Fairmont to Rexford

Day 30

As usual, we con our way into the lodge's hot springs pool. This gives us a chance to relax, before the first Red Sox playoff game. A little further up in the hills of the camp site, with a great panoramic view, the original hot springs pool is located. Our next goal is to find a location where we can watch the Bosox kick some ass. Missola, MT would be a good choice, but it is a little to far away. So, we decide to get over the border first, then find a spot.

The US border is a funny story. The agent asks us his usual questions. The 2 questions that challenge us is, do we have beef and do we have citrus. We have both (oranges & bologna). He tells us to dispose of both. So, before you can say jack-rabbit, Sully pulls out the rolls & bologna and eats the evidence. Only the oranges are left to give the agent. We are then on our way.

A gas station attendant tells us of the Frontier restaurant/bar (big TV) and RV park in Rexford, MT. That's the spot. We park, watch the game have a few beverages, plus their famous 16oz rib eye steak dinner for $17. The Patriarch of the 180 residents in the town is 78 year old Don Caldwell. He seems to own the town and keeps a close eye on the restaurant. We view numerous deer right outside ChelseaExpress. Not much around this part of Montana.
