We headed over to Whitefish today—a small town about 25 miles from where we are staying at West Glacier KOA Resort. It was recommended several times by various people as a place to see. The wooden beams, window boxes, and hanging flowers reminded me of Burlington, VT (but much smaller) mixed with some Colorado mountain…
Day 16 – Glacier National Park, Montana and Avalanche Lake
Day 16 and going strong! I guess I slept wrong last night because I woke up with a crick in my neck. I still worked out, but it made me cranky. We finally left the house around 10:30 am because when Keith was flushing the black tank this morning (here we go again!), Keith noticed…
Day 15 – Going to the Sun Road, Glacier National Park
Today we spent the whole day going to the sun. Going to the Sun Road is the main drag through West Glacier National Park apparently and where all the hikes go from. There is a north section of the park that has a hike Keith did with his parents that borders Canada and then the…
Day 14 – Leaving Great Falls and headed to West Glacier KOA right outside Glacier National Park
After a workout, I caught up on our travelogue (I like that name!) and we grabbed some pancakes when the girls arose. We got out of Great Falls around 10 am and headed out on 15 toward Glacier! About a half a mile down the road Keith thought our trailer had a flat tire…but it…
Day 13 – Great Falls, Montana, and KOA
We didn’t feel like doing too much today and needed to do laundry and stop at the Walmart. So we took a 10 minute drive to Great Springs State Park after the KOA’s free pancakes (“these don’t taste like ours”), fed some fish, stopped at an overlook, and headed for lunch. The lady at Ford’s…
Day 12 – Leaving Hardin KOA in Hardin MT and Heading to Great Falls, MT
This one-night stand was pretty painless. I really enjoyed my morning work-out to the windy sunrise with the baby Western Kingbirds in the tree right outside our camper. It was 50 degrees, so I had to wear a flannel and hoodie for the first part and I kept getting distracted and taking pictures of the…
Day 11 – Leaving the Black Hills, SD and heading for Hardin KOA, Montana + Little Big Horn National Memorial on the way
Packed up quickly and got out of the park by 9 am. This is in part to me waking at 5:30 am with no alarm and just deciding to get up and do my workout. I also am getting the pre-night work-out prep down so I just get up, light the flame for the coffee,…
Day 10 – Black Hills National Forest: Mt. Rushmore, Sylvan Lake, and Dinosaur Park
Another long day in the books. It took us a while to get out the door after getting home late: we picked up pizza and groceries and got home right before a lightning storm. We decided to leave Goat Dog in the trailer today and then brought the WIFI with us and had to turn…
Day 9 – Black Hills National Park: Crazy Wonky Horse of a day
We had planned last night, but this morning during my work-out (which ended abruptly a few reps shy of complete when my phone died and wouldn’t recharge outside) I remembered I had a meeting on Zoom. It was the final installment of my NCCAkron Dancing Lab Residency (read: really wanted to be able to culminate…
Day 8 – Leaving Badlands and Landing in Rush No More RV Campground in Sturgis, SD
We are learning as we go! Packing up in Badlands, we walked Goat Dog, did the potties, etc. Realized the bolts on our strut bars were loose and something that needs to be added to the departure list. We also added, “dump out Goat Dog’s water bowl!” That would have been a big mess to…
