Day 13 &14 - Rain Rain Go Away!

It is not about the destination
It is all about the journey 

We are truly having a journey. 
May not be perfect, 
but than we never expected perfect. 
We simply want to 
make memories
have fun
and leave a mark

Not much to report. Saturday and Sunday were sort of bummers with lots of rain snow mix, wind and cold. We reached a whopping 46 degrees Saturday!


Stopped in Hungry Horse to view the dam and take scenic tour on back roads. 


Saw these little deer trying to decide if they wanted to cross the dam or not.


This button buck was trying to encourage them to come on up the hill, which they eventually did.


Took the truck into Whitefish for oil change, get new-extra battery for camera, and new walking leash for Petro. Took another back road on the return trip and again saw some really great scenery, lots of old ranches and cloud covered mountains. Stopped at a western art/antique store for browsing but not a thing we couldn't live without. Sure was fun and we did see some really great unusual things.

Got a call from DJ who reports he is going to beat us to Alaska, as he is being deployed with his Hot Shot crew to help fight the Alaska wild fires. Hummmm, sort of makes us wonder, first tornadoes in ND, snow and closed roads in MT, now wild fires in AK.

Our plan was to tour the east Glacier park and all it's beauty on Sunday than head into Canada on Monday. Well, that was not to be. It rained all night and continues to rain (sometimes mixed with sleet) as I write at 3pm. So, we decided to extend our stay one more day and tour the park tomorrow.
Did laundry, got a movie from the park office, put a pork roast in oven and baked chocolate chips cookies. A good hunker down day. We also did more planning for our trip through Canada and researched additional mileage and possible places to stay along with assuring our banks know we will be traveling and not decline our cards. We will be sooooo ready to head out Tuesday morning. I can't wait to soak in the hot spring pool.
