Over the Pass

Dillon, MT  High 37  Low 35

This journey out of Montana brings back memories of when we first started full timing. I retired the third of January and we took off on January 22, 2009 ahead of a winter storm. I was still in a wheelchair from a broken ankle and ruptured Achilles tendon.

This was our rig back then. All 72 feet of us.

Back in 2009 we only went as far as Bozeman, MT that first day and since it was so cold we spent the night in a hotel room. We have since learned how to cope (sort of) with the cold and stay in our Bungalow.

This is the road outside of Dillon back in 2009.

These are the pictures I took today when we left Dillon.

Gypsy – these pictures are for you. Enjoy.

And this is what the other side of Monida Pass looked like this morning as we came into Idaho.

We are settled for the night at North Bingham County RV Park near Shelley, ID. The sun is shining and it is 44 degrees which feels wonderful.

  3. The snow is pretty to look at but I don't want to be in it. It's a good thing you're heading south.
