Hey Hunter, I'm in Ennis, MT heading for Helena either tomorrow or Sunday. I have a broken (I mean shattered) window next to the door, an AC that is still being tempermental even after a cleaning, and an awning that is beginning to separate. But hey, I'm still here.
I'm at an RV park just north of Ennis, and they are absolutely the nicest folks here. So is the mobile RV service with which I've become great friends....
If you want to short cut down to Dillon from Bozeman, swing on by

Sent from my iPad which has an erratic spellcheck, so bear with me.
