Greycliff Mill, Montana
We woke up to sunny skies, ready for our next destination, a Harvest Host location called Greycliff Mill in Montana. Our drive was long, 400 miles, 7.5 hours, through Idaho’s and Montana’s Rockies. But the weather and scenery were outstanding! Beautiful forests, green rolling hills and interesting rock formations. We drove past a historical monument,…

We got on the road at 6:30am and the drive was pretty great all the way to Kellog. Mostly sunny and blue skies with poofy white clouds. We got some rain once we hit Idaho, but nothing major. We nursed our gas tank all the way to Post Falls so we could fill up on…

We left Lodi, CA early in the morning to get through Sacramento before rush hour. Traffic wasn’t too bad and it was a beautiful drive.

We left Palm Springs early so we could arrive in Quartzsite well ahead of the predicted wind storm. We pulled into the Holiday Palms RV Resort at 1pm and quickly got set up. We were comfortably nestled between two large RV’s, a perfect place to ride out the wind storm. We had just enough time…
