Day 12 GPS

Spokane, WA to Theodore Roosevelt National Park Medosa, ND.
Longest day ever! Wow never felt so good to sleep last night at 3:30 am. I digress...
The camp site in Spokane was so close to the railroad when the train came through we couldnt tell where it was coming from. It was kinda cool and very unexpected late night.
We lucked out and noticed a site with a structure over the picnic table. Just as we finished moving everything over it started to rain. Good timing. We ate dinner- beans and franks- enjoyed a couple of local brews and watched the rain come down. Nice and dry. Nighty. Night.
Up and out in the am. The usual routine. Twas to be a long day of driving. And it was....14 hours total. Through the rest of Washington, Idaho, Montana and finally arrining at 3am to a dark Theodore Roosevelt National Park just over the border into North Dakota. It was worth the stretch.  Admittedly TJ did most of the driving through the Continental Divide and curvy mountains in Montana to the painted rocky landscapes of North Dakota.
The rain has been threatening and just ahead of us going east. We caught some as it was getting dark and it was not fun. Hopefully we loose it.
TJ drove and drove. I dozed in and out. There were pee stops and lots of trucks. We had a good dinner at the Iron Horse pub in Missoula, Montana. I think... Missoula.
Then we drove and drove. Did I mention we drove alot yesterday?
Camping was nice in the park. We were greeted by a doe upon our entrance.  She kinda meandered out and across slowly as if to say hi.
