From Cody, WY

The weather forecast for today was cool, breezy, 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms, so we just took a ride up to Billings, MT so MMG could get a "big city" fix.

The ride up to Billings on north WY 120, MT 72, US 310, US 212 and I-90 was fairly quick on good roads through wide open spaces with some mountains to the west and the company of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River for much of the ride.

After several weeks of shopping deprivation, we had a fun day getting back in practice by visiting a Costco, Best Buy, Coldwater Creek, Kohl's, Pierce RV Superstore, and, because my low grease light was flickering, an Arby's for lunch.

Ever since the Hop, Skip and Jump Rally, MMG has been suffering from a case of "campfire chair envy". Fixed that today. MMG's new chair, pictures below, has an aluminum frame, attached pop up side table on the right side, a set of various pockets for "stuff" on the left side, is very stable and she can get up out of it unassisted -- unlike our current "bucket seat" folding canvas chairs. Notice the latest in camo colors.......



The trip home was uneventful. No wildlife other than a couple of Ospreys and Blue Herons.

As I'm typing this the temp is about 42 with a breeze of about 15 MPH out of the northwest and a mist in the air. Our forecast for tomorrow is ".....Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. North wind between 9 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%...", but there's a lot to do in and around Cody, so we'll be getting out in it.

Love to all.

MMG and DDG
