Today is the perfect example of why Google maps can put you in a bind. Instead of following the map directions on our (RV specific) Garmin unit we followed Google. What was supposed to be a 2-hour drive from West Yellowstone to Lima Montana ended up being three and a half hours including a 20 mi stretch of a muddy, washboard gravel road. We drove this at about 8 to 10 mph, hence the extended duration. Even the cows looked vaguely surprised at our presence, a 30 ft RV towing a Jeep with two bikes on the back. We flagged down a couple of passing vehicles all of them heading to some hunting spot to make sure the road did go somewhere?? One of them looked at us and let us know he wouldn't have brought his RV out here. Never had really good news, like '"oh just another mile". But finally after an extended period of rattling and bumping along we found pavement again. One of God's greatest blessings, paved roads!

Finally arrived in Lima at just about dark. Met Jeff and Dina Young at Johnny Peat's steakhouse. According to Dina it has been voted the best steakhouse in Montana last year. I had a Caesar salad with steak and it was delicious. Tender, flavorful, exactly what you would want. Great end to the day.Les mer
