Date line Butte, MT: cloudy with rain and snow, 34 degrees

Yesterday was a great day with Bob and Elaine. We went to the dinosaur museum and took a great tour. Bob and Elaine were great hosts and we took off this morning for Butte. We were on the road at 08:30 this morning and had good driving weather most of the way.

Aggie and I are still dieting but as you see by the picture she may need to back off it for a while.

We Stopped at Billings to have lunch with Candy which is Bob and Elaine's daughter. Aggie had not seen her since she was about 5 years old, needless to say it was an emotional reunion. This was the first time I had met her and found her to be a very nice young lady with a great sense of humor.

Every time we stop and have a bite to eat I expect to see Cindy or Ba, but then I realize I am not at Sir Hobo's. I can only hope that they are staying busy otherwise Pete will be having them fill the half and half containers with a syringe.

After leaving Billings we were on the road to Butte. Just west of Billings we began to see a beautiful mountain range. We ran into rain for about half the trip and then it began to snow in the higher elevations approaching Butte.

We are now in Butte and will leave tomorrow right after we attend Mass at St. Ann's church. Every day as we leave on our journey Aggie reads a passage to me from her daily devotional book and we pray for safe passage.

Tomorrow we hope to reach the Air Force Base next to Spokane WA.

That's all for now,

over and out
