This is the fourth day in our month-long trip in Moby, our 23-foot travel trailer, short for Moby Dick, so named because it is large and white (large by our standards anyway - looks like a giant icebox on wheels).
We are currently staying at our friend, Tim's, rented cabin in Roberts, Montana, half-way between Billings and Red Lodge, a cool little town near the Beartooth Mountains. We arrived on a gorgeous evening on Sunday - 68 degrees, sunny, so enjoyed some wine on his deck while he was still in Glenwood Springs for Mother's Day (long story). The sun on our faces felt wonderful, as we had endured weather akin to a good portion of the West on Saturday - torrential rains most of the way from home to Thermopolis, Wyoming. And then then we had just left the snow in Summit County.

Let me backtrack: we tried to outrun a storm on Saturday as we headed North from Blue River to Thermopolis. It caught up with us about two-thirds of the way there. And the downpours seemed to occur every time we had to get out of the Jeep. There was a gorgeous camping area in the Wind River Canyon in Wyoming, but with the dodgey weather, we opted for Eagle RV Park in Thermopolis with full-hookup. Worked out fine. We endured the rainy evening by watching the 4 first episode of Northern Exposure!
On the way from Wyoming into Montana, the weather improved and we stopped in Cody, WY for a sunny stroll through town, some lunch and a couple of bargains at Sierra Trading Post!
Now we've been hanging out in this delightful cabin on 3 acres in Roberts since Sunday evening. Yesterday the weather was awful again, so it was a perfect time to hole up and do computer stuff - emails, notes, BFF movies. And it snowed last night... fortunately not very much. Later today, it lightened up, so we went on a hike South of Red Lodge on the Lake Fork Trail, along a large, roaring creek. Good to get out and get the limbs moving. Lucy was thrilled.
