July 19th/21st 2009 Keeping track of time Having endured a terrible night - despite its beautiful scenery, Wolf Creek Campground is not a 100 metres from the I-95 with trucks and cars hurtling by at all hours - Nik and I set off for the Big Sky: Montana. We skirted around Moscow before stopping at Panhandlers Pies in Sandpoint for brunch. Hashbrowns, griddle cakes, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and endless coffee refills were in order! As were two to-go slices of razzleberry pie to enjoy at lunchtime. We carried on north through Naples and bypassed Moravia to turn right at B [View Full Entry]

Ok, it sounds crazy to drive all the way to Montana to go camping, but it turned out to be an awesome trip! Originally we were supposed to go up to Utah and go camping with some of our friends that live there, then we were going to drive to Montana from there to pick up my nephews and bring them to Arizona for a few weeks. When our camping plans fell through Jeremy and I decided to just drive straight to Montana and go camping there. We had all the camping gear packed up anyway and had a couple extra [View Full Entry]

Today was our last day at Glacier and what a day we had. We decided to go for distance over elevation and walked the trail along the north side of Lake McDonald. It was mostly level with just a few elevation changes, but meant walking 3 miles from Apgar to the trailhead, 6 miles on the trail and then about 3 miles back to the highway to catch the shuttle bus back to where we left the car. It was quite a trek (12 miles total if you didn't add the numbers), but well worth it. We started by going through [View Full Entry]

Last night I had set my cell phone to get us up a 7:30 am to get a good start on a travel day. It was really cold last night though, so cold that my fully charged cell phone went dead and shut itself off. Fortunately we woke up anyway and got going right away. Yellowstone has a lot of road construction as well, and we knew we would go through one of the sites and have at least one wait of possibly 30 minutes, which of course we hit dead on. We stopped at the Indian CG and dad realized [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Glacier National Park! Next year will be their 100th anniversary and they are already starting the celebration. The park is as beautiful now as it was when we were last here 37 years ago. A new feature which is great is a shuttle bus system that runs east and west across the park. Cuts down on traffic across the park and makes it possible to go on the Going to the Sun Highway and across Logan Pass at 6646 ft. without driving. Makes it much easier to see the spectacular views. We drove it on Wednesday since we wanted [View Full Entry]
