Cleaning Up

When camping in a tent, in a primitive campground, (read: no showers), you really appreciate the facility we found today in Gardner, Montana. It was a super clean, modern coin laundry with deluxe coin operated showers! For a large fist full of quarters we cleaned all our clothes and while they washed, Theresa and I jumped into the handicapped shower, which was big enough for two. ;-)

Fresh as daises, we loaded the dryers and went out for a beer and pizza. On the corner we found the K-BAR, a saloon right in character with it's wild west location. My favorite feature of the bar was the local beverage, Moose Drool Brown Ale. The pizza was good too, just like you'd expect in the wild west.

We took our clean selves and our clean clothes back to the primitive campground to find a thunder storm had turned it to a muddy pit. We retired to Bob's RV to surf the web and watch TV for the rest of the evening. I hope it dries out by morning when we go to Cody, Wyoming.

This morning when we got out of our tent we found three elk eating grass and leaves from the lower branches. I saw one of the campers holding a handful of grass for a large elk to eat. I grabbed my camera expecting the elk to toss this guy onto the roof of an RV or maybe into a tree only to find these were lady elk and acted so. I was happy there was no carnage but the blog might have been more interesting if they were male elk.
