OY!!! First thing this morning we hit the pharmacy. We could not find the cable for the GPS for anything so we can't connect it to the laptop. So we aren't as wired as we would like. We have Streets and Trips And the interface's with the GPS but we can't link em !! So we have to guess where we are in relation to stops we want. We Went over the new narrows bridge. No biggie!! We headed over the mountains and Stopped in Ellensburg and got some McDonald's. We headed on but Dave was getting tired so we stopped at the next rest stop and changed drivers. I was not stopping for anything until we got out of Wa. We were running behind were we need to be and I was determined to make up some time. We never did.  My next decision was that we are NOT stopping in Idaho and we did not. It was only 75 miles across. Montana SUCKS!!! It has done nothing but rain and lightening since we crossed the border. We hit hail that I was sure was going to damage the car or break a window. It had been in the 90's and the temp dropped a lot!!! We could feel it in the car windows and in the air. The lightening was the scariest thing! Dave thought it was cool BUT IT WASN"T!!!!!!It was striking all over and ubber creepy. I was convinced we were going to get hit by it and die. It was hitting the lightening poles up on the hills. Have I mentioned I HATE lightening? SO we made it into Butte safely found a hotel and are crashing for the night. I do have to say the people in Montana have been the nicest. We are back on the road bright and ubber early tomorrow. We are hoping to finish the trip but I have my doubts.

Here are today's expenses:

Narrow's Bridge  : $3.00
 Target               : $52.17   video game, snacks, shampoo ,toothpaste
McDonald's         : $22.49
Cheveron           : $20.80
Arby's                 : $19.14
EXXON                : $26.00
Silver Venture    : $4.28     soda
Best Western    : $ 130

Total =   $277.88  And me falls over cause we spent way to much money today and we cannot do this again. We will be finding ways to save money tomorrow. That pretty much was my whole get us there budget and we have 11400 miles to go. We drove and drove and drove and I do not get how it seems we made so little ways today. I am going to bed. I can't think anymore...
