  • Gingko Petrified Forest State Park

    18. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌫 81 °F

    Wretched drive out of Seattle due to Friday traffic, LOTS of construction and truck drivers going 30 in a 70 and not putting on their flashers. Rather frustrating to say the least.

    We arrived in time to make dinner and it was SUPER WINDY!!! 💨 💨 💨 Gordie's tent is blowing away along with Patrick! A unique feature of this campsite is that we were able to see it from the road above as we drove to the entrance ⛺️.Les mer

  • Half-Sun Travel Plaza

    19. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌫 72 °F

    Stopped at the nicest travel plaza for gas this morning. They had everything you could need from cowboy hats to snacks to food to wine tasting as well as very clean bathrooms. Excellent place to stop.

    The 14 miles preceding were unexpectedly educational. They listed the crop growing in each field behind the fences on the side of the highway. We saw beans, carrots, potatoes, alfalfa, field corn, sweet corn and green manure. It also informed us that Grant County, WA is the nation's highest producing county of potatoes. 🥔

  • Gonzaga Boathouse

    19. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Just 12 minutes from campus on the Spokane River is the Gonzaga Boathouse. Here they have 6,800' of river all to themselves and it's protected by the hills so the water is usually good and they don't have to miss practices. Website says they can practice outside well into February! They are the only crew team on this stretch.Les mer

  • Glacier - Fish Creek Campground

    20. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    Arrived last night after a yummy stop at Buffalo Wild Wings in Kalispell. It was an eventful night with a squirrel scampering across the camper's roof scaring Maddie into closing her top vent, Gordie yelling/talking in his sleep so loudly we could hear it in the camper and then Patrick fell off his bed so we decided pancakes and a leisurely morning were in order.

    Saw this odd 🚌 camper two sites down. Interesting approach.

    Loving being back in a National Park campground again. Always have the best sites!

    Now it's time to explore Glacier!

  • Laundry!

    21. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    Hooray for laundry! The KOA in St.Mary has coin laundry and we are in need of some clean clothes. Bonus is that there is a playground, delicious coffee and milkshakes next to the laundry. Can't complain!

    Maddie liked this wasp that joined us for the horribly twisty drive from Browning to here.

  • St.Mary Campground

    21. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    This campground is a stark contrast from the west side of the park. Trees are much smaller, but at least we have trees because the sites at the KOA campground were bare. We are right next to the bathroom and everyone loves that. Our own private path there! This campground also offers showers. Another bonus for our hikers who have not quite arrived from their trek across the Going to the Sun road.Les mer

  • Ranger Talk

    21. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 59 °F

    Went to a ranger talk tonight at the campground about the prehistoric animals that used to live in the park. This long stick has two orange flags on it. The first is at 12' and represents how tall the grizzly bear was standing up and the higher one is at 15' to show how far the bear could reach with his paws. Wow! 😳 Check out the bear's skull!!! 🐻Les mer

  • Lake Josephine & Grinnell Lake Hike

    22. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Angus, Maddie and Gordie headed out for a hike around the lakes in the Many Glacier area and returned to Swiftcurrent Lake after a half hour to where Patrick and Sarah were playing to tell them they ran into a bear 🐻!!! 😳 So they changed their route and continued their adventure around two other nearby lakes bear-free. What an adventure!Les mer

  • Little Bighorn National Monument

    23. august 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

    Took a break during our 11 hour drive from Glacier to Devil's Tower to stop and learn about Custer's last stand against the Lakota and the Cheyenne warriors. Custer lost his life and that of more than 260 soldiers, while the Indians lost about 100 in June, 1876. It was one of the last armed efforts by the Northern Plains Indians to preserve and protect their nomadic way of life. Gold was found in 1874 on the Indian's designated land and Americans wanting that gold broke the 1868 Fort Laramie treaty enraging the Indians. Peace could not be made and the army was called in to maintain order. The Indians won this battle, but lost the war.Les mer
