. After sampling the “Kamping Kabin” we can definitely agree that it is just a glorified “shed,” which for the price is only so-so value. On the plus side you and drive right up to your door, cook outside your “Kabin” and don’t have to totally rearrange all the stuff that is in the truck!… on the down side you have to walk in the cold to the bathrooms… Statistics Starting Destination: Buffalo, Wyoming Ending Destination: Missoula, Montana Ending Destination GPS: Ooops!

Shay here, from a hotel room in Missoula, MT. We are relaxing in relative luxury for a night before heading up to Glacier tomorrow. We have to drop the dogs off for a stay at a kennel, since they are not allowed in the park. They are not excited about it, as is evidenced by the fact that they are both pouting on the hotel room floor. I think they can smell the bath water coming, kind of like how you can smell a big storm blowing in on the wind. Sorry we haven't been keeping up with the blog.

We had a somewhat lazy morning and left around 11 am. We drove up to Missoula and did our laundry. Mom looked Sherry up in Arlee, up Hwy 93 and called her to leave a message. We drove up and called again from a gas station. We ended up being only 2 miles from her house. She lives way back in the woods with 40 acres and a creek running through the property. Her house was very cool. Cery rustic and right up my alley. We stayed for a few hours with her and she told the girls the story of how Gma Margaret met Judd, Sherry's dad. She said that Gma was about to have a baby (Gma Dawn) and came into Judd's doctor's office (the old Siren hospital in Wisconsin). She walked through a ... read more
