<\/a><\/p>\nPolson, MT – actually a mile north of Polson at what used to be the Polson KOA and is now Polson Motorcoach and RV Resort…LA – DI – DAH!!! It is still a KOA although not sure it will stay a KOA. This RV park, a mere 50 miles from my house is the place that I spent my first overnight in my motorhome, Wild Thing, on August 16, 2005. I returned a bit later when I had the Jeep to “practice” with a car in tow.<\/p>\n
This trip – an impromptu trip – Polson was a backup destination for the first night out.<\/p>\n
Yesterday – Thursday, I took the Jeep to a dealer service spot for an oil change which was accomplished quickly, but a leak in a seal in the differential required a return trip. As the seal repair was a 2-3 hour thing vs a quick LOF, I thought: “I’ll tow the Jeep with the motorhome, get propane, fuel, work in the motorhome while the Jeep is being serviced”, which progressed to “as long as I’m taking the motorhome out, I might as well GO somewhere”.<\/p>\n
So…..<\/p>\n
The current Walmart sits across from the Jeep place. The Jeep place does not have room for the motorhome and Jeep to maneuver. Wild Thing landed at Walmart, I unhooked the Jeep and delivered it across the street, whereupon WT and crew went off to acquire propane, fuel, groceries and some valves for the water heater – I do NOT travel without hot water! <\/p>\n Water heater valves acquired and hot water in the offing we returned to Walmart just as I received a call that the Jeep was ready to go.<\/p>\n By now it was after noon. WT, Karl, Bob and I had rolled at 8:45 which was about 30 minutes later than intended, but still…<\/p>\n St. Regis was the intended destination, but Polson was the backup.<\/p>\n Approach to Polson.<\/p>\n Karl on the dash and the view beyond.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
