Ft Burford

Yesterday we went to see the confluence of the Yellowstone & Missouri Rivers, we walked through Ft. Burford & looked for a railroad bridge over the Yellowstone that had a section in it that raised straight up to let the steam boats through, it was never used except in the test to see if it would work???  We did find it, we walked through  Ft. Burford & came back to Williston then we went to the car races on a dirt track but it got rained out :( our money was refunded so we went to Larry's favortite Pizza place & the pizza & salad was really good.  There was a cloud burst maybe 2 in. in abut 20 min., when we got home it hadn't rained as much here so our tent trailer was dry. 
This morning we went to Watford City & had breakfast then on to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park & drove through it, saw one buffalo & no big horn sheep but some real pretty & different country, the bad lands of ND.  We drove through Killdeer, on to New Town & back to Williston, another really good day.  God IS good.

486 very hot miles!

We made it to Williston last last night, we went 486 very hot miles, we were glad to make it safe & sound, another answer to prayer.  God IS good.  Larry worked last night, they are working right now at night because there is road construction & at night there isn't traffic.  Don went with Larry on a couple of runs & I went with his friend, Darren & it was fun.  The run takes about 1 1/2 hours so is close to where Larry & Darren live.  Today we are going sight seeing.

North Dakota

We left Hailey yesterday morning, went by Carey to see the job that Troy is working on, it is for the school & this job is cement & paving, only one or two buildings they are building so a different kind of a job for Troy.  We ate breakfast in Arco & started on north, if you are ever in Dillon, MT at lunch time the Milk Pail, sure that is the name of the place, has a really big, good sandwich for 5 bucks!!  We made it to Bozeman last night, stayed at a really nice campground & are ready to go on to Williston today, think it is 468 miles so we need to get on the road.  The temp never got higher then 92 so some cooler then home.

We are headed to North Dakota to see Larry, we left yesterday & it was really hot before we got to Mt. Home, we made it to Hailey in fine shape to see Troy & Emily.  They are buying their first home & we are so excited for them, at least they are not 60 years old like Troy's parents. :)  Today we are headed north, it is a beautiful day & we praise God for ALL His  blessings.  We have 4 wonderful children & families, God IS good.
