Billings, Montana and a Great Surprise!

Billings, Montana has a Cabela's which offers free overnight camping with a dump station and water. From Hardin we decided that would be a good place to spend the night. Once we arrived, we found out it was right next to Sam's. We also found out that Sam's offers free wi-fi to its customers. We were able to connect to Sam's wi-fi from our spot at Cabela's!

The next morning we knew we needed to walk. Our fitbit steps have greatly diminished due to the weather! Bob found a park nearby and we headed out to get some geocaches along with our steps.

 Dutcher Trail turned out to be a good place for us to get some steps before heading back to the RV and preparing to move further west. The trail wound around a lake and at one point there was a small bridge to get from one side to the other. We enjoyed this view of the lake.

 When we returned to Cabela's, it was time to visit Sisters on the Fly! Cabela's was having Ladies Day and had invited the 'Sisters' to display their trailers. I had seen Sisters on the Fly on television and was excited to see their trailers! The trailers are vintage. Some were redone like original and others were gutted and redone with modern fixtures.

 Bob and I enjoyed talking with several of the 'Sisters' and found out that one lived in Alaska for many years.

 The trailers may be small, but they  are made to be homey and comfortable for a good fly fishing trip.

After viewing the trailers, we moved about 40 miles west to Columbus, Montana. It would be our stopping place for 2 or 3 nights. Now was the time to stay in one place long enough to put the slide out and do some exploring. That's right, we hadn't put the slide out since Wilson, Kansas, due to cold and wind.  The RV was causing me to get a little claustrophobic without the extra space.
