Glacier National Park

Yesterday we drove thru Glacier over the Going to the sun highway.   The scenery was terrific and the weather was perfect.   Took about 250 pictures.  Stayed at Apgar campground on the west side of the park.  Left Glacier this morning and got into the smoke from forest fires.   Could not see very far.  We headed south and took interstate 90 east away from the smoke.  Don't think we are going any farther west.   Tonight we are staying at the Lewis and Clark caverns state park east of Butt, MT.  It was clear and very hot when we arrived but I smell the smoke again.  Not very pleasant. Too slow of connection to send pics.

Cut Bank, Montana

Made it to Cut Bank, MT last night after a long trip over very boring route 2.  Staying in a private campground, Riverview RV Park.  It is about 50 miles to Glacier National Park, which is where we are heading today.  There will be no pictures today as Park WiFi is down along with all phone lines.  The Verizon data card is working, but very slow.  Weather cooler at night, may warm up today, think we will head south for warmer weather.  Will try to post pictures later.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We are camped at a commercial campground in Glasglow, MT.   after driving all day with windy conditions.  We also went through the area of North Dakota that is doing all the shale oil drilling.   It was a real mess with all the trucks on the highway, traffic jams, road building, and the lack of services like gas stations and grocery stores.  If you want a job there are plenty here.   For lunch we had $7.00 cheeseburgers  at a little roadside trailer on the North Dakota and Montana state line.   Very good but expensive.  Yesterday we camped in the Theodore Roosevelt NP.  Camped at a park campground which was along the Little Missouri river.  It was a bargain at only $5 per night for seniors.  In the evening we took the 20 mile loop to see the scenery and wildlife.   Seen wild horses but didn't get very good pics  because it was getting dark and they were running fast.
