Sunday, June 16, 2013 (White Sulphur Springs, MT)

We had an early check out time this morning, we had to be checked out by 10:30 a.m. so it was an early to rise morning.  We had a quick breakfast and got into our packing up routine which by the way is getting easier and easier and quicker too. 

We were on the road around 9:30 a.m. and were headed to White Sulphur Springs which was a 126 mile drive, for me a perfect distance.  We arrived at Conestoga Campground around noon and got checked in, very friendly folks.  When we were researching our next stop we saw that they were offering a special rate for two nights if you listened to a presentation on a membership campground and since we had exceeded our budget by quite a bit with our last stop at Gardiner we were looking to save some $$$$.  The owners were at church and would stop by our campsite later in the afternoon.  The park is out in the middle of no where but was a very nice looking and neat park, you could tell they took pride in their park.  

A picture of our site - notice the mountains in the distance (between the fiver and the truck)

This is a picture from the other direction - notice the mountains in the distance, we are between two ranges, the Castle Mountains and the Big Belt Mountains.  We are at about 5,000 elevation here in the park. 

When we pulled into the park we noticed that there was another DRV Mobile Suites.  We'll have to be sure and meet those folks.  Well as we were setting up, a gentleman walked by and introduced himself as Glen and yes he was the owner of the other Mobile Suites.  We stopped and chatted for a few minutes and both agreed that we'd like to tour each other's rigs later on.  He also mentioned that he and his wife were Coast to Coast and Resort Park International Members and that they saved lots of campground fees that way.   Good deal. 

After we got set up, I took a few minutes to go around the fiver and wash the windows.  We have such pretty views we didn't want to look at them through dusty windows.  The owners, Sally and Gordon came by and introduced themselves and said whenever we were ready to come to the office and listen to their presentation, they assured us it was very low key and not high pressure at all. 

So after the windows were done, off we went to listen to the Coast to Coast and Resort Park International membership presentation.  Sally and Gordon were great, they spent time explaining the two programs and gave us some information and told us no hurry, take some time to think about it and check out the numbers/campgrounds.  Now I know we've all been in situations where people are trying to sell you something and you can hardly get away from them and if you don't make the deal right then and there, you loose out - not so with Sally and Gordon.  Whew, that sure made it nice and the programs actually sound pretty good.  But we did want to do some research on the campgrounds and the locations and make sure that we would actually use them. 

So we went back to the fiver and ran into town to the only market that was open on Sunday and picked up a few dinner items.  White Sulphur Springs is a pretty small town, around 900 residents, there really wasn't much to see.  The Sulphur Springs are located in the motel and they are open to the public.  After our dinner we took a walk around the park.  They have a fishing pond for guests and this windmill which pumps air into the pond for the fish.  The sunset was beautiful tonight.
