The Heralds of Rest

Odometer: 74131.9

Hello, good readers. I write to you from the rolling hills and lush forests of Montana! We are just outside of Libby, MT, and we are loving it!

But let me backup:

Yesterday, we drove up to Sandpoint, ID, and walked through the town, drove through many neighborhoods, and, in general, experienced the place the best we could.

Last night, we settled in a Wal-Mart parking lot, because the couple of locations we scouted out didn’t look promising. It is well we stayed there, though, for around dinner, a man came walking around our RV, looking closely at it. When he noticed us inside, staring back at him, he jumped in surprise, waved, and motioned towards our door, and then as if to knock. I went outside and what followed was an hour long conversation with a fellow Sunrader owner.

He looked over all we had done and was amazed. He took some notes, saying that he needed to make similar changes (in some cases) to his RV. We discussed the road ahead, for us, since he had just come out of Glacier National Park, and we are headed in that direction, and he recommended an alternate route. In the end, we parted happily.

So, today: We crossed into Montana, and it is gorgeous. The alternate route turned out to be incredibly scenic, and we saw fantastic views.

We stopped to have lunch at a day use area (The Big Eddy), and the dogs ran around, having a grand ol’ time.

We rolled into Libby just after 5pm, and everything was closed. (Small towns, eh?) So, we ventured forth into the charted wilderness, settling on a lovely spot with a great little view.

We hope to be here for a few days, enjoying our time, hiking, and finishing up a few tasks on the RV itself. Cell service makes this prospect all the more agreeable. (Hurray for posts and contact with the outside world!)

I will leave you with this simple thought: Is Home a place? A group of people? Or a feeling when all is right and comfortable? I say Home is where God wants you to be, be it a place, with a group of people, or in a certain emotional state.

Thus, I say goodnight to you, from Home.
