Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
When I left the Super 8 on the bike this morning around 9, it was spitting rain and cold so I just signed up for another night in Happy Helena!
Two hours later (official check out time), it is completely socked in, but it's not raining ... at the moment. Security Bank reported that it was a steamy 48 degrees andweather.com corroborated this number.
But I may never leave Helena ...
THEY HAVE A COSTCO!!!!
It's only 3.3 miles (as the bike flies) from the Super 8! I went in (yep, my Thornton Costco card works in Helena) and bought a 56 ounce bag of peanut M&M's. Sure, it's a lot to haul up and over various hills/passes/mountains, but think of the potential energy packed in that resealable bag!

And, hang on to your hats, boys and girls ... THEY HAVE A PANDA EXPRESS!!! Just across the highway from the Costco ...
Costco pizza! Pseudo Chinese food! Come on. You might have to pry me out of Helena ...
And, saving perhaps the best for last, there's a mini-casino on nearly every street corner! While the Super 8 is a "slot machine free" zone, right across the street, the Howard Johnson's hosts The Longhorn Bar and Casino. The scrolling banner outside the building suggests "Drinks ... Hot Machines ...".
Right across the street! Why didn't I stay there? They have a hot tub! This place only has a laundry room and a surly front desk clerk ("G").
Do you get the sense that I'm slowly going crazy?
Here's hoping that tomorrow morning dawns rain free and I'll be putting in miles to Lincoln, MT, the next big town ...
