This was the ice on the window of the car. It looks magical.
We crossed into Montana midday and it just kept getting colder and colder as we went. The lowest it got was -11. We had to stop and get gas and Brett said we should play rock, paper, scissors to see who should pump. Yeah, right! Today is one of those days when I'm happy to be a girl. And to be married to a gentleman!
We do have a little issue of no heat on the driver's side. Ok, maybe it's not a little issue. At least not if you're the one driving. We actually noticed it the first couple of days out on the trip, but we've been in warm weather the whole time so completely forgot about it. Brett got a small heater while we were still in CA so that my feet would be warm when we got up here. It's a good thing he did, as we put it under his seat and aimed it at his feet! Now if only we had a second one to put on the dash for his hands. We'll have to pick one up when we get to the next truck stop. It wasn't too bad while the sun was up, but when the sun started going down tonight, his side of the car got downright chilly.
Apparently, there aren't too many crazy people visiting Yellowstone this time of the year. We're the only ones staying at the hotel. The owner was fantastic and had our room warmed up for us when we got here. And now we're toasty in our long johns and drinking hot cocoa. The only bummer was that we were hoping they had PBS so we could watch the season premiere of Downton Abbey. They have DirecTV but the subscription package doesn't include PBS. And to make matters worse, the owner gave us his cell number in case we need anything as he and his wife are going to a friend's house to watch Downton Abbey!
Some views of the drive through Montana. Looking forward to going into Yellowstone tomorrow.
