The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
drove their RV from White Sulphur Springs, MT
to Fort Benton, Montana
May 27, 2016

The two RV Gypsies drove through several small towns. Although they drove in a bit of rain, it was obvious that not long ago, it had snowed in this area.

Below: The two RV Gypsies drove past Showdown Montana, an alpine ski area located in the Little Belt Mountains in Central Montana - US Highway 89 S - Neihart, Montana. It was closed on this date.

Created in 1936 and originally called King's Hill Ski Area, Showdown is a small-scale ski area normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, receiving most patrons on the weekends. During the summer months, the area offers a variety of activities ranging from mountain biking to hiking to camping.

In 1973 the Ski Area changed its name from King's Hill Ski Area to Showdown Ski Area. In 1995, it was changed again to Showdown Montana. The two RV Gypsies love to learn more about signs and places they pass while driving their RV.

Below: The two RV Gypsies also drove their RV past Lewis and Clark National Historic Interpretive Center and decided that they would drive back their later on in their toad. They also drove past a dam and although there was a pull-out big enough for their RV, Karen Duquette simply took a few photos through the window of their RV because she believed they would return there shortly.

This was a Passport America campground reasonably priced and not far from Great Falls. Check-in was NOON. Check-Out was 11 a.m. TV did not come in very well. All roads in the campground were dirt roads. The laundry room was in the office by the owner's house. No washing vehicles in the campground, but there was a car wash about one-block south of St. Charles street.

This was a friendly park in a great city along the Missouri with full hook-up sites that can accommodate RVs up to 60'. 20/30/50 amp service. Other amenities included: Dump Station, Restrooms with Showers, Laundry Facilities, Picnic Tables, BBQ, Ice, Horseshoes, Tent Camping available, Teepee and Cabin Rentals - none of which were used by the two RV Gypsies. It rained all evening on the 27th. Karen Duquette only took one photo just as they were entering the campground.
