Great Falls, MT

Not much to report today. Drove like bastards through the eastern plains of Montana where there is nothing but cattle fields. Even less to witness at seventy-five miles per hour. Drove through rain and sun and snow and more rain and only three towns in three hundred miles. I can't believe my folks ever considered moving here. There was occasionally some nice scenery, but mostly just grasslands. Had a decent meal at a place called Jakers. There were slot machines in the waiting area. Every other building has a casino, which I assume just means more slot parlors.

I'm finally focusing more on what's to come than just the road in front of us or the next hotel. Shit is getting real. And real expensive to boot. Hope I find a job ASAP when I get to Talkeetna. Tomorrow we cross into Canada, hopefully it will be as pain-free as possible.
