Left Mt. Rushmore area this morning and headed for Billings, MT. During the night, we managed to live through gale force winds - and, we're thrilled to say - the camper held up perfectly.
This morning brought sunshine. It was cool, but certainly not as cold as yesterday and the day before. Sky stayed clear nearly all day - such a nice break! The rough wind has taken its toll on Laura's shoulder - a trip to the bone doc to address this bursitis will be in order when we get home. (Dear God, how old do I sound??)
Jack and I have not simply been driving along biding our time. No, no! We have solved America's (if not the world's) energy problem. If the government (or some forward-thinking mega millionaire) would erect about 10,000 windmills and cover 10% of Montana's vacant land with solar farms, we would be set forever. Seriously. It's not like all of that ground is being used for anything else! A few cows, a random antelope...
We've actually landed in (believe it or not) Roundup, Montana, about an hour north of Billings. We're headed for Glacier tomorrow unless we find out that most of Monday's snow is still on the ground. In that case, we may head straight for Idaho.
