Made it to Shelby, MT
Woke up this morning to snow, it has lightly covered the ground, snowing enough to restrict visibility and create more mud, what a mess but we need take the puppies out after which we check weather out on the internet, the snow is suppose to stop by noon, okay we sure hope it does. We proceed with our usual morning routines, the snow is slowing down and we prepare to leave when the snow quits, we do not have much preparation as we did not set up like we intended to stay but taking down the dish in this mess is not fun. While Woody is hooking up the rig, I walk the dogs in an open area trying to stay out of mud as much as possible. I wipe the dogs feet as best I can we all climb in the truck and wonder if we will need 4 x 4 to pull the fifth out of this site there are some pretty good ruts and bumps so we must proceed slowly, well the truck pulled the fifth easily through the mess, but by the time we left the park the fifth was muddy as was the truck, inside and out. The highway was wet but as we headed south, it dried up with all the traffic running on it. We had no trouble at the border at all, the easiest crossing we have ever made a few questions after checking our passports, we were wished a good trip and waived on, it is always a relief to be across the border, we never know what to expect. We arrived at the Lewis & Clark Campground in Shelby, MT late afternoon, after putting some water in our holding tanks as the campground has turned off the water for the season, we set up, the WiFi is not good, loosing the connection regularly, I do manage to stay connected long enough to check weather and I call ahead for reservations at our next stop, get the answering machine so leave a message to call us back. All the sites in this campground are curb side sites and as usual the hook-ups are on the wrong side, so our door faces the road, but the campground is clean, and easy off and on access to I15. We were happy we had stayed at Whispering Spruce Campground an extra day, we saw snow in many areas from the storm. We settle in have some dinner, walk the dogs, and spend some time chatting online with friends. We headed to bed early, looking forward to our continued journey tomorrow.
