Day 95 Ends in Rocker, MT

I did say that today would be a slightly shorter driving day. And it was … just 298 miles.

It was another uneventful day on the road with just a few stops. Unfortunately there was heavy smoke haze from the wildfires and it veiled the scenery. On the upside … it was a much cooler day. In fact, as I write this, the temp is only 68F and we are being buffeted by strong winds … which will hopefully clear the smoke a bit here in Rocker … west of Butte.

We lost an hour when we entered Montana and are now on Mountain DST … that means no more time zone changes for us. It was around 3:00p when we pulled into the 2 Bar Lazy H Campground. There is nothing exceptional about this place, but it is conveniently just off I-15 where it junctions with I-90. The sites are all gravel … the grass is dry in every direction. We’re in the middle section, which has the 50A FHU pull through site. Every once in a while there is a strong whiff of “Eau de 🐄” … we can live with that.

Tomorrow we will be entering Idaho.Read more
