The remainder of our time at Rainbow Point Campground just outside of West Yellowstone, Montana was spent relaxing, walking Bella around Lake Hebgen, reading and writing. I also took the opportunity to use an axe for the first time that my step-son Jeremy gave me while we were in Redmond in June to chop some […]

On Sunday, August 14, 2022 we traveled 227 miles from Devil Creek Campground near Essex, Montana to Hellgate Campground (Hmmmm I’m seeing an uncomfortable trend here…), about 25 miles east of Helena, Montana.

Thursday, August 11 was a “do nothing” day for us. We did hope to see the full moon that night from our campsite, but it was too cloudy and overcast. Friday, August 12, 2022 we drove the 30 miles or so back into Browning to get Voyager filled up with gas, find a cell connection

After our drive from the West Entrance of the Going-to-the-Sun Road to the East Entrance, we returned to Nomad at the Devil Creek Campground in the Flathead National Forest. Since we had been up MUCH earlier than our normal wake-up time that day, we decided a nap was in order. Aw, who am I kidding?

Monday, August 8, 2022 we were on a mission. One of the highlights of visiting Glacier National Park is to drive on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. I had done so when I visited here several years ago while working in Montana and I really wanted Cindy to experience that drive as well. There is ONE big
