Lewis and Clark Caverns, MT – Friday May 20, 2016

We go up and were on the road by 7:00 a.m.  360 miles but several stops which didn’t get us to camp until 7:10 p.m.  Walmart and lunch stop took two hours because we could not find anything in the store.  The store had a very unique floor plan and they were out many items, i.e. 1157 tail light bulbs.  Getting checked out was also a major under taking.  We wanted to use our own reuse able bags and the cashier did not like that idea but did it anyway, very slowly. I then got in trouble for putting the two loaves of bread on the checkout belt first and for getting an extension cord which did not have a pricing barcode on it. Oh, by the way the store didn’t have many cashiers working for Friday afternoon. 

Next stop was propane.  I had done an Internet and Google earth search for propane and found two possible places in Missoula. One didn’t have any propane now and other one had the tank in a location where I could not get close too.  We started looking for another option. Richard found one however the person at work did not know how to operate the equipment. I found a place on Deer Lodge an hour east of Missoula note it is currently 3:30.  He said he closes at 4:30 but he’d be more than happy to wait for us.  We got moving and arrived at the propane place at 4:37.  We had to unhook our cars to get close enough to the propane and we were not out of his yard until after 5:00.  A really nice guy running a local business.
