Time to move on

Our time here at Riverfront RV Park is coming to an end.  We have met many people and made many friends!  The owner, Sharon, and her helpers are so, so, friendly, and we are thankful to have passed through here.  This is the first  place we've visited that we hope to return to next year, and stay for a month or so.  Simple, beautiful, friendly, and even has a Church on the grounds.  We've been here for 2 and 1/2 weeks and don't really want to leave, but feel called to move on to our next destination.  We have been very blessed!

We went out on a limb for my birthday, to see the "cribbage capital of the world" in Nelson, Montana!  There were two buildings, one with ten mailboxes in front of it and the other with none!  I'm not sure how this "town" acquired the distinction of being renowned for much of anything, but hey, the sign says differently.

We started up a gravel road that led to a trailhead we wanted to explore.  I'll tell you that we accumulated a pound or so, of dust and dirt, that took a good amount of time to remove from within the back of the truck. 13 miles in and 13 miles out!

I followed my tour guide through thick and thin, and she led me to many wonderful places!

We had to take a few breaks for water and rest.

Ponderosa pines are pretty cool!

All in all, it was the best birthday I could hope for!  We even met some fellow "Casitans" on their first trip out with their new trailer!  Cool beans!!!!  We were also able to get some solar equipment to prepare us for "off the grid" camping that we'll soon encounter.  Wish us luck!  :)
