      Arlee : un powwow en pays Flathead

      July 1, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Nous quittons Missoula vers Arlee en territoire Flathead.
      Il s’agit d’une réserve indienne qui comprend 3 tribues : les Salish, les Kootenai et les Pend d’Oreille.
      Powwow signifie rassemblement et il s’agit cette année d’une vraie grande fête qui rassemble toutes les familles : en effet, cela fait 3 ans que le Powwow n’a pas eu lieu en raison du Covid.

      L’événement est ouvert au public et les gens y sont extrêmement accueillants : riches d’une grande culture, ils sont ravis de nous la faire partager, même si l’événement est plus pour les initiés que pour les novices que nous sommes.

      Nous sommes ravis de voir quelques danses et chants traditionnels.

      Nous y dégustons un Frybread sucré et dansons au rythme entraînant des tambours, sous l’œil bienveillant des mamas et mamies.

      Nous y dormons au milieu des autres camping-cars et tipis…

      Demain, nous irons en bord de lac pour nous rapprocher de nos destinations du 4 juillet et du parc national de Glacier !

      Nordwärts Richtung Kanada

      July 10, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Wie man der Route entnehmen kann, waren wir heute wieder gut mit fahren beschäftigt (also wir = Björn 😁).
      Vom Yellowstone ging es nochmal 630 km Richtung Norden, so dass wir nun Luftlinie nur noch ca. 50 km von der Grenze zu Kanada entfernt sind. 🇨🇦
      Wir waren zwar noch nie in Kanada, aber wir stellen es uns so vor, wie die Landschaften, durch die wir heute gefahren sind: viele Wälder, ein See nach dem nächsten und viele Berge. 🌲🌊🌲🏔️🌲

      Ninepipes National Wildlife Refuge, MT

      July 21, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Sanctuaire pour animaux, cette zone leur est réservée. Nous ne serons pas très chanceux et verrons seulement deux yellow-headed blackbird (« oiseau noir à tête jaune », nous ne connaissons pas le nom français) et un cerf qui nous a longuement observé.

      ————

      Sanctuary for wildlife, this area is reserved for it. We were not lucky and only saw a couple of yellow-headed blackbird and a deer that watched us for a long time.

      Day 9-10. Whitefish to Seeley Lake

      July 22, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Wild forest fires and all the best plans! So the original plan was to go off grid for three days, Whitefish to Swan Lake, then to Holland Lake then finally out of the mountains at Seeley Lake. However, the wild forest fires had other plans for us. We set off from Whitefish and had a beautiful cycle to Swan lake, climbing up through the Swan mountain range. Stopping at Big Fork on route for some brunch. The temperature reaching over 100 degrees by midday making the afternoon cycle petty difficult and very sweaty. We eventually arrived at Swan lake in time to enjoy the water in the late afternoon evening sunshine. So many families enjoying the lake it was beautiful to see. Heading back to camp to make my dried backpackers dinner of mushroom risotto and eat it by the stream, then fall onto my tent as the sun set. Up early at 5am in the dark, putting down tents and packing bikes with head torches, we wanted to head out before the heat of the day. Good job we did, it turned out that wild fires south of us in Holland Lake were spreading fast and causing evacuations. We had to come off the GDMBR route and our plan to stop in Holland lake was not possible. The only option was to head to the highway and try to cycle south fast, to out run the fires . A trail angel Dale who we met at a local store offered to give us a lift in his truck south ensuring that we would be south of the fires before they closed off the main route 83.
      Arriving is Seeley lake we found a campsite and a laundromat where of course you can also take a shower! Ahead of the fires and ahead of schedule, today could have been very different. The universe certainly looked out for us today. A welcome beer in the local “town” then back to the camp site to reflect on the last couple of days and plan tomorrow (or try to).

      Lady of the Rockies

      September 23, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Wir fahren bis Drummond und wollen uns "Our Lady of the Rockies" ansehen. Es ist mit 26 m Höhe die drittgrößte Statue in den USA. Wir stellen allerdings schnell fest, daß man hier abgezockt werden soll. Da machen wir doch lieber von der Landstraße aus ein Foto. 🤔😅Read more

      Missoula

      June 28, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Nous quittons Yellowstone, direction le Montana !
      On nous a dit du bien de Missoula, petite ville étudiante de 200 000 habitants.
      Nous décidons d’y passer 3 jours, à profiter de la vie locale estivale :
      - festival culinaire et musical de rue
      - plusieurs sessions au Splash Montana, un complexe de piscines et toboggans chauffés extérieurs qui ravit Ava et Noah
      - balade en vélo en bord de rivière
      - apéro dans les bars du centre ville le soir.

      Nous y croisons quelques biches en centre ville.

      Surtout, nous assistons à notre premier match de baseball ! Autant le sport n’est pas passionnant en raison de la quantité de temps morts, autant l’ambiance dans le stade est vraiment ce festive et familiale! Les chauffeurs de stade donnent de leur personne pour mettre le feu, à base de tee-shirts gratuits et paquets de cacahuètes lancés aux plus bruyants des spectateurs.
      Un vrai bon moment en famille.

      Missoula [Dienstag, 02.08.2016, Tag 4]

      August 2, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Heute Morgen sind wir wieder weiter in Richtung Yellowstone Nationalpark gestartet. Wir sind heute eine ziemlich große Strecke gefahren und haben jetzt Washington hinter uns gelassen. Nachdem wir auch Idaho durchquert hatten, haben wir schließlich Montana erreicht. Währenddessen hatte ich meine erste Fahrstunde. Während wir fetzige Westernmusik angehört haben, durfte ich vom Beifahrersitz aus lenken. Papa saß entspannt daneben und hat sich prächtig über meine Fahrkünste amüsiert.
      Montana ist ein wirklich schöner Staat. Überall sind Ranchen, mit großen Pferde- und Rinderkoppeln und Grassteppen so weit das Auge reicht. Aber nicht nur die Landschaft, sondern auch das Klima verändert sich zusehens. In Seattle war es zwar angenehm, man konnte aber gut eine lange Hose tragen. Hier in Montana hat es jedoch nachmittags über 30°, und dass obwohl wir eigentlich noch ziemlich nördlich sind.
      Nachmittags haben wir dann in Montana das National Bison Range besucht. Das ist ein etwa 20 Hektar großes Gebiet, indem Bisons, Elche, Rehe, Antilopen und sogar Bären leben. Einen Bär haben wir aber leider nicht zu Gesicht bekommen. Dafür haben wir riesige Bisonherden mit supersüßen Bisonkälbern, ziemlich flinke Antilopen und ein paar Rehe gesehen. Die Tiere leben dort alle frei in riiieeesigen Gehegen, also fast in freier Wildbahn und der Besuch dort hat sich wirklich gelohnt.
      Anschließend sind wir noch ein Stückchen weiter in Richtung Yellowstone National Park gefahren und haben uns jetzt auf einem Campingplatz in Missouli niedergelassen.

      Trek America - Seattle to Missoula

      May 16, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Today was the first day of our Trek America tour and we peeled ourselves out of our last proper bed for 2 weeks to begin this next part to our adventure. Despite the early alarm (5.30am) we were both very excited to meet the rest of our group and start the day.

      We met most of the group at breakfast and the rest when meeting our tour leader as not everyone had stayed in the same hotel the night before.

      Our tour leader/driver is Emily, who advised that this was her 2nd summer as a tour leader. The group is made up of 7 women and 3 men including us. The group (aside from us) are all solo travellers and have their own unique story of why they are travelling.

      We had a huge distance (450 miles) to cover on the first day to our first stop at a camp site in Missoula so there was plenty of opportunity to get to know the other members of the group. Kim chatted to some of the women in the mini bus that will take us from place to place on the tour whilst Alex met the other men. Here is a brief rundown of our group.

      Jade, 27 years old from Australia, is backpacking for nearly a year and has been since early February. Jade booked on the tour only two weeks prior its start, having already travelled in New Zealand and Canada as well as down to Las Vegas and LA in a motor home with 3 other people. After the tour Jade plans to continue travelling to South America before returning home for Christmas.

      Katie, 22 years old from Milton Keynes. Katie arrived in Seattle the evening before our tour and she leaves the day our tour finishes as unfortunately she could only get two weeks off work. Katie rides horses back home and is excited to try western style riding once we reach Jackson as this is one of the optional extra activities we can do there.

      Lowrie, 21 years old from Cardiff, who has been studying at college (university) in Ohio for the last year on an exchange programme. Lowrie enjoyed her time studying and got to meet lots of new people. She has also had the chance to see a little of America during college breaks but wanted to do this trip before returning home.

      Anne, 21 years old from Dublin. Like Lowrie, she has been studying on an exchange programme and has many stories about her experiences of college life to tell. She told us about college frat parties, which are just like in the movies, where there are kegs of beer and 100's of people attending. She told us that the boys have to pay $500 to enter into the frat and it is this money that pays for all the alcohol.

      There are two other girls, Sophie, 19 years old from Germany who is taking the tour as part of her gap year from education and Kim, 36 years old from South Korea. Alex is pleased to not be the old man of the group but she looks more like 21 with her smooth wrinkle free skin. Kim works as a computer programmer and speaks little English.

      The males on the trek are Seokgyeong from South Korea and Matti from Finland. Seokgyeong has been studying physics at Berkley University in the U.S. and he joined the trek as a break after his exams. Matti is using his holiday from work for the trek and will be going for a week's surf school in LA after the trek.

      Thanks to Emily we made great time, arriving at the campsite in Missoula by 6:30pm, an hour sooner than any group previously. We pitched our tents and used a gas stove to make a quick dinner of spaghetti and salad.
      It was not long before everyone retired to their sleeping bags as we had to be up and back on the road by 7:00am at the latest the next day with a 5 hour drive to Yellowstone National Park ahead of us.
