I drove through four states today starting in SD, going all the way through southern MN, most of southern WI, and I currently sit in northern Illinois- stopped just short of the Chicago traffic. Of note was the Canadian wildfires I first noticed yesterday in SD. I was able to take some pictures in MN.…

I woke up in Billings, MT and now sit once again in Sioux Falls for the evening. Apple Maps initially indicated the drive would be 10 hours. Well, that is if you drive the 80 MPH speed limit the entire way- believe me.. the natives use all 80 and then some! As a result it…

Made the trek from west of Bozeman to the town of Billings. I posted a nice picture this morning from early in that drive. Long drive and my butt was sore but it was worth it to see the buttes of Billings. Billings is spread out over a wide area but it primarily sits at…

I decided to continue posting for a day or two. No cell service at my campsite yesterday so here you go; Yesterday morning, we got up early and drove to Missoula and June flew home (she had a nightmare of a layover and flight to Boston, but that is a story for another time). It…

The main road which cuts across Glacier National Park is known as “Going to the Sun” and it helps connect the east side with the west side of the park. Due to snowpack on the road, you can’t drive straight through the park yet, so we had to drive around to the East side today…

Glacier NP is worth every minute despite us not being able to drive through the “Going to the Sun” rd through the park due to snowpack… it was in the 80’s here today! The ride up the side of McDonald Lake was exceptional and then we hiked up to Avalanche Lake, Falls, and Creek. Most…

We left the cool town of Missoula, MT and headed to Glacier National Park. More incredible scenery including snow covered mountains, pastures, cherry farms, and Flathead lake. We also stumbled upon the village of Bigfork, MT which was on a quaint cove on the lake. Our residence for the next three days is very cool…

Someone is up there shining a light on us as we continued to have great weather and make some great decisions. Our VRBO in Missoula was so close we were able to walk from the house to the restaurant that provided the shuttle service to the concert venue! We walked over the river and actually…

The morning in Bozeman and trip to Missoula was another visual masterpiece! However, that did not match the joy I felt when I got to see June at the airport! We had a nice meal and then went for a hot, but nice hike right near downtown. Looking forward to the show tomorrow! Our waiter…
