Day 86, Wed. June 27, 2018. Getting necessary things done. Haircuts, New maps, hardware, body adjustment?

Yes it was time to get the things dine that are avoided when you are traveling or chasing birds.  So today can be summed up briefly.

We obtained some maps of the areas that we will be birding in the next few days from the Bureau of land Management, and the Chamber of Commerce. Both were very helpful and the Chamber supplied us with more literature than we can use. But they all were helpful. Herb at the BLM was a native and knew every road in the county I am sure,  Like he said, "I was out there before the roads were built."

Danelle, at the chamber, was also very helpful. One of the maps put out by the Corps of Engineers had no road names on it,  so Herb helped with that one. We had a little time after lunch at a park, about an hour before Ruth had her Chiropractic treatment. We found a water treatment plant there but there was no water in it. A trip to the Hardware store (Are we boring you ?)  where we found items for trailer repair. (minor repairs)  They were: 1. A stronger light for the oven vent (found)...2.  a stronger light for the overhead in the living area (not found). 3. A clasp for the trailer wall that will hold a 6 lb. chiming clock.  (Found, thanks to Glenn in the Ace Hardware).  4. A faucet insert sprayer  (not found) for the kitchen. 5 and 6.  Some wire and a drill bit for a repair of a side panel on the trailer that needs attaching. (found) and finally 7. A hanger for some wires under the trailer that are being held up my Duct tape at present. (Could not find) .

A view of small town Montana - Malta, Montana.

Our campsite at Shady Acres in Glasgow MT. It is shady!

Ruth got some more deodorant for the toilet at a small RV dealer , where the young lad was running the "whole business"  alone. I don't know how how he was doing that, but he was. He was cashier, clerk, maintenance,  PR, mechanic and business manager all rolled into one. It was large, fairly  well stocked store as well.

The Chiropractic went very good as Dr. Krista did a magnificent job on Ruth and she said it was the best on the trip so far. (Houston,TX was very good as well.) She was a delight and we got to sharing so much, right out the door, that we got to the car and forgot to pay the bill. She came out all excited  and embarrassed and we went back in to pay. Hilarious!

 The rest of the day was quiet and planning for tomorrow with long, one hour ride back on US 2 to Havre where we will turn south a few miles to the Bodoin NWR , and another bird and wildlife paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
