We overnighted in Miles City on Thursday,
July 5th, then headed to Billings on Friday. We met my sister Janet
and her wife Nancy at the Billings KOA. This KOA, established in 1962, is the
world’s first KOA. We enjoyed 18-holes of miniature golf after dinner.
On Saturday, July 7th we drove to
Great Falls where we spent two nights at the Malmstrom AFB family campground.
The host Bill had placed wood barrels around the campground where he had
planted vegetables for the campers to enjoy. Our grandson Connor experienced a
freshly picked carrot growing in the barrel next to our campsite.
Monday, July 9th, we headed up the
road to see Glacier National Park. We stayed for three nights at the West
Glacier KOA. It was our first visit to Glacier. We had tried to visit in 2011
on our way to Alaska but the “Going to the Sun Road” was still closed due to
snow. This year, they didn’t get the road plowed open until June 30th.
Tuesday afternoon all of us rode the free
shuttle from the Apgar Visitor’s Center at the west entrance up to the top of
Logan Pass. The views were spectacular and we also saw some wild life.
Yesterday, we took an hour-long scenic boat tour
on Glacier National Park’s Lake McDonald Wednesday afternoon. The lake water is
crystal clear and we had great views of the surrounding mountains.
We’re off to Washington
and Oregon to meet up with friends Vince & Lisa and see the Columbia River
Gorge.
