Rich had a slight set back on his drive across the USA. On Tuesday, late afternoon, his fuel pump started to give out. He limped into North Platte, Nebraska and found a FORD dealer to work on the Focus. They were able to put on a new pump, so he was off again yesterday, but a day behind. Last night he was in Sheridan, Wyoming so he made good time. Today, he will be visiting the Battle of Little Bighorn Monument in Montana. Gail and I toured it also, but the weather was cold, rainy and snowy that day so no walking tour for us. Rich will probably spend 3+ hours there. A lot to see at this monument: walking tour, driving tour and a great visitor center. He hopes to make Missoula, Montana tonight. I hope he eats dinner at the MacKenzie River Pizza Co. and enjoys the MacKenzie River Amber beer. It was awesome. Better yet, I hope he buys some and brings it with him. It will be great with the Memorial Day BBQ and pool opening at my mom's.
