June 22, 2015---Medora, ND. to Sam’s Club, Billings, Montana


This morning, at 8:00, we left the campground.  I wasn’t feeling well, so most of our departure was up to Bill.  After stopping at a Rest Area to eat our breakfast, I went back to bed and slept for an hour or two.  For lunch I had cheese and crackers.  My stomach tolerated it OK.

Before leaving Roosevelt Park, we saw a huge buffalo enjoying his fresh green breakfast.  He was all by himself as far as we could tell.  We certainly haven’t seen the herds of buffalo that we saw several years ago when we were here.  The big guy we saw this morning was very near the Prairie Dog Town.  Maybe they keep him from getting too lonely.

After getting on I-90, it wasn’t too long before we greeted Montana.  We drove past miles and miles of ranch land.  It was very pretty.  When we got to farm land, it was green and pretty, also.  We went through pine tree forests...impressive.  The variety of landscape made the trip enjoyable.

We found Sam’s Club, filled the coach with diesel and parked for the day.  This was a long day of driving for Bill.  We went into Sam’s and shared a piece of pizza.  Each of us started a cup of ice cream, but put most of it in the freezer.

After a quick trip to Walmart, we went in search of a cache.  It was well hidden, but we found it quickly.  We weren’t so lucky on the second one.  We were soon back at the MH and settled in for the night.

Today’s Travel Totals:  miles traveled, 291---geocaches found, 1---critter sightings, 1 buffalo and a whole bunch of prairie dogs.
