The winds started about 1 AM, shaking the trailer, and it was non-stop blowing. We debated whether to stay in Dickenson for another day or drive to the next stop. We knew it was a short journey to Miles City ....
Of course, we took the, let's go! We encountered major winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 50 to 60 mph all the way to Miles City. Can you say 7 mpg? As far as gas goes, most of the way, we were averaging 11 to 12 miles a gallon.
The driver took it slow, and we made it. Hopefully, the winds will die down soon. We will be here one night, and then off again.
Since we've made it here and there's not much to do until the winds calm down, I've decided to go and do some laundry. I was surprised to find that it costs $1.75 for washing and $0.75 for the dryers. Cheapest so far! They also have a charming gift shop that offers locally made items as well as general supplies.
