In Missoula we visited a Smoke Jumping center, here jumpers repack their parachutes. Our 18 year old guide, on the left, is the daughter and niece of jumpers; she is a college freshman but expects to become a firefighter, undecided on jumping.
The colorful gas station is in Deer Lodge, not far from Missoula. There is some nice open country around here, with railroad tracks running parallel. It was strange to look over and see a couple of airplane fuselages go by, passenger windows and all.
The next three pictures are at Louis and Clark Caverns. L&C passed these caverns but are not believed to have seen them. Marcia is shown a couple hundred feet below ground, at a mile-high marker. Everything around here seems to be named after L&C.
Our WBCCI NorCal unit caravan is now over. In the top picture we are at our rally site on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman, with 880 other rigs. Susan, Ed and Marcia are about to head out and explore. Weather is great - so far we've won our bet of paying for 3 amp electricity rather than 30 amp. It means mainly we can't run air conditioning, though we do miss the toaster and microwave.
