A Change in Plans-July 31, 2012

Our trip to Washington will be delayed a few days. After consulting all of the charts, we find that one's 36th Anniversary is to be celebrated by exchanging tires. Therefore, big baby is getting 6 new shoes. I am giving Jerry 3 and he is giving me 3. We will head for Missoula early in the morning and get the tires put on before we settle into an RV park. To complicate matters, this weekend is a three day holiday for Canada and we are told the Canadians (or is it Canadiens?) love Montana and they fill up the parks every year at this time. Seems to me their choice is Montana or North Dakota. Not much of a decision there. Oh how we wish we knew about the holiday two weeks ago. We were able to find a park in Missoula that can take us for two days. After that, we pray the parks in Washington are not as full as these. We know everything will work out fine so we are not concerned. We are thrilled at the deal we were able to make for the tires and overjoyed there is no state tax charged on them. That's a really big deal. While this changes our plans a day or two, it does not bother us. We made plans for this day to arrive and we are prepared. We don't blame the Canadians for coming to Montana over North Dakota. There are no parks at all available in that state due to the oil drilling boom taking place there. And there certainly is no place prettier than Montana so we will share it with them. Give us a few days and we'll be back to playing tourists. If you are missing the pictures I normally post I will be happy to post pictures of our new tires tomorrow. Just let me know!
