Columbus, MT

Mountain View RV Park

We were on the road between Merrill and Torrington Junction, NE and drove through fog with a visibility of about 100 feet and 67 degrees.  We sighted a Casita in the east bound lane around Douglas, WY.  There have been three Casitas so far that we have seen on this trip.  We stopped for lunch at a pull-out with four semi-trucks.  The wind was blowing and really rocked the camper.  The wind blew Hardy's hat off so goes the saying "Hang onto your hat".  We stopped for ice cream in Buffalo and there was a big grass fire outside of town along I90 toward Gillette.  They said it was from lightening the day before. There was another huge fire outside Sheridan, WY and another east of Billings as we were coming through. We were going to camp at the Riverside Park in Laurel, MT but it was closed.  It looked like they had some shore line issues from the river.  We went on to Columbus, MT and camped at Mountain Range RV park for $21 for electric but no water.  We walked into town and picked up a cache at the park.  The wind was really blowing.
