Day 8...
We left and got on the road by 707 this morning.  We had 2 passes to go through and I didn't want a repeat of Sundays overheating especially since the temps were supposed to get close to 100.  Once we got over the passes successfully, Montana (to me) gets kind of ugly.  Very flat and not a whole lot to look at.  We decided today would be a long day since we are trying to get home for a Pease picnic on Saturday night that we were invited to.  It should be fun as we haven't seen these cousins in almost 15 years!  We logged 864 miles today!  I am sure tired of sitting in the same position.  I looked at the tarp on the truck tonight and saw that it was coming apart.  At least we got this one to last a little longer - we bought it in Prince George Canada.  Im not sure if we are going to get another one tomorrow, we will have to see what the weather holds for us.  We stopped in Bismark ND and only have 1700 miles left to get home.  Seems like a lot but compared to how many miles we've come this is the easy part.  Well its been a long day and getting up early and going to try to do another long day tomorrow!  Miss you all:)
