Monday was one of our longer drives, needing to go about 425 miles to reach Bozeman, Montana. I haven't talked much about the wildfires everywhere and the potential impact upon this trip. The further west we get, the more we wonder what each day will bring. So far we have noticed that most of our days have been hazy and we see very little blue sky. That's sorta sad because we all know a bright blue sky makes everything prettier. The province of British Columbia in Canada has more that 500 active fires burning right now. Many of the fires have been started by lightning, From what I can tell on various sites on the internet, there are 30 fires currently burning in Washington and Oregon. It's difficult to know exactly where they are and if they will be in our path. We also don't want to breathe smoky air in day after day. So we will take this one day at a time and try to make the best decisions we can. We hit rain coming into Bozeman last night and the temperature dropped considerably into the mid 40s! What a difference a couple of days can make. We stopped for some groceries and gas and then made our way to Bozeman Hot Springs and Campground. The wind picked up and we hunkered in for the night. I had two quilts on the bed and slept like a baby! Ha.
Today was a catch-up day for me. Pretty laid back and focused on bringing the blog up to date. Rick went to the hot springs and had a long soak. Nine natural springs ranging from 59 to 106 degrees.
Happy trails.
