Visiting Helena, Montana

Monday was our moving day to Helena, MT. We drove 320 miles our longest driving day to date. Of course the Chevy did great and made our drive easy. The drive showed us another state, Montana in our journey. The mountains looked smaller on our route and had lots of greenery on them. We also saw more trains along the way than anywhere we have been. We are staying at a nice park called Lincoln RV Park which has nice long pull-thru sites with grass. The weather is not cooperating as it was raining in the morning, which hindered our plans some. We decided to go to the old section of town and brave the rain. It is a nice walking area blocked off to traffic. I am sure there would have been other people if the rain had stayed away. We ate at Windbag Saloon and Grill which has a risque past. It was a bordello, one of the most respected ones in Montana, owned by Big Dorothy who ran it until it was closed in 1973. Hopefully the weather will change and allow us to do some hiking tomorrow.
I did fill up with diesel for $3.99 a gallon, the lowest price since Texas:))
