    After two travel days, we arrived tonight in Libby, MT. We stopped in Richland, WA (Horned Rapids RV Resort) and Spokane, WA (North Spokane RV Resort) on the way.

    Polebridge

    31. heinäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We drove 30 miles up the western side of Glacier Park. Much of our journey was over unpaved, dusty and bumpy roads with sparse tourist traffic. In addition to seeing beautiful sights, the reward for making the trek was buying fresh baked huckleberry bear claws from the bakery at Polebridge Mercantile. In addition to the store built in 1914 is a saloon next door and a BBQ place about 4 miles away. The BBQ was delicious - accompanied by Moose Drool on tap!Lue lisää

    Road to the Sun

    1. elokuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Today we rode the iconic Red Bus built in 1936 to the continental divide at Logan Pass. Spectacular views of the glaciers and Logan Falls. The glaciers carved the mountains forming a narrow arete (The Garden Wall) on top -- the backbone of the divide.
    Another hot day with temperatures still hot even at the top of the mountain. No need for those wool socks we bought for the trip!    Lue lisää

    Today we drove to Whitefish, MT-- a cute Western town with lots of shops and restaurants. Then back to Glacier National Park to McDonald Lodge from which we took a boat trip on the lake. The classic boat was built in 1938. The perspective of the mountains from lake level was quite different from the view from the Road to the Sun.Lue lisää

    Buffalo Bill Scenic Highway

    11. elokuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Today we left Yellowstone by driving through the park from the west gate to the east gate. We had several delays due to bison crossing the road. In order to reach the east gate, we had to cross the Sylvan Pass at 8520 ft. on a narrow road nestled between Avalanche Peak(10566 ft.) and Grizzly Peak(9948 ft.).
    After leaving the park, we drove along the Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway to Cody. We followed the river surrounded by rugged red rock cliffs.    Lue lisää

    Medora, ND

    14. elokuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    After an overnight stay in Miles City, MT, we drove along the Yellowstone River into the Badlands to Medora, ND. We walked around the historic Western city after getting set up in Red Trails RV Camp. Tonight we feasted on Pitch Fork Fondue. The cooks put sixteen ribeye steaks on the tines of a pitch fork and then stick the fork in a vat of boiling oil! It was actually good with all the fixings. We ate outside on the top of a mountain. After dinner we walked over to the Burning Hills Amphitheater and saw the Medora Musical. It is the tallest outdoor amphitheater in the U.S. the show which has been going on for 60 years was wonderful.Lue lisää

    Nappanee, IN

    We spent five nights in Nappanee, IN, the home of Newmar. We wanted to take a tour of the factory where our Dutch Star was manufactured. While staying there, we asked if they would fix a few minor warranty issues. They graciously worked us into their schedule while letting us stay in their RV Park. During our stay, we were able to explore the Heritage Trail and the Amish countryside. We loved seeing their farms and beautiful horses and homes.Lue lisää
