The Circle Travellers Inn

As a continuation of the Richey oddities, shortly after the weather cleared up I grabbed my pillow from the car to put it in the tent, only to discover that although the tarp and outside of the tent had stayed dry, the inside of the tent and my sleeping pad were quite wet. Very unusual. Pulling it out to dry and shaking the tent I decided to pull the car out from under the pavilion and sleep in the car in case the rain came back. Just at that point a cold chill ran down my back and a feeling I shouldn't stay there at all came over me. Having just had the prior experience I listened and quickly packed up the truck. Heading toward the next town on Hwy 200 I was getting tired and wondered where I would sleep. 30 miles later entering Circle, MT I saw a motel but didn't really want to stay. I drove past a small gas station with some women outside so stopped and asked them if there was a campground. They said the only place around was the motel so back I went.

Long story short, the motel was clean, cheap and even had free wi-fi that allowed me to catch up on blogging and a friendly cat that enjoyed a good head scratch. There was also a wonderful new laudromat just around the corner that allowed me to do 2 weeks washing in one load. All in all an excellent choice.
