| Leaving KOA Campground |
Woke up packed and
headed down to the KOA Pavilion for Pancakes. Two motorcyclists in cabin next
to my tent site, Dave and his brother Steve from Minnesota, joined me. Both,
Vietnam Veterans who served in country together, but one in Navy other Army.
Interesting conversation, including a story about their younger brother who was
always AWOL and they had to bring him back to base several times till he was
dishonorably discharged…
I entered Glacier National
Park from the east side, and I couldn’t ask for a better day! Two hours later I
decided to head for Yellowstone National Park, then continue south through
Grand Teton National Park, and Jackson Hole before turning west for Seattle to
meet Walter on Friday 08/02/13.

| See how well they blend in |
Most of the ride was
spectacular scenery, others not so much: flatland or walls of trees. Weather
started to close in on me so I turned off the highway at Anaconda, MT and found
a neat RV Campground. Nancy the owner told me a severe thunderstorm just passed
through and we’d probably get more before it ends. The price of a cabin was
more than I was willing to pay, so she offered me a Tee-Pee. Hell, I’m not too
old to try anything new… it was great!

| Had to bend a little getting in & out |

| Surprisingly no rain came through that big hole in the center |
After stowing all my
gear in the Tee-Pee, I walked to the Fairmont Springs Resort for dinner. Of
course on my return to the camp the sky opened up on me, oh well.
