Keep em coming folks. I have been flying all through the mountains (GE)looking at different locations. I think the 12 rte is calling.

Grady, I believe you will be an important contact/lifeline for this trip. I would love to hook-up during our time there. Set a spell, sip a few, you know the drill.

I have serious problems with Wal-mart, (wow, even my fingers feel dirty after typing the name), and will use their "services" only after my charm and charisma exhaust all other options.
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

That, Stephan, is an amazing stretch of road. I'd recommend taking it on the way back as it's pretty much all downhill from Montana to Lewiston. (Gotta remember what it's like for the poor sucker stuck behind the Gypsie Wagon on an incline. :joker: )

Heading out Saturday for this adventure. Wagon is running primo. Most of the gear is already packed. Food and clothes is all that's left.

First day I am hoping to get to Clearwater NF either the first night or Sunday Morning. May have to bed down before if the family gets road weary. Looking to find Wier or Jerry Johnson Hot springs.

Scheduled to be at Lolo Hot springs Monday and Tuesday. (resort life makes the ladies happy).

Wed and Thursday Missoula

Friday Alberton B&B with fireworks and small town 4th of July celebratin'.

Saturday head Portland way over I90.

whc03grady I would love some contact information so we can try to hook up.

You also mentioned some cool stuff (free and other) Spraytown?

She's all packed up and ready to go. Gonna try to get an early start but I have the night-before-tremble. Found a place for everything and still kept a nice open area in the passenger area for stops and such.

Just sent Mitch a PM to get a number for when we hit missoula. Hope we catch up.

See you when I get back.

Sorry Gypsie, it looks like I didn't see this or your PM until you'd already left. I got your cell# and will definitely call you. I've got all Wednesday off and we'd be happy to do whatever.
