This is how we started out our new RV life. Steak and corn.
Since we were going to travel the Nation, I decided to make shirts for our trip.
Our first stop in Hamilton, MT. A great RV Park that is right next to the Bitter Root River. Be sure you call Angler's Roost to book your spot if your traveling through on I-90. (406) 363-1268
When we were in Virginia City, MT, we went to a Baptists Cowboy Church. They sang out of Hymnals.
The guy with the gun on his hip is the pastor.
Not a big fan of singing out of hymnals but this wasn't too bad. The problem for me is they are usually done too slow. I have no problem when they are sped up and we can clap our hands.
During the summer they meet in this tent between Nevada City and Virginia City, MT.
Virginia City, MT, was a beautiful place to visit.
The old Time candy shop was one of my favorites there.
This was a tour truck. This fire truck took us around the town, and the guide gave us some history. Loved it.

We got snow in Virginia City, MT.
We rode on a stagecoach around town. It was bumpy and fun. According to the operators, this was a restored stagecoach from the 1800s.
To ride for days would have been brutal. Most of the time, these would carry eight in the coach and three passengers on top.
If you were traveling from Missouri to San Francisco in the mid-1800s, you would pay $200 a seat plus $1 for meals. So, 11 people would make over $2000 per trip to the Stagecoach company. $2000 in 1850 is like $82,000 today.
After Montana, we dropped down into Cody, WY.
I had planned on holding 10-minute church services every Sunday, and no one attended. One couple even said they would come, but they wanted to go to the Rodeo instead. I guess people have their priorities.
This Bull snake had already eaten and was enjoying an afternoon walk. I heard later someone had killed it. It's too bad because they are good at keeping out Rattle Snakes.
We spent the 4th of July in Casper, WY.
Took in yet another museum in Casper, WY
What a neat experience.
