8/9-11/15 BACK IN THE U.S. OF A.

Arrived at the US Border about 8:00 AM and had to wait for others to go through ahead of us.  (We weren't the first in line!)  No problems getting thru customs. Once in the lower 48 it was amazing how the road conditions improved.  Yea!  The bouncing and shaking were all but gone.  Montana interstate system felt like we were driving on glass most of the way.

Even the animals came out and welcomed us back to the lower 48 when we crossed the border.

The drive through northern part of Montana was so pretty.  We both would like to come back here and spend some time rafting and fishing some of the rivers in this area.

We stayed just north of Yellowstone National Park at the KOA that is located along the Yellowstone River.  We took the dogs for a walk along the river bank.  When we went to bed at 10 PM we both started giggling because it was finally dark when we went to sleep.  That was the first night of "dark" we had for sleep since we left home.

We are driving about 450 miles a day on our way home.  One of the rest areas we stopped at had a beautiful view.  At one stop when I was walking the dogs, the moho door locked me out and Joe in.  Joe had to dismantle the door lock mechanism and make some adjustments.  The moho is definitely getting a shake down trip.

One of the daily chores that Joe had to do every time we moved from one campsite to another was to unhook all the connections and stow them away in the storage areas in the moho.  He was such a good sport about doing this job while I finished up washing breakfast dishes, putting things away inside the moho, and walking the dogs.  It's been a good trip, but too long of a drive to do again.

2 more nights on the road before we get to our daughter's home in Clarksville, TN. We will rest up a 2 full days in Clarksville, and then be home soon after that.  Looking forward to being home again.
