Started out great in Billings with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Two eggs over medium, three slices of crisp bacon, hash brown casserole, biscuits and gravy, bowl of grits and coffee. Couldn’t finish it.
Picked up a couple of bags of ice for the cooler and headed Northwest on Interstate 90. Got a few miles down the road and started feeling a little under the weather. A few more miles and it turned into really, really under the weather. After struggling through about 130 miles a quick calculation told me I wasn’t going to make another 100 to Great Falls.
Barb made a quick call to our Fairfield Inn reservation and a really nice lady switched us to the Fairfield Inn in Helena, Montana (a short 14 miles away.) There will be an email to Fairfield about this really great service.
Got checked in and I took a little rest while Barb did some laundry. A light (very light) dinner and back to the room for the night.
We were looking forward to the “Going to the Sun Highway” into Glacier National Park tomorrow, but will probably switch to a quicker route to make up the time lost today. We will catch this highway before leaving. 354 miles today
