Grass fires have been happening in many places and the fire spreads quickly due to the winds. This fire was a large one and they closed the road as we pulled up. There was a nice homestead right in the middle of the fire that the trucks had done a great job of protecting. As we sat there talking with a trucker stuck behind us the fire reignited and flames quickly approached us. As we planned how to turn around our 50' rig the firefighters managed to get that part back under control.
We have been taking our time in getting to Montana because it has been so hot and dry there. Last night we visited at a lovely homestead in North Dakota that belongs to a friend. After a wonderful dinner with them we walked out to the Open Range to discover that our wishes for moisture and cool temps had been granted.
Just a couple of inches of snow but temps are to stay in the 40's with teens at night. Perfect.
