the stupid rental car is smaller then i wanted i asked for a trailblazer and they gave me a rav 4 i know its better on gas but we have a lot of crap in the car and with the consoule mounted shifter there is no place to set the computer up front with the gps working

yes it is a tight fit 3 adults a blue tick two cats and bags
yes it has so much power we hit montana today and i wonder if it will make it thru the mountains running 80 the tach is reading 4500 on the climbs
if you ever get to miles city montana the best western is a nice hotel and there is a real good mom and pop type restraunt right across the street
teddy rosevelt park or forest in north dakoda is a very nice place to visit great views
if it wasnt for the fact that there isnt any place close to get gas and not many people living there it would be great for a rental spot it would be neat to scoot down some of the dirt roads in the park

i love the pictures. my favorites are definitely of the mountains, absolutely gorgeous. the rattlesnake sign was hilarious, but i would definitely stay on the sidewalk then.. lol
i can't believe that the signature from the Lewis and Clark Expedition is still preserved, that's absolutely amazing
hope you're having a safe trip and keep us posted!
