Day 93 – 2014-08-20, Wednesday – Missoula, MT to Salmon, ID

Travel day today … it’s supposed to rain – yay. We knew it, though, so last night we put everything inside the trailer. To say it was a little crowded would be an understatement!

Anyway, woke up to – NO POWER. And no water. Evidently the two are connected here. Back home, water is kept in towers, so no power, you still have water. Not here! BUT – that’s why I keep water on board, no problem, just turn on the pump! And it worked great! Until it ran out, but luckily as the last dish was getting rinsed. Great timing! So, off to buy breakfast here at the KoA – they have a good one, and quite reasonable, so it was a no-brainer. Power came back on, got everything tucked in, and off we go – back to Salmon, though for the first time this trip. The bad news? It’s supposed to rain the whole time we’re there. Bummer.

Get in just minutes after high noon, the RV park manager is out, but we have a slot number, so we get parked. No KoAs nearby, so it’s an independent. Almost half the price of a KoA, but no pool – ok, we never use that particular amenity, so … what’s the downside, again? Full hook-ups and WiFi, what else do you need? Oh, and less than a mile to the bike shop/pizza place (that has great beer!), and only a quarter mile from there to a brewery … again – what’s the downside? Oh, yeah – rain. It’s gonna suck. But we’ll survive!
