26 Apr 26!

I have been severely under the weather…either the worst cold I have had in years, or a fairly incapacitating case of the WuHan.  I am slowly getting better.  So a few old photos, previsously not seen here!  (Mostly…)

THE Hotel California, down in San Diego.

A $2.5 Million motor coach sitting in the parking lot of THE Hotel California…and that was the price almost 25 years ago…

Today’s photos, as well as the ones on the previous two posts were all taken on an Avis run to Belgrade and back.  Typical Montana springtime!

This photo actually looked a lot better on my iPhone that it does on the monitor.  If I could use my Adobe Elements I might have been able to make it better, but they have yet to update Elements for my current OS…Adobe wants everything to be subscription, and I >>bought<< Elements.

‘Stache’s 13th Birthday!

17 Apr 26!

‘Stache’s Birthday (#13!) was this weekend, and he wanted to to go camping.  To go somewhere different the DD#1’s family went to the fishing access near Hardy Creek Bridge, on the frontage road on the way to Helena.

We decided to go visit them…and the trouble started…

We order Jimmy John’s to pickup, and they were slammed by the Saturday lunch crowd when we got there.  I waited in the store for at least 25 minutes.  Then the sirens started!

There was a funeral for a former fire fighter, and everyone in town seems to have shown up.  The road from 9th Street to at least Warden Bridge was packed.  All three lanes: cop cars, fire trucks, well wishers, and funeral attendees.  We thought we’d head down to Central and use the other on ramp to southbound I15.

We finally got on I15 and it wasn’t bad until the fender bender in the right lane between the 10th Avenue South exit we missed and the Airport exit, which funneled everyone into the left lane.  After that the funeral traffic returned to the right lane and we sped off in the left at…40 MPH.  No one wanted to pass a cop car with their lights on.

The first photo is going down the hill into Ulm.  You can see all of the steady stream of cars from Great Falls getting off I15 and trying to go through Ulm.  The second photo is the center of the first enlarged.

Passing them all…
