The goal for Thursday was to get to a point of internet connection so Heather could teach her Zoom Good News Club. We thought it would be Laurel, but didn’t quite get there. We stopped in Columbus, MT. Roger’s hot spot (a new thing for us) worked great for 30 minutes, so we got in ½ the class!!
On the way, we were glad to see gas prices dropping well over 50 cents/gallon. Propane has also shot up, but coming from Washington, every price looks good!
The weather was o.k., with snow covering the ground all around. Roads clear and dry. Traffic minimal. The long coal trains are amazing – you often can’t see the front and back at the same time!
We passed the oldest operating coal mine in the USA – 99 years! There’s enough coal in the Wyodak mine for 50+ years, we read.
Our coldest night was in Billings, MT. We had enough blankets that, with the furnace, were able to keep warm. It snowed in the night, but the next day, the sun shone warm.
