| Hail and rainbows in MT! Claire was fascinated by hail. |
Long day of driving on the 21st. Montana is beautiful but we are feeling the push to wrap up the driving. The kids were in the car for over 10 hours yesterday. Neil talks more each day. He saw a truck with two dogs in it and yelled out “two dog truck!”.
We drove and then drove again and again through a hail storm in MT. Stopping along the side of the road and waiting till it passed only to keep catching up to the storm again. The hail was over an inch deep in spots. We finally arrived in Gillette, WY at 8pm. Paul ventured out to visit the local meadery.
On our final day we finished listening to Steinbeck’s, 'Travel’s with Charley: in Search of America'. For some reason, I just enjoy this His portrayal and discussion of America is enlightening. Even is some of the book is fiction—his gift for looking at our society and seeing it at the cusp of change is very relevant to today.
We stopped near the town of Philip—were my grandmother grew up and had a picnic lunch at the local schoolhouse.
We were not able to find the train depot in Philip but it was nice to tour the town—next stop Nina’s!
