It will be a short day of travel today as Laurel, Montana is not too terribly far from Cody, Wyoming.
The ride was uneventful and I was able to do some final Walmart shopping before we settled into the Riverside Campground in Laurel.
This campground is one of our favorites as the grass is always green and the birds are always singing. Today we were blessed to see a few osprey flying above the Yellowstone River. Apparently they are a common sight around here. They are huge birds and were awesome to see.
The weather looked threatening but we did manage to sit in the sunshine for a short while.
This park is a favorite spot for the town folk to walk their dogs and we met one fellow by the name of Ron Bailey who walks his two dogs Jenny and Chief daily. He was familiar with Saskatchewan as he had made several fishing trips up to our Northern lakes. He was interesting to listen to and Booko got to stretch his muscles running around like a fool with Chief. Jenny, well she wasn't having anything to do with his nonsense!!
John got the campfire in a can out and we sat around it until the wind came up and the rain came in. It remained rainy and windy for the rest of the evening and while John was able to get the potatoes cooked on the bbq, the ribs were done in the oven.
We played cribbage while the ribs cooked and of course I lost the best out of three so decided to play the best out of three in rummy and I lost that too!! The card Gods were definitely NOT with me tonight.
The Oilers won their opening game of hockey tonight and John was happy.
It was time to get the bed made and go to sleep. It has been a good day but the weather for the upcoming week is looking rather bleak. Snow and Rain....... Yuck
Good thing Spring is on its way!! Life is Good!!
