Movin' West - Day 18

First of all, let me aplogize for the delay in sending out the links to web albums. Our internet access, when we had any, was very slow, and I was not patient enough to wait for the photos to load into the albums (I would have been up for about 18 hours completing them).

The photo above is of the campground we are staying in tonight in West Glacier, MT. We arrived here at 3:00PM. The campground is very nice - grassy sites, plenty of sunshine, and nice people. Our trip today took us from Butte, MT (a Super Wal-Mart parking lot) through Missoula, MT (home of the "Grizzlies" - Univ. of Montana), and on to West Glacier. The trip has been quite scenic and relaxing, meaning no huge mountains to cross. We made a stop in Missoula at an RV Dealership which had advertised in signs on I-90 that it was selling propane at the ridiculous price of .99 per gallon! The dealership was just off the highway, and easy to get off and back on. However, as we pulled up to the propane tank, we noticed a sign stating that they had "run out of propane due to the high demand for it"! Duh!! If you sell it for .99/gal, don't you think that users would flock to the location to buy it??? Keep the f-ing tank full, or take down the signs on the highway!

Anyway, we left Missoula, sans propane, and continued on to West Glacier. The rest of the trip was scenic and uneventful, and we arrived safely. After dinner, we took a short drive into Glacier N.P. to see if the Visitor Center would be open - it wasn't. Tomorrow we will rise early and head into the park again - this time hoping to catch the sunrise on "Going to the Sun" road, which, as we understand, is under construction and closed about 16 miles in. Our luck - we should have come in earlier in the month, as most of the tours and other attractions close as of September 15th!

That's all for today! Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventures.

Here are the links to all of the missing web albums. I finally got a good connection and was able to upload them all. Happy viewing!
