Tuesday:

Most of day Cross South Dakota, does it ever end?

Evening Sleep in Garryowen, Montana at closed RV park parking lot, free but no hookups, again

Wednesday:

Mid day Pit stop at the continental divide near Butte, Montana, Jake plays in the snow, I chat it up with father and son pair of pheasant hunters who're on their way home
Afternoon Arrive Missoula, Montana and an RV park with full hookups, showers, and Internet

Jake and I covered 1,800 miles in 2.5 days.

Tuesday was the longest with over 750 miles driven. We're staying in Missoula for two nights before the final 220 miles to Lewiston, Idaho.
