On Friday we loaded the 41 Dodge onto a car trailer, loaded two truckbeds with as much "small" shop machines and tools as they could hold, then early Saturday morning we left in the two pickup trucks, heading to Darby, Montana. The smoke filled the skies from Spokane, Washington all the way into Montana, making it hard to breathe...Especially for JW and his Asthma. Add in the plowing of the harvested wheat fields causing dust across the freeway that blocked out the sun in several places, and it was a long trip. The smoke is from the nations largest forest fire located in central Montana. We were very happy to finally arrive in Darby. Total miles traveled on Saturday...500.
Then I left Darby to return to Cashmere early Sunday morning. Nice trip...Clear skies...Great weather...Light traffic. Total miles...Another 520. (I took a few detours to stop at a few statuairy stores that I found along the way!)
Monday morning...Headed to Seattle to help my son with a project...Returned to Cashmere late afternoon..Total miles...270.
Total miles covered in 3 days....1,290!!!
Today...Tuesday...I don't believe I will even leave the house. I am SOOOOO tired!!!!! The picture I have posted was taken while driving down the freeway heading towards Missoula, Montana. It appears to be a typical scene in the state of Montana. Please note what it says on his license plate!!! If it's difficult to read I beleive it states.."IGOTELK" This seems to be a way of life in this big state.
The picture of our trucks was taken at one of the many rest stops along the freeway. Coffee and cookies...awesome!!
