| Our first morning back in Missoula, first snow on Lolo Peak greets us with the reminder that the days will be getting shorter, darker, colder... |
 |
| Before anything else, and with the truck still unladen, we drove up to our old house on Horseback Ridge |
 |
| We lived in it from 1997, sold it in 2007; it was lived in for two years, but then has sat empty the last five, on the market but without a sale; so sad... |
 |
| First sight of our new home...inspection, demonstration, etc... |
 |
| Truck meets camper |
 |
| Finally, after the bank, a couple days of me installing the tie- downs, the steps, other truck improvements, truck and camper are together, here in the parking lot at Bretz', one of Missoula's several large RV dealerships; the first of several trips to Bretz, and others, for hoses, levelers, "household" goods; much other stuff purchased mail-order; our chief purchasing officer seems to be enjoying herself; the big challenge will be getting the solar power up and going, but we will have some considerable help with that on a trip to Roundup, MT |
 |
| Parked at Kim and Dave's; we're really enjoying the camper, after a week, relatively spacious (for us), quite well insulated, a galley twice the size of what we were earlier planning on, huge comfortable bed, storage we haven't begun to utilize... |
 |
| Typical Missoula residential scene; you'll occasionally see them downtown, too |
 |
| Most of our time has been out at the storage unit, reorganizing, repacking, selling a few things, donating box after box to Goodwill; here Vicki poses by what we think was our first piece of furniture, a pine bookcase purchased in Boston in 1970 |

Nice to see photos of the truck and camper. I hope it will be exactly what you want.
Can't believe your beautiful house has sat empty all these years. I loved that house. Perhaps the housing market will improve enough that it will sell soon. Sad to think of it being all alone on the side of that mountain!
Let us know about your travels.
