Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that works for you. Yeah me neither ;-) There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them. They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking. Sounds like a great place to take an RV. Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV. The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum, clean the bathroom, take out the trash? ![]() In an RV, doing all that takes only about a half hour. Not worth hiring a maid for. Ahh, so there is more time to order breakfast from room service! ![]() Who the hell wants to eat in their room? Have a heart. The bed bugs and roaches have to eat too. ...and other people's cooties and creepy-crawlies. Really depends on the quality of the hotel you choose. For example the place I stayed in South Carolina was outstanding. Clean and bug free. When we had the house in Florida we bought a brand new Pace Arrow Class A motor home thinking it would be ideal to travel back and forth to MA in. Put in a concrete slab in the yard in Florida and ran power to it underground. We drove it down there shortly after we bought it and within a month it had more creepy-crawlies living in it than anything I've ever seen in a hotel or house for that matter. Those Florida ants made a huge nest in one of the overhead compartments above the driver's seat. Had to fumigate the RV to get rid of them all. Later with the Sprinter a chipmunk family made themselves at home in the compartment behind the TV. I notice some red stains on the walls under the TV one day and pulled the TV out. The chipmunks had stored red berries from some kind of tree on our property in the compartment along with piles of "bedding" material. They also chewed through several of the video and audio cables for the TV so it no longer worked. Another multi-day project of cleaning, shampooing and rewiring. One problem with an RV is that if you aren't in it and using it regularly many little creatures will make themselves at home. If motorized, it's important to check under the hood too. Mice love making nests in the engine compartment, usually in the air intake manifolding for the engine. |
