Settled in our Spot in Helena

Helena, MT   High 86  Low 46

We spent the next night in Shelly, ID at the county park where we always like to stay. Had several storms roll through but most of the worst storm cells seemed to pass on the other side of the interstate.

The next night we spent at Countryside RV Park in Dillon, MT. It’s has nice pull thrus for $35 a night but there is no antenna TV reception. We went to bed early which was just fine.

On Monday we arrived in Helena and got settled into our Spot. My sister had dinner fixed for us and she had also made Jim an appointment with the chiropractor for Tuesday morning.

This is our view from our spot in Helena.

Jim dropped me off at the Laundromat and went to see the doctor. He was really happy with this guy and will see him again on Thursday. I know he is definitely feeling better because he has been out getting his boat ready to go in the water.

Only problem is a cold front is going to move through starting tonight and we are supposed to have rain for the next several days. We are praying that this will help all the firefighters get a better control on the fires burning everywhere. We had pretty clear skies on Monday and Tuesday but the smoke is slowly moving back in. Jim thinks Tuesday will be a bad day for the fish at Canyon Ferry.

We had to get a new prescription for Skittlez – remember her allergies last Spring in AJ? Well, brining her back to the land of grass and trees has made her miserable. She has scratched a big sore on her poor little body and she started throwing up. So glad our Vet in AZ was willing to fax her prescription to a Vet here. Hopefully she can get some relief from itching and we can get some sleep.

  1. Yay!!! You finally made it to Montana before Labor Day! I really hope Jim's chiropractor can give him permanent help. I love the guy I go to and hope I never have to go back to an MD.

  4. Glad to hear Jim has someone he likes for treatment. Having the back go bad is just the worst, it makes everything difficult, and it makes me cranky. Hope the doggo is better soon. Bad allergies, bad!

  6. Looks flat where you are, the mountain in the background is enticing. Maybe that's not a mountain, it could be sky. Growing old ain't for sissys.

  7. Good to hear that you are in Helena and all set up. Hopefully the weather will improve and Jim can get some fishing in. Hope Skittlez is feeling better now with the new prescription.

  11. It's good to hear you're all the way out of Arizona and parked where you hoped to be last June. Jim's desire to get out in the boat is a good thing. Perhaps, those sick days are behind him too. Scratch Skittlez behind her ears from us. We know allergies are no fun.

  12. Dang! if it isn't one of you it's another. Hope Skittlez feels better soon. And I hope Jim soon gets to do some fishing--maybe even catching. And you get to sleep and recover from all these stresses.

  16. Hm...was wondering why you turned north at the end of summer. Pretty soon it's getting cold in good old Montana. Frost can occur any time now.
