I was so happy to wake up at Jim n Mary\u2019s RV park in Missoula \u2026 a good night\u2019s sleep with off and on rain, nice and cool and 100% more pleasant than Nugget RV Park in St. Regis.  I am happy I made the decision to leave after finding a spot here.  It wasn\u2019t horrible, it just wasn\u2019t me.  AND \u2026 I got an end spot here with lovely garden and grassy area.  AND against policy, Nugget RV park refunded me 5 of my 10 day prepaid stay.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not unhappy that I headed for St. Regis as the drive was even more beautiful than I remembered.  Also, it was a good reminder to me that it is ok to make a mistake and move on in a way best for me, Emmett and Oscar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I went to bed at Nugget (night before last), after taking a rinse off shower having gotten sweaty setting up, I discovered that Oscar had peed in the bed \u2026 probably when we started as he was under the covers and I left quickly as soon as a package I was waiting for arrived.  I was exhausted but had to strip the bed.  Fortunately, it was just one comforter and duvet, bottom sheet and moisture cover.  I threw all in the door well, put on clean sheet and used the top comforter.  For whatever reason I only slept a bit over 4 hours!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a tough start to Saturday (6\/27).  When I went to scout the laundry room:  small machines, signs that said no bulky items AND it was $3.00 wash load and only 2 dryers.  Kind of last straw.  I went back and thankfully found space at Jim n Mary\u2019s \u2026 unhooked and rolled out of there.  I thought I would go back after a 3 day respite and taking care of laundry, but once here decided I didn\u2019t want to go back.  Found 5 nights in Dillon at Countryside RV Park which I know well.  It left me 1 night \u2026 found a Harvest Host.  So, I have spots through the July 4th holiday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some big fires as well as high fire danger in Colorado and Utah so not sure what after the holiday weekend.  But I will and am enjoying my current situation(s) and that is another lesson \u2026 remembering to enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I slept very well last night, today was a relax day:  rainy walks, some bookkeeping, some cooking (brunch, air fryer granola, chicken \u2026 bacon is on the list) and small rv chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to 3 firefighters killed and 2 burned in an incident in a fire on the border of Colorado and Utah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
