17 June 2018. Trip to Alaska – Montana and Idaho
Last night we made it to Creed Lake, Montana. Tiny little town, apparently famous for its history of prisons.
Side note for people with TPMS in their cars. When you take your flat tire off, put on your spare, and reinstall the flat tire where the spare goes… Beware! the TPMS is still operating in the flat tire. So as you are driving down the highway – the TPMS will go off again as the flat tire re-loses the air. Do not be alarmed! Do not panic and think “oh, no – not another flat!” Just pull over and verify that the TPMS was only letting you know that the flat tire was still flat – even if it is no longer being used to drive the car… You would have thought we would have remembered this from two months ago…
The rest of the drive to our Brother in Law’s house in Coeur d’Alene was uneventful. We had a nice visit with Pat and Brady and then got to drop Brady off at the hotel where the Army sequestered him so that he wouldn’t change his mind before his swearing in on Monday. He is headed to Basic training in Georgia, so we won’t see him for awhile. Very proud of him.
