakfast I have had the entire trip and I've had some great breakfasts!! We travelled all day along I90 and found the landscape varied from hills, mountains, flat lands to the sides of the mountains full of trees. There was not much traffic either which was nice. It was really warm all day, the highest reaching 34’C. The clouds were white and fluffy most of the days, but as it got later they turned to dark rain clouds! We checked into a motel in Hardin, Montana then headed out to supper at the Purple Cow. Now that was some nasty food!! Pat and Al's supper looked good, but ours was really not great. Perhaps this is our first "bad meal" of the trip. The rain came during supper but was finished by the time we had to drive home.There is still some lightening happening out there and the rain comes and goes. When we got back to the room Grant and Al checked the map for our route tomorrow. They seem to be paying more attention to the map lately.....hmmm I wonder why? LOL. I am keeping up with Andrea and Will's blog. It sounds like they are having a great time with Jacob, Dave and Jess in Calgary. We do miss them though!
