Still in Montana

The forecasts mentioned in our last post were pretty accurate: mostly cool and damp.  There has been snow nearby, but it is all above 6,000 ft elevation while we are at about 3,000 feet.  It is close enough that we can see some at the tops of nearby ridges. 

Two weeks worth of work has been done, and now the tricky part starts.  The jobs we start next week have to be small enough to finish by Thursday.  We don’t want to leave a job partially finished.  One of our tasks will be to burn brush, etc., that has accumulated in piles around the camp.  We are all looking forward to that job!  We’ll at least stay warm!   

During the past week, the camp received official notice that they will be hosting another group of Nomads next June.  Before the week was out, half of the workers signed up to come here again.  Maybe it’s because of our neighbors (both pictures taken from inside our motorhome):

When we finish at the end of the coming week, our 4 rigs will be scattering in 4 directions.  It will be tough to say goodbye to everyone – it’s been a great group to work with!  We will continue west into Washington to, hopefully, catch up with one of Paige’s cousins near Seattle.
