Today (Monday) was another travel day so we packed Shirley up and hit the road. We hadn't booked any reservations for the next 4 days so our destination for the evening was unknown. We needed to get to Bozeman (about 6 hours) by Friday, where we were staying at an airbnb for the weekend Morton wedding.
Our route was again through thick smoke from the fires, yet another daylong reminder of our climate challenges ahead. It was sobering. Our podcasts were a Preet Bharara interview with Transportion Sec'y Pete Buttigieg, and 2 Derek Thompson interviews, one with Paul Poast on Ukraine's recent counteroffensive, and the other with Bill Gates on global trends. All 3 were great, people that smart make me feel dumb.
Along the road we booked an overnight at another Harvest Host. As I mentioned earlier in our travels, this is a membership service that links you to breweries, wineries, and restaurants that provide free overnight accommodations for rv's in return for the favor of buying some of their product. This joint was the East Shore Smokehouse Bar & Grill in Polson, MT, a stones throw from Flathead Lake. It was in the middle of nowhere and it was really cool, a classic looking western joint. We more than paid for the patch of grass where Shirley sat for the evening-we sat at the bar, had a cocktail, enjoyed the BBQ, chatted with some locals, then sauntered back to Shirley for the night.
