Campground Hopping

Otis snuggling with his dad. We were able to sit outside
before dinner but afterward the horrid smell started and
was there when we left - gross.
NEVER stay at the Provo, Utah KOA.We gave it a 1 for our review and that was being generous. The staff at the front counter acted like they were bored with us; no one was going around to make sure there wasn't garbage all over; something god-awful smelled like it had died there and then been covered with chemicals; and neither the wifi nor my phone's hotspot worked.  Sucks to be us - lol! Luckily it was only for one night.

Last night we stayed at the Pocatello, Idaho KOA and it was a sweet little place. Quiet and lots of trees. They even had soft-serve ice cream which we all enjoyed after dinner.  Met some folks from Florida in an RV bigger than ours! He had just retired and they spend about 5 months out of the year just traveling.  That's what we want to do once Mya graduates. We've seen so many beautiful places and think, "Oh, I could live here" and I guess we can temporarily. Just go back to the places we like the most and keep out of the heat!

Hwy 15 through Montana. Saw some old snow
 up on some of the mountains.  
We drove about 280 miles today and crossed the continental divide twice. We are currently sitting in Deer Lodge, Montana. Deer Lodge is another quaint little town. I think we will go exploring after dinner tonight. We passed an old prison on the way in here that looked like a castle with rounded towers on each end. Not sure how old it is but we'll have a look. Our spot is right along the Clark Fork River and from the looks of it, they've had quite a bit of rain.  It's way up it's banks and really muddy.  I didn't realize the banks dropped off and Otis nearly went on a raft trip -minus the raft. Oops!

Tomorrow we head into Spokane for two days to visit my niece. Looking forward to staying put for 2 days. After that it's into Canada and more campground hopping.
