Glacier National Park Adventure

What a beautiful day! We visited Lake McDonald, Two Medicine, and Many Glaciers. The drive was beautiful. We saw moose(mom's and baby), mountain sheep, and grizzly bears. 

Russell "got his raptor on" and did get some video on the go-to of windy parts of the ride. You can guess what kind of ride it's going to be when he pulls out the go-to and there are no guard rails. All I can say no one can ever call me a sissy. Haha

Fun filled day of awesome memories. We having a great time staying flexible and flying by the seat of our pants.  I feel so grateful that one or the other of us is either thinking or saying what the other is thinking or saying. :)

Continental Divide

We reached the Continental  Divide!! So magnificent!! Alot of elk hunters up here.

Good morning from Whitefish, Montana

Good morning everyone. This is Day 5 for us. We are amazed at our lodging. We are at the Pine Lodge. I booked a site so we would have a kitchette, not realizing what all came with it. It's  a room unit on the top floor, vaulted pinewood ceilings, jetted tub, fluffy king bed, fireplace, great room with kitchette and dining area and pet friendly.  I don't have any pictures yet because we dropped our stuff last night and went to eat. However I do have a video that I took from our balcony this morning. For those wondering about the nightly rate. It's only $143.00.

We are headed to Glacier NP today. More to come. Thanks for coming along on our journey.

Big Timber, Montana

The road to Glacier NP. These are shots along interstate 90 at a rest stop. It actually had a dog run for Cubby to use.

Good Morning from Billings, Montana

All I can say is wow!! It is beautiful here. Crisp 54 degree morning. Cubby and I saw beautiful mountains and heard the train off in the distance on our morning walk. Lots of trains out this way and through North Dakota.

We stopped briefly on interstate 94 in the middle of nowhere, no lights, and go a gander at the stars. The sky was clear and we have never seen so many stars!!! We saw the milky way too. I was scared a bit because when I say in the middle of nowhere I mean nowhere because there were no services or signs of human life anywhere. The beauty of the sky took over my fear and voila we are filled with the joy and awe of the moment.

Gas prices have increased a bit to $3.21. We stayed at another Best Western Plus. It's a big log cabin with black bear and elk motifs. Clean, comfy rooms with leather chairs. Reminds me of our lodging at Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. Another stellar rate. No pet fee and $100 for the night. I saw families with and 4 dogs. The BW had a water park inside too.

Cabela stores are prevellent out here. I see bear motif and boots in my future. :)

Side note: We ate in Fargo, ND and did not really see another place to stop again until Billings. It was a beef jerky and car snack kind of dinner. I almost got an MRE out of our survival pack. :)

We are headed to Glacier National Park today. We will be there until Sunday. It is amazingly beautiful beyond words.
