28 June 231 miles.
We had a very pleasant drive out of Yellowstone about thirty miles, during which we saw Bison, Deer, an Eagle and a Black Beaked Swan.
Unfortunately just outside Yellowstone we lost Pat Miles’s +4 with a blown piston. Ken and Pat had to arrange shipping for the car and fly home to pick up a replacement car a very handsome early +8. They will be out of action for about a week.
The rest of the journey was straightforward with no detours. The weather was very hot and dry with a very blue sky.
We shared a coffee and a piece of cake with the Lacey’s at Gallatin a very pleasant café next to a river and stayed about an hour. Our arrival at the Budget Inn left us time to visit a fine motor museum based in a redundant prison. The collections, were mainly American, but with one or two “exotics” including a Morris Minor.
There was a laundry close to the hotel, which gave us a much needed suitcase refresher; we also managed to clean the car!
The party had a very good meal in the Broken Arrow Restaurant and Casino the menu was very simple – Beef! The variations were quite broad, but beef it was, well we were in Montana. The local airforce was making its presence felt in the form of very aggressive Mosquitoes, which we fought off with insect repellent.
