Late last night it began to rain intermittently. The temperatures were still in the 50s but due to the sometimes heavy rain we weren’t too optimistic about today’s drive. I don’t like driving on strange roads in crummy weather. Fortunately, in the morning we awoke to very surly-looking skies but almost no rain. We were out of the Conestoga RV Park in White Sulphur Springs by 10:00 AM and we left our beloved US-89 for US-12, westward toward Helena.
The road meanders up and down in elevation between 4500 and 5500 feet but after the town of Townsend, the road flattened out and stayed that way all the way to Helena. In Helena, we turned north on I-15 for a few miles before we exited at Lincoln Road. A short drive west and we pulled into the Lincoln Road RV Park, a name that required hours of serious cogitation before reaching a conclusion.
The park has full hookups, wi-fi and some restrooms I have not visited. We got a Good Sam Club discount but the bill came to about $38 per day, not a particularly good rate for a plain RV park. The office folks were very nice and the office has a great assortment of free maps, brochures and Chamber of Commerce publications touting the wonders of Helena. I don’t know if any of the material contained in those publications is true but, hopefully, we will find out in the next few days.
