Tally Ho in Idaho

Missoula, Montana is a city of about 90,000. They have a Costco, Walmart and 3 big RV dealers. We planned to stay a couple of days to shop and get a part for a broken bay door.

Meanwhile, our mail-forwarding service sent our mail (we tried to go totally paperless but forgot a few businesses) to our campground in Yellowstone and there were several things that need to be handled by phone. Problem -- Missoula is situated in sort of a low bowl, especially our RV park and we had no cell service.

After one night, we headed west on I-90 and ended up in Post Falls, Idaho. (It turned out to be only 12 miles from Spokane). I had sort of a fibromyalgia meltdown and was hurting and exhausted so we stopped early at an RV park right by the Flying J where we had filled up on diesel. Ed went to the pool for a while and I rested and napped. We considered staying to tour Spokane but didn't read about anything unique or exciting enough to motivate a longer stay.

It's now about 10:30 am Pacific time and we're heading to Seattle. There should be plenty to see there. At least I can say I slept in Idaho.

I'm so sorry you had a fibro meltdown but glad you had the presence of mind to take care of yourself in the midst of it.
