Clark Fork – I continued to drive along the beautiful Clark Fork of the Yellowstone River most of the way to Missoula. Pretty drive. Gorgeous day. It’s in the mid-80s!!!! I love this part of the country. As my friend Marge says, where you are born isn't necessarily where you are meant to be. I was meant to be in the mountains. This part of the country feels like "home" to me.
Missoula - I made an appointment to get my oil changed when I was in Missoula, and did that. (It cost me more here than it has cost me anywhere else in the country! Next time I will pick a different town.) I drove away from my RV site without unhooking my electric cord this morning. I don't know what I was thinking!! Well, I wasn't thinking, obviously. To make a long story short, I was able to find an RV repair place that was willing to fix it right away, was lucky that the damage was only minor, and was able to get on the road again by late afternoon. Whew! That's the second time I've done that (in six years). Obviously, I need some kind of system that reminds me to unhook before I drive away. Maybe I'll tie a towel on my steering wheel or something.
Salmon - The drive from Missoula to Salmon, over Lolo Pass, and another pass, alongside the Bitterroot Mountains, through the Salmon River Valley, is another scenic drive. In late afternoon, the sun turned everything golden.
A gorgeous day, a glorious drive. It's great to see Marcia, and it feels good to be back in Salmon.
