A New State - Montana July 30-31, 2014

Along Highway 2 we went. A 185 mile move from Sagle, ID to Kalispell, Montana. Highway 2 is a great way to make this trip. The elevation is gradual so you don't need to work the truck too much. A good way to cross the Rockies. And beautiful mountain views, very foresty.

We did hit several areas of construction where we got to shut the truck off for maybe 10 minutes at a shot. One place where they had the road stripped down to a dirt road. Man! Is our rig dirty .. or what? Yes!!!

We arrived in Kalispell and had planned to possibly stay at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. After driving through the totally empty RV area and noticing the electrical peds were just 15 amp breakers, hmmmm. Too hot, need AC. Plan B

We went to the Kalispell Elks Lodge # 725 and got the last spot. Cool. 30 Amps, water and $20.00 a night. We are good!

And it was time to add a new state to our States Visited map.

Thursday, we took a drive up the road. After seeing giant eagles in Libby,

we headed toward Glacier National Park.

We parked at the Apgar Visitor center, checked out the place, got our passport stamped, and waited for the 'Going To The Sun Road' shuttle bus.

Glad we didn't drive up. The road is NARROW! The views are incredible. Photos just can't do it justice, but here they are:

The first of 3 stops in Montana.
