USA Day 12: Seattle to Arrow Mtn Ranch

Will advised us to leave plenty of time ahead of our 11:45 am flight, so we left the house at 8 to get to the Hertz place by 8:30 and have time to battle traffic. That was good advice, and we had an interesting Uber ride to the airport from the Hertz rental place with 'Angela'. When I first connected with her, she was very abrupt and grouchy so I quickly warned Rhodri as we were loading our 8 bags into her teeny tiny Prius! The kids and I sat in the back seat with our largest bag across our three laps while Rhodri sat shotgun and worked his charm.

Angela turned out to be a pretty interesting person who was in the process of cashing in her work and life in Seattle in order to hit the road in a kitted out camper van. Anyway, we had a good chat making our way through morning traffic.

We arrived in Billings around 2:30 pm, picked up our rental car and headed towards Bridger. On the way we realized that we still didn't have any cowboy/ riding boots for Tryfan, so we stopped a few different places and then gave up and just headed to the ranch. Boy were we glad to arrive into the welcoming arms of Aunt Judy and Uncle Joe!
