St.
Regis, MT
Planned
to make it to Spokane WA however, that left us with over 300 miles for tomorrow
so we stopped for lunch and kept going for another 100 miles and stopped in St.
Regis, MT and we are heading east and have returned through 1 time zone. Washington, Idaho and now just inside the
Montana boarder the landscape has changed from high mountains covered with pine
trees or glaciers to dry, brown hills that resemble the desert to farmland with
fields of potatoes, corn and hay. I have
never seen so much hay; I’m used to seeing people crow enough hay to meet their
needs for their own livestock but out here it is grown as a cash crop and there
are major size brokers who stockpile it.
It must be cherry season too because you see signs and small roadside
stands. Got the kids a box of cherries tonight for their snack before bed. The Super 8 we are in is very nice. Todd has gotten so he comes in every hotel
and checks the room for cleanliness and the beds to make sure there are no
bedbugs. He is pretty good now.
