Day 47

Monday 7/07/03
We are at the Flying J in Billings, Mt. We got here at about 7 p.m. after a long drive from Spokane. We left Spokane at 6 a.m. because a gas tanker pulled in at 5 a.m. and we were sitting over the fill pipes so they woke us up and asked us to move. As long as we were up anyway we had coffee and pulled out. We crossed the Continental Divide today at over 6,000 feet and are now on the eastern side of the Rockies. The Rocky Mountains are well named; large rocks abound. The weather was sunny and warm today. The temperature hovered in the 80s. We saw two eagle nests with adult eagles perched a top. Also, saw Prairie Dogs and Antelope. Simba thinks that any animal with dog in its name is contemptible.
536 miles today; 8736 total
