The step cover when it was broken. "A little help please"Yesterday, Pat and I jumped up from our nap to the sound of thunder and raced outside to pick up the chairs and the other stuff and quickly put them away. We didn't want them to get wet before we stowed them for today's trip. When we finished we came inside to wash the dishes. The counter was sticky and full of brown sugar and a wadded piece of plastic wrap. I threw it away and looked at the drain cloth also full of brown sugar and it hit me, Leisel had gotten into the bag from Stella's. She didn't get into Pat's birthday pie, nor his muffin they gave him as a present, nor the pumpkin cranberry bread, no she got into a 4"X4" square of cinnamon roll and eaten the whole thing. Her stomach was huge and she laid around all night and today. When will she ever learn not to eat so much? Or when will I learn not to leave it available.
A shout out to Kurt the service Manager at Metra RV in Billings. The step is working, Yay, well sort of. It works from a button outside the RV, so Pat or I have

Passing through the storm July 3rd. to stay outside and push it and then climb in, and the first one out climbs down and pushes it for the other. It is good to have stairs again if only for part of the time.
We took a scenic route today through the Lewis and Clark National Forest. It is located in the Little Belt Mountains and along Belt Creek It was beautiful and very exciting at the same time. We were going down 8% grades and around sharp turns with 10-15 foot drops off the sides and no shoulders. There was a little construction work along the way but it gave us an opportunity to go slower and enjoy the views.
Border prep tonight: Passports-check, Leisel's shot records and health report-check, unopened bag of dog food-check, no fresh fruit-check (I got a cup of juice out of the 5 lemons I squeezed and one more apple to eat for breakfast). Liquor wellll not so sure we may have to pay a little duty on that or have a crazy party tonight. We are not sure when our next entry will be. We will not have MiFi available in Canada, so we will have to rely

Life in the cockpit. Leisel lounging in her bed. on the WiFi at the RV parks. We should be up and running when we hit Alaska, sometime after July 17th.
Yesterday, my Spiritual Director and mentor Pat S. died. Thank you Pat for being in my life at a very crucial time. Lord bless her family as they grieve. Rest in peace my friend.
