Saturday we headed to Bozeman for the Super Yard Sales. In NY we call them town wide sales. We were able to find quite a few. We didn't buy much but it is always fun to look. We did find the Sportsman's Warehouse store though and Jim said he could have spent all day in there as there was so much to look at. They not only had supplies for all sorts of sports, they had large varieties of everything in stock. It Is still cool and very cloudy this morning but it is supposed to start clearing up and warming up a bit after today.  We went into Livingston yesterday since it was raining, visited several shops and got a few groceries.  We overheard several different people talking and everyone (except for us) was very glad to see the rain.  Someone said they couldn't remember the last time it rained all day.  Apparently it has been very dry and they really worry about wild fires in this area.  We have driven through several areas that were devastated by wild fires in years past.   Along the interstates in South Dakota and Montana, they have signs at each exit to say that if the light is flashing, the road is closed ahead. Then there are these bars, like at railroad crossings, that can come down to block the road ahead so you are forced to exit. Obviously these are for winter storms which make the interstate pretty bad. There are also pull-offs along there interstate that are to be used to put your chains on!! We don't have either of these things in NY.
