The Dreaded "S"-word
We drove a little over 300 miles today, Tuesday. Ended up in a Walmart parking lot for the night in Havre, MT. Being the tightwad I am, it's just so hard for me to have to pay someone $20 or $30 bucks for camping when all we need is a place to park and sleep for the night. And we sleep very well in our self-contained camper... even in the middle of a big parking lot. Tomorrow we'd like to make it to the west side of Glacier National Park. We've been really looking forward to seeing Glacier again... it's been 30 years or so. But... lookout... here's the latest from the Weather Service for Montana.... =================== Winter Weather Advisory URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT 241 PM MDT TUE AUG 31 2010 ...COLD AND MOIST SYSTEM MOVING INTO NORTHWEST MONTANA TONIGHT... .A STRONG JET WILL BRING PLENTY OF MOISTURE STREAMING INTO NORTHWEST MONTANA TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
