July 16,2021 July 16 Quinn’s Hot Springs to Kalispell Friday July 16, 2021 We made the most of our time at Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort. Although we had to check out in the morning, we were able to hang out at the pools until 1 PM. The new pools are built right into the hill. They have a cold plunge,…

July 15,221 Bub had a horrible night’s sleep at the Sacajawea Hotel due to some rumbling roar. As I was packing up, I found a white noise machine in the drawer. Wish I’d found it the night before! The Sacajawea Hotel serves a nice continental breakfast. We were up and out early after banana bread, fruit, and coffee, on our…

Our last soak of the year at Chico’s Hot Springs and then it was time to check out and go to Bozeman Hot Springs on our way to Three Forks. Bozeman Hot Springs is another “new to us” hot springs. There are sleeping rooms except camping nearby–just marvelous indoor and outdoor pools. Altogether there are 12 pools, a sauna, and…

Chico Hot Springs, Pray, Montana July 13, 2021 Chico Hot Springs, Yellowstone Hot Springs and Ted’s Montana Grill in Bozeman. July 13 Our full day here at Chico Hot Springs began with a cool, cool morning. The internet had a strong signal, so I caught up with some work and then had a coaching call with a client. My clients…

Monday Day 18 July 12, 2021 The Inn on the Beartooth B&B is a great place to stay. I went down for the coffee at about 6:30 and did some catch-up on my writing. A little after seven, Bub and I both ambled downstairs. Owner, Debbie, serves a big breakfast of eggs, sausage, waffles, yogurt, and fruit. A couple from…

Sunday Day 17 Sleeping Buffalo to Billings to Red Lodge.  July 10 We started the morning with an early soak again in the Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs hot pool. We took advantage of having a nice kitchen and indulged in eggs and bacon again-over easy for Bub and scrambled for me. I’d asked for an Interview to get more information,…

Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs, July 9, 2021 What a luxury to wake up and know I wasn’t going to have to jump in the car and drive! We had some Kona Coffee Beans and the coffee grinder with us and enjoyed the early morning. Mosquitos like this place and it got a good spraying before most people were out and…

Thermopolis to Billings to Saco (Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs) July 8, 2021 We start the morning with a dip in the Thermopolis Hot Springs. These Springs were sold to Thermopolis by the Indians as a gift for the enjoyment of all people. The Best Western Plus Plaza Hotel has one of the best free breakfasts we’ve encountered. Hot eggs and…

Chadron to Themopolis, July 7 We jumped in the hotel hot tub in Chadron one last time before check out. We spend morning with Jean, setting up all the financial stuff in autopays so she doesn’t have to worry about paying any bills. We go to bank, where she rode her scooter a few days previous. The staff at Prairie…

Sioux Falls to Rapid City to Chadron We woke to a cloudy dry day. Without the rain, it should be easier driving. Most of the day is spent driving all the way across South Dakota’s flat empty plains. We didn’t even see wildlife…we just listened to tunes and made up stories about the places on the billboards. After hundred’s of…
