Short Drive AND Huckleberry Ice Cream!

June 10 – Our drive today was rather on the short side, however, the views were amazing.  We began seeing our first snow capped mountains in the distance and they continued until we arrive in Livingston, MT.  We stopped at a rest area where I could park and get out and get the shot on my camera, which is much better than my phone. 

We arrived at our campground and had a little bit of a challenge getting parked level, but found it was best to stay at the back end of the site and all is well!

After lunch we went into town.  Bill said he was sure we came here before and we realized it was when we volunteered in Idaho that we came to visit Wilcoxson, the company that makes the delicious huckleberry ice cream sandwiches.  We “assumed” they had a factory tour but did not.  They actually don’t even have a big sign on the building.  We drove by it again and nothing has changed.

We visited the Sacagawea City Park where we saw beautiful black and white birds along with more geese.  I haven’t checked my photos to see if I got a good one or not.  Livingston is not a big city, but they have a very nice old downtown of shops and eateries.  Bill was scoping out where he wants to eat tomorrow.

On the way back to the RV we stopped at a local grocery that was one of the best and nicest I’ve been in.  They had plenty of options for everything and even an aisle of bulk items, where I got some coconut granola! 

We had salad and chicken pot pie for dinner so there wasn’t’ much cooking to do.  I did decided it was time to descale my Keurig as I was making a cup of coffee and the pod exploded and there were grounds in every crack and crevice of the machine and all over the counter.  I spent about 2 hours of cleaning the mess, descaling the machine and running enough water through it to get rid of the vinegar taste.  I guess I should plan ahead and clean it before it explodes!
