Day 11 (May 27) BURRRRR! Coram Montana


This was the view as we got closer to West Glacier Montana. I think we were around Grand Forks Montana when I snapped this one. Right than and there we knew we were in for cooler temps. And we were right.

Yep, that's snow in them there hills. Drove 306 miles from Lewistown MT to Coram on MT highway 200 and 89. A simply wonderful drive. So scenic. We hit rain well before Browning but it stopped before we got to the RV park. We actually had wet snow for a while while on US 2 between east and west Glacier. The rain started again in the early evening. We are suppose to have cold rain off and on most of the time we are here with temps in the low 30s at night and possibly mid 50s during the day.
Arrived at the RV park http://www.northamericanrvpark.com/  and very happy with the park and to be here. Great views of the Rocky mountains from our site, wide open site for satellite service, great Verizon cell service and free, good, internet. We were told by a very cheery competent desk gal, to drive around the park and pick a spot that suits us. We were also greeted by two of the work camper men and offers to help set up it needed. One of their wives even came out to welcome us and say hi to Petro. I think they are just happy to have people in the park. There are two other rigs besides ours here. I imagine this park gets busy during peak season, but we are a bit early. We have broken out the heavy duty carhartt jackets, gloves and sock hats.
We took a drive into Columbia Falls to make sure we knew where the tire place was to get our new tires installed the next day. Glad we did, as the place happened to be 22 miles farther down the road than we expected. Stopped for a cup of home made tomato soup at local diner, was good and warmed the body. By the time we returned the rain was pouring down. Lots of RV parks/campgrounds to choose from in this area and they all look pretty good. Also lots of touristy businesses and interesting places.  We are going to enjoy our stay here and be very busy if we choose to be so.
