Grey Wolf cabin, Babb, MT

We had a pleasant drive , it was the warmest day yet for our 62nd day on the road. We've driven a total of 8,814.9 miles at 21.9 mpg average.

We stopped and got gas again at Pincher Creek (where Phil fel yesterday, but a different station). The drive to the border took us closer and closer to the mountains.

At the border, we were turned around back to Canada. Even though the firewood we purchased in Alaska was "kiln treated" it had some bark and was out if the package so they made us turn around and go back across the Canadian border to put it in a big bin with other confiscated firewood. There's a burn ban almost everywhere, so we couldn't have a fire anyway.

Our little cabin is small and cozy. Tonight, we're cooking some fresh green beans and some turkey polish sausages on the grill. At 7 p.m., I will try to log onto and get us an entry time to the Many Glacier Valley. If I don't get one, we'll be waiting at the gate at 5:30 am as you don't need an entry pass before 6 am.

The Visitor's Center today at the St Mary's entrance was slammed. We've never seen it this way. It's kind of like Estes Park for Cheryl and Brad Woodford. Makes us glad people are seeing it but a little sad for ourselves.Read more
