Snow in the Mountain Passes, October 3

We had good weather, though it was quite cloudy, for the best part of the day.  We got to Idaho Falls by one pm, our planned destination, and decided to continue on since it was so early.  Shortly after we passed Spencer, Idaho, it started to rain.  Not long after we’d crossed the continental divide into Montana, it started to snow.  By the time we got to Lima it was almost white out conditions, as we pulled into a service station to get gas.

I was going to ask if the road was ok, as we planned to go on to Dillon and then find an RV park.  However, Enid had already checked and said “We’re going to the RV park across the street!”

It isn’t much of a park, but we have power, water and a sewer hookup.  However we didn’t use the water, as we wanted to drain our tanks anyway.  After supper we did that, and then winterized the water system in the trailer.  It is supposed to get pretty chilly tonight, down around -12C.  We’re not sure when we will get away tomorrow, as we will wait for it to warm up some, and the roads to get clear.
