Crossed Over

2-Nov-10
Greetings Dear Reader from Dillon, MT.!! So I guess it is officially vacation time! LOL I know some of you may kill me for that comment, but I welcome your arrival! The more the merrier I say!
Since we last spoke some changes came about. We aren't headed to Oregon as we were expecting. Turns out they couldn’t get us in until the end of January! Well that just wasn't a viable option for us. Gary talked with a person from Keystone and explained all that was going on with the rig and told her we would get back to her with a more reasonable date for us to come in. He took some time and went over where the issues were, did some measuring and with his expertise and wisdom realized its not as critical as we thought. It does need to be repaired but we aren’t going to blow apart or anything! So we hit the road from Kelowna to Creston for a couple days.

We wanted to spend some time here to look at some lots that were for sale there. After driving on the Crowsnest hiway though...*NOTE TO HIWAY BUILDER GUYS!!! 2 words GUARD RAILS!!!!* OMFG the road was fun *puke*. some snowy, icy and foggy patches added to the glorious unprotected curves that tumble hundreds of feet to the snowy trees... I was so happy when we dropped down to some normal levels with normal plunges of a few feet IF you managed to hop the GUARD RAILS. So ya, not sure if that’s a road we want to drive every year! So we will continue to look at lots maybe Saskatchewan isn’t so bad after all! LOL at least they have good fishing *wink*
After spending a couple days in Creston we decided to hit the road and cross the border. Our grand intentions were to get up early for the long haul to Dillon, MT. Well, hehe, I guess you know us right Dear Reader? We managed to get to the border just after 10 pst. Which meant out 7 ½ hr drive wouldn’t get us here til about 8pm mst!! The border crossing was quick, I was first in line and Gary was first in the oversized lane. Lol there was only 1 other person at the border. After they peeked in the fridge and told me my pomegranates were acceptable we were on our way. Beautiful drive but loooong. And soon it was later than we wanted it to be. So much for our rule of never driving at night again! At least we know this route and knew where the park we wanted is. I think that made it easier to manage. So we found ourselves back at Southside RV park! We decided rather than try to another long day we are spending 2 nights here and will (I swear) get up early for our haul to Fillmore, Utah. I plan on buying my rum here in Dillon since I do not trust Utah to have any!!
We also finally signed up for Skype, our name is judyandgarym so look for us there! Easier there than anywhere as we are only taking texts on the phones while we are down here. Barring any tragedy with you Dear Reader, our phones are off.. Emails, texts, facebook notes are the best way to get in touch!!
And now your as up to date as I am Dear Reader! Loving and missing you as always!
