Day 22

Day twenty-two, July 30, 2011

It was quite the drive from Seattle to Missoula, Montana.  Rob and I took turns driving and napping.  The drive was pretty quiet and very uneventful aside from our competitions to see who could name all of the teams in the NHL, MLB, and NFL.   Other than that the only thing we did was look at the amazing scenery around us.  Montana, surprisingly, is an absolutely gorgeous state!

As soon as we arrived to the campsite I knew that this site was much more appropriate for me, as compared to our deserted site in The Redwood Forest.   Number one, the site was plopped right smack in the middle of a large populated town.  Number two, immediately under the welcome sign for the site was a sign that said FREE WiFi!!!! I was ecstatic. Then when we walked into the office to check in it got even better.  There was a pool open until 10:30, free mini- golf, bathrooms and showers, an ice cream social, shops, and fire wood.  We set up our tent and immediately connected to the Internet.  I sat at the picnic table and caught up on the Bachelorette (I hope she picks JP!) while Rob sat on a lawn chair we purchased from Walmart and watched The Fringe.  I-Pads, MACs, and smartphones in hand we looked like quite the campers!  But it was a beautiful night and we have not had much down time so this was perfect.  A couple hours later, our neighbors began to cook over campfires and light up grills, this was our cue to eat as well.  However, instead of cooking we jumped into the car and drove to an Italian restaurant and bar.  The sangria was amazing and I was a little disappointed when our food came out so quickly because I would have loved one or six more glasses!  We packed up our leftovers headed back to the campsite where we jumped right back onto the computers and continued to catch up on shows and sports news!  So far the first out of three straight nights of camping has gone pretty smoothly.  Yellowstone National Park tomorrow! Peace, love, and happiness, the Nomads.
