Thanks to my brother, Charlie, who helped me set up this blog so that Curt and I could document our cross country trek and share our experiences with family and friends. The story starts when we left Fairchild AFB, one week after retirement. Our trip will take us to Florida, by way of Canada and everyplace in between.
So we packed up the trailer and headed out of Fairchild Air Force Base and headed East toward Glacier National Park.
We started out across 90 and the WAZE app wanted to send us down to Mizzoula and then up I 93, but we decided to take a detour and head up North at Saint Regis at MT 135 (Exit 33) and followed the Clark Fork River. It was a beautiful drive and probably much better that over 90 to Mizzoula. But WAZE did have a brain fart, when it sent us down a road where they were doing construction and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a flag man to let us go and then followed a dude who went 15 mph for 15 miles, no lie. SOOOOOO SLOOOOOW.
So after this detour, we headed back to US 2 and headed into West Glacier MT. We decided to get our camping feet under us, since we have not gone “camping” in over a year and a half. We picked a KOA for our first camping trip. It was a bit expensive, but it was familiar to us. Curt made the reservation back in April for the trip and when I was reviewing our reservation on our way to the campground, I noticed it had us reserved for just 2 days: arriving Saturday and leaving on Monday. Ohhh Nooooo, we were supposed to stay until Thursday. We called the campground and told them we were supposed to stay longer and they found a way to make it work. We have beautiful site that is in the shadow of a big Mountain.
We met our neighbors, they went to Glacier yesterday and told us what to expect when we go there tomorrow. The KOA is pretty nice, we have an upgraded site that has a graveled patio and a grassy area for Daisy to lay out in the sun. We have an East facing site that keeps us in the shade in the afternoon. The place has a heated pool and an adult pool and spa. We hope to check it out while we are here.
