Butte, Montana

Got the coach serviced.  Paw Paw said the oil was like sludge and the oil filter was so clogged from all the Alaska and Canada road dust that he is glad we were able to get this service work done.  Back on the road by noon and are at the Butte KOA.  Tomorrow we will go to Twin Bridges to tour the Winston Fly Rod company and then on to Jackson Hole Wyoming.  We are so close that we could not drive by it and the Gun Barrel Restaurant is calling.  We have not found a good restaurant for wild game yet.  Not only that, but the Pendleton and Coldwater Creek shops are calling me.  We will be staying at the Virginian RV park in Jackson Hole for 2 nights.  Twice at the Gun Barrel??!! Who Knows!!!!!  Then we will drive through the Tetons and Yellowstone on to Buffalo Wyoming to hopefully tour the Wool mill.   I now have great internet service, either by RV park or with my Verizon Air card.  YEA!!!  Pass a message on to young Red -  I am anxious to know how the new band director is ( go with an open mind) and that you made the cut for the band.  Have a great start of the college year and tell Your young lady friend that we look forward to seeing you both as soon as we return to North Carolina.  Glad GJ95 enjoyed his primitive hiking trip.  Will have to get the family together for a trip into the back country.  (That ought to be interesting)  Will post tomorrow evening and hopefully have pictures of how bamboo rods are made at the Windston Rod company.  Am assuming that the new Design Engineer is enjoying his new post and the little ones are ready for school.  Love ya'll.
