Surprising Discoveries, Unexpected Joys

RV life affords grand adventures like our time in Glacier, but also offers opportunities for discovery. Since leaving Glacier, we’ve enjoyed a series of smaller wonders.

Before I continue, Skip wanted me to convey two important facts about our trip. First, he whomped me playing gin a couple of nights ago. 226 to 22. Ouch. More noteably, we’ve passed by 37 Dairy Queens on this trip and have partaken of none, striving to reduce our sugar and carb intake. We’re rather proud of that fact.

Now onto our discoveries. The photo captions and short explanations will tell the story.

We visited a SOWER project south of St. Ignatius. The Pinehaven Christian Ranch was deeply inspiring to us! We hope to serve there in the future.

We moved on to Helena next. We’ve decided that we should try to visit the capitol buildings of the states we visit when feasible.

We pressed on, pointing our rig towards home. We stayed in a vast wheat field at a Harvest Host in aptly named Wheatland, Montana.

Finally, we are currently in the town of Garryowen in the southeast corner of Montana. In 2010, its population was recorded as two. We knew today was going to be a bad-weather day, so when we arrived yesterday, we headed to the Little Bighorn Battlefied National Monument just a few miles north. It was sobering to see the gravemarkers and to revisit the history of Custer’s Last Stand.

We are tucked in our rig today, with 40 mph winds whipping around us. It’s rather unsettling. Thankfully, we’ll be home in just five more days. We’ll be all the more grateful for our concrete foundation, solid framing and a bit more space.

We’ve loved our adventures and small discoveries, but we confess, we’re eager to return to our home, neighborhood, friends and Wooddale community.

Thank you for coming along for the ride! We hope you’ve experienced—albeit vicariously—joy in the journey.
