1,123 Miles, ~20 hours driving (~10 hours each), in 4 Days <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is NOT our “normal” travel habit to move Lizzy<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> even 2 days-in-a-row, let alone 4. Nor do we regularly drive more than 250 miles in a single day, let alone 3 of 4 days in a row. We also rarely stay at Harvest Host1<\/a><\/sup> locations, as they are generally for one night only. We actually stayed at 3 the last 3 nights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Funny Farm Homestead<\/mark><\/strong>, in Cheney, Washington, where we did no shopping, just made a donation, but<\/strong>, we got to visit the bunnies and the 3-day-old piglets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SoJo Norwegian Ranch<\/mark><\/strong>, in Missoula, Montana, where we visited with the golden Labs and did some “grocery” shopping…farm fresh eggs, huckleberry jam, and both beet & cucumber relish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellowstone Cellars and Winery<\/mark><\/strong>, Billings, Montana, where we had Happy Hour dinner on their patio on a pleasant, warm evening. Although Friday is a live music night, we pretty much missed it. That was a 355 mile day, so we had an early night (camped in the parking lot next door). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And why the “Mad Dash”?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To…”kick start” our trip east…gotta make that 50th RPI Reunion!!!<\/mark><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
And today, day 4, we made it to Medora, North Dakota!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been wanting to return here, since we first visited in October 2014. This time, we are “in season” to see Medora, the Musical<\/mark><\/strong> and still have plenty of time to revisit Theodore Roosevelt National Park<\/strong><\/mark>…5 nights! (Note…this is our 43rd state to camp in with Lizzy<\/mark><\/em><\/strong>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
