During our travels the sun came out and we had to turn on the air conditioning, then a few miles late near Conrad, Montana we hit a huge hail storm complete with lighting, pea sized hail and a downpour. The trip ended with 45 mile per hour winds coming into Great Falls, a true weatherman's holiday.
