North we go, October 22

Well, we are definitely heading north.  The temperature dropped all day as we drove to Casper, Wyoming along I 25.  It was about 17 C at noon and now is about 10 C tonight.  Part of that is due to the weather, as we drove across a front today.  It started out very windy, mostly from the south, and we could see a high altitude bank of clouds across the Rocky Mountains to the west of the highway.  Gradually the clouds became thicker as we drove north, and it really cooled off between Cheyenne, Wyoming and here.

Tomorrow we head towards Billings, Montana, then north through the back country of Montana.  I checked the route on Google street view, and the road doesn’t look too bad.  I also checked the location of the gas stations, as there aren’t al lot out there.  We probably will stay at the Kipp recreation area on the Missouri River tomorrow night.  I doubt that we will have either Internet or cell phone coverage until we get back into Canada once we leave the Interstate at Billings.
