Finally, an early start this morning. We left the RV park at about 10am. I know that's not early for some of you, but we were up at 7am, had breakfast, packed up and showered. It was a long drive, but we made it before dark which is always a plus. Aside from WiFi, this park has cable. WiFi is fairly common these days, but cable is usually not offered or when it is, it's extra per day. We hardly watch TV, but it would be nice to fill up our Tivo with some shows we can watch when we want to. We've never hooked the coach up to cable and I've discovered we need a gender changer attachment. We'll get that tonight at Wal-Mart.

We're back from Wal-Mart.  Speaking of, LeBron commented on yesterday's entry regarding his disgust with Wal-Mart. I agree with him, and we hate the place. Some day, when we don't need to count pennies again, we'll be able to go to a real store. We hate Wal-Mart bakery, deli, and meat department. Most of the time, meat is creepy looking there. Baked goods are terrible, and I don't think the deli has Boar's Head, a favorite of mine.

By the way, we're in Missoula, Montana. On the drive to the store, we noticed casinos are bountiful here. It reminds me of Vegas, especially when even the gas stations had them on site.

Outside of Missoula, we spotted a billboard ad promoting the annual Testicle Festival. We missed it!  Yes, it was in August, and I did a little research on it.

Rock Creek Lodge just outside of Clinton, Montana throws the world’s largest testicle festival every fall attracting more than 15,000 fans annually to its five day event. Tossing around its motto, “I had a ball at the Testicle Festival,” the festival feeds over 2 ½ tons of bull balls to its many hungry revelers. Not only can you get a taste of these yummy delicious deep-fried bull’s testicles, but while you’re there, you’ll no doubt want to participate in the bull-chip throwing contest, the wet t-shirt or hairy chest competitions, and bull-shit bingo.

It's been rainy here, so most all of my pictures look like crap. Here's one of Jag and another of an pretty view from the road.


I just made myself some hot chocolate. Months ago Costco had Swiss Miss packets on clearance for $4 for a case of it. We brought it with us.... obviously. Most of the time we forget it's there. Yummy. Time to sip some hot cocoa!

  2. The mascot is Testeklees, the Greek God of Baby Making

    I could never eat testicles. The idea makes me want to vomit.

    The thing about Wal Mart Bakery is the doughnuts and the bread taste the same. And why is the meat all cartoony? It is all bright stoplight red.

  3. I just can't imagine eating fried testicles, bull or otherwise. Must be good though if thousands have them every year! Still, very funny that they devote a whole festival in their honor! LOL
