We woke up at 7 AM, early for us! It was still raining.
After breakfast Lyn set about clearing up the inside of the trailer and I went outside to disconnect the hydro and water. Once that was done it was time to hit the road, we had 402 miles in front of us.
The rain continued for a couple of hours, then started to ease up a bit, for much of the time we were literally up in the clouds,
but as we progressed east from Idaho into Montana things improved, the roads dried and the sun made a few appearances.
Then we saw the dreaded “white stuff”!
As we continued east we climbed slowly to cross the Continental divide, we got as high as 6600 ft. before dropping back down for a while.
We stopped close to the top of the divide to go into the trailer and make some lunch, restaurants are a rarity on this route, as is pretty much any other form of civilisation.
About 100 miles from our destination we left the Interstate and picked up a State road, I wasn’t sure what to expect of this road when I planned out the trip, but it was fine. We maintained the same speed on it as we did on the Interstate. We crossed back int Idaho, and also lost an hour as we crossed from the Pacific time zone into the Mountain time zone.
We arrived at the campsite about 4:15, having . The site is yet a gain in the middle of nowhere, but has great views AND WiFi. Unfortunately there is now no cell phone service! The internet is sufficient, but they do threaten to limit its bandwidth if you use it too aggressively. In reality I am surprised we have it at all out here!
