And They're Off!

We left the Innisfail acreage at 7 a.m. on Sunday, January 3rd and this is how it looked going down the Number One at sunrise.



After crossing at Coutts and covering much of Montana, this is the sunset we observed off S I-15 approaching Butte, Montana.



There wasn't much evidence of winter. Even tho it said "Watch for Ice on Bridge" we didn't have to, because there was no ice and very little snow. Lots of cattle when the landscape allowed it. They sure do like their Angus, don't they? And we saw one Texas longhorn!
We stopped at Dillon when it became too dark to comfortably travel, grabbing a room at the Super 8 where the wifi was down and so I could not post anything. The next morning, the complimentary breakfast was attended by several couples, all on their way to Phoenix for the winter. Who knew??
We ended this the second day a bit early, when it became apparent we needed two new rear shocks on the truck. And so this night finds us in Wells Nevada along I-93. Internet connection this time.
Other tidbits of info:
The Exxon at Idaho Falls does not have a diesel pump. So if you want to support your former employer by buying fuel at their place, don't go here. In fact, don't ever ever go to an Esso station again!! Will I get into trouble for saying that? Because I don't really mean it, I just mean that when you are placing your hope & trust in someone or something and they fail you, well you feel unkindly disposed towards them.
Oh I forgot. Here in Wells there's a brothel, and ladies come up town every once in awhile in an attempt to extend a friendly invitation to gentlemen who might enjoy their company, according to one fellow at the service station who seemed quite delighted to share this tidbit with us.
Neither of us pursued this blurb of information.
The food is quite dreadful. So much grease and white flour, and fries with everything.
