Missoula to Dillon: July 1

By Liz on July 2, 2026

Holy Cow … lots of memories surfaced on the drive today from Missoula to Dillon.

One thing that keeps surprising me is that in the Winnebago, driving mode with slides in was different than parked mode with slides out.  In the Bigfoot with no slides, all is the same with the exception of things being stowed for travel:  Oscar’s litter box, some kitchen counter items and my dinette charging station.

And then the RV park:  Countryside RV Park.  There is another park close to town and I spoke with 2 couples at Missoula who always stay there and say it is nice.  It looks to have trees and “town” is walkable.  Countryside is rural … kind of semi-rural now, but still.  It is “Big Sky”!! even with a few more houses around. 

I was at first thinking that I should have booked at Southside (town adjacent) but now that I am here, I am so happy to be here. It is 4 miles to town on a “frontage road” which is a 2 lane 60 mph state highway.  I drove it from a lovely grocery:  Town and Country Foods.  They had some great breads including locally made bagels.  Also some local made tortilla chips … tortillas also, but I bought a lot of tortillas in Missoula.

If I can make the trip on my e-bike I might try to stay longer.  Right now, I am due to leave Monday the 6th.

Photos and more tomorrow.

And bonus … Oscar only howled briefly before moving from the little sofa to his cabover bed.  Progress!!
