Day 66 - Fort Hall, ID

Today is our first casino overnight stop of the trip. The Buffalo Meadows RV Park which is part of the Fort Hall Casino  Not free to stay here, but a very reasonable $24 with full hook ups and useable wifi. At least it seems reasonable after the $28/night at the Montana state park charges non-residents for a site with no hookups. I'm not complaining at all and would visit that state park again. Todays drive was mostly sunny except for rain around Butte, MT, but we had some pretty good head winds for most of the day. I'll be surprised if we got more than 10 mpg on this tank. We did get enough sun to top off the batteries by the time we stopped for the day. And that was starting from 70%.
Only 165 miles to our next reservation but it doesn't begin until Wednesday so tomorrow may be a Walmart stop. Tomorrow is Tuesday, right? Sometimes it's hard to keep track of the days...
BTW, this post was created with BlogPad Pro. It works pretty well and actually lets you have clickable photos. Its only problem is there is an error in the html it creates when you have text on the right side of a photo. Not a big deal if you dont mind editing the html but still annoying. I had sent in a bug report maybe ten months ago and there hasn't been an update. The iOS version is probably not going to be updated as the developers don't make any money after the initial sale.

    1. No, too smoky but we did try out the restaurant. Good, cheap dinner. (Indian Taco)

  2. Glad you've had some short driving days. Did you take advantage of the buffet in the casino while there? Around here, there is usually too much cigarette smoke in them and we'd don't typically stop in.

    1. The cigarette smell wasn't as bad as many other casinos and this one was too small to have a buffet. But it did have a nice RV park.

  3. Cool. We have stayed in several casino lots and enjoyed it. Only once with a fee and hookups, but it too was cheap. If they make them smoke free that would be great!
