Friday, November 1/2013

Thursday, October 31/2013 has strayed out of line.  I think it somehow ended up posting at the end of August so will quickly add it under the November 1/2013 entry.
We crossed into the US of A this morning.   Woo Hoo….they let us in again.  The crossing guard was friendly, loved Hogan and knew exactly where Wickenburg was as he had gone to school in Phoenix.  He checked out both the camper and the trailer, was apparently satisfied with everything and wished us a good trip.
It is windy and chilly so I am thinking that our fuel mileage will not be all that great.  It is Halloween today so we are passing several pretty "scary" looking yards.  It looks like the ghosts and goblins will be having a good time tonight.
We stopped in Great Falls for the night at the same spot we stopped at on our way home last Spring so Hogan has plenty of room to run around and stretch his legs.  Unfortunately, the wind is blowing like crazy and he is not impressed.  On a positive note though…..the phone is still working!!   Woo Hoo!!


On the road again and the highways remain dry and free of any of that nasty white stuff.  The truck continues to run well, and John is pleased with the way the hitch is holding up.  So far, there are no issues.
We stopped for gas before finding a campsite for the night and when John backed away from the pumps he turned too sharp and managed to put a rather nasty looking hole in the front of the new enclosed trailer.  Well…..I guess the gong show has started!!
Although not too impressed with this, he did say it was easily covered by the TV access plate.
We stopped for the night at Glen Fishing Access.  It is situated right beside the Big Hole River.  We found a spot,  got settled in and before too long, a Fish and Game officer stopped by wondering if we were out hunting or fishing.   Apparently, tis the season.  We assured him we were not hunting and had stopped here for only a few nights (there are two football games tomorrow) then are continuing our journey South.  He carried on, wishing us a safe journey.
Hogan enjoyed chasing the ball and was soon ready to have a rest.  I have found another huge lump in his neck (afraid his thyroid cancer has returned) so will have to have him checked out once we hit Wickenburg.  Shit, Oh Dear.
We spent the evening watching Football.
