Today was a MUCH better day for us. Took the day off, so to speak. Had just a little way to travel...only 100 miles, up to Glacier Nat'l Park at a camp site there. Slept in, then did our "errands". Got the jack fixed (had to buy a new one), shopped at Walmarts (!!!), and I got brave and got my hair cut. Its really SHORT! I told her exactly what I wanted, but she had something else in mind. The only good thing is I can go longer between cuts and save some money and it'll take less time getting ready. It also was laundry day. Andy and I did it together. But these days, we do everything together!!This town just east of the park entrance is very small, but seems to have it all. The 6 site campground we are staying in is also a Dollar car rental, motel and general store. Possibly some other business on the side. But all the campers are staying in huge RV's....again, we are the smallest. Across the street is an ice cream store, spoon shop (they make wooden spoons), and the laundry mat. Next to us are some rental cabins. I see no local housing. And that is the town of East Glacier Park. There is a train station, too. Seems it is the highlight of the day when the train comes through.
The picture above is taken at Devil's Tower just west of Yellowstone. Looks like a huge tree stump. This is the place that "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was filmed.
Getting up earlier for some hiking thru the glaciers and mountains. Will write more and hopefully have some great pictures to share....
