Karl, Bob and I are here…

Polson, 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.

This trip – an impromptu trip – Polson was a backup destination for the first night out.

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”.

So…..

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!

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.

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…

St. Regis was the intended destination, but Polson was the backup.

Approach to Polson.

Karl on the dash and the view beyond.

Bob likes the recliner.

I like this spot. I like the view, the change of scenery, the change of routine, being “on the road”.

I think we’ll proceed to St. Regis tomorrow, but that will be decided tomorrow.

Wild Thing rolls.
