Day 52 - Missoula, MT

Today was an uneventful day. No problems getting the trailer ready and on the road. The drive was pretty nice as we are climbing higher and the country-side is getting more dramatic.

We got to Missoula and started following the GPS directions to the campground. At 3:00pm in the afternoon we were in the worst traffic of our trip. I couldn't figure out if everyone started work at 6:00am and were getting off work or if no one had a job? We got a little further down the road and the directions had us going behind a series of big box stores (TJ Max, etc.) and at that point I started wondering if I really investigated this campground or not. Well we are directly behind the aforementioned stores but they do a pretty good job of camouflaging everything so you don't really know you are in the middle of a busy city.  Missoula is home to the University of Montana.  It definitely has the feel of a college town.

After setting up we sent the boys off to the pool, while Cathy and I went in search of a CVS pharmacy. Greg needed his prescription updated. We got the prescription filled and then we headed over to a RV / Marine store to check out the pontoon boats. Yeah, we still have an infatuation with them! The good news is that we really didn't like the ones we saw.

After that it was back to the campground and dinner. After dinner Cathy and the boys headed off to play miniature golf while I finished washing the dishes. I headed over and got in 9 with the boys. When we were leaving we saw a man walking his cat on a leash. Cool but funny at the same time. Cathy went over to see how he went about getting the cat comfortable on a leash as we'd like to do the same with Rio. We'll have to give it a go at some point. Speaking of Rio, he seems to be a bit under the weather. We put flea/tick topical medicine on him last night and the little sucker is very flexible as he has been licking it off from between his shoulder blades! Little twerp!

Tomorrow we head up the Glacier NP. Looking forward to that as we have only heard great things. We'll be there for 3 days, which should give us enough time to check things out.
