08/03/1 - I had the alarm set for 8 00 am but was awake at 7 30 am so got up soon after that.  I had done quite a bit yesterday to get ready for the travel day today.  My neighbor was very kind and helped hook up the car and I was on my way at 10 00 am.  Since I decided to stay on interstate 90 it would be 50 miles further so I knew it would be a long day.  When I started out it was extremely windy so I traveled at about 48 miles per hour for quite a while.  I then drove out of it so was able to drive at 60 miles per hour.  When I stopped at a rest stop for lunch, the wind was completely gone so I was able to do 65 miles per hour.  Since there is no Walmart in the area, I am spending the night at a Love's truck stop.  It is really big and has a lot of parking.  I was early enough to choose my space and I went to the end of the parking lot so I could park horizontally instead of vertically since I can't back up with the car.  I thought I was totally going to be by myself but now quite a few truckers are coming in and they are getting closer and closer to me but I am still at a great stop.  So traveling went very well today.  I am in Hardin, Montana (the eastern side of the state).
