OK, this being retired on the road is hard work. It has been a whirlwind last week here in Montana. We got to Glacier and got settled in our campsite, Peg and Bill arrived and we were stuck on go. I fell asleep every night BEFORE my head hit the pillow. So much fun and so many adventures to share. For now, just a few things to share.
We drove along Flathead Lake to get to Glacier and it was stunningly beautiful. The lake is surrounded by the cabins of full and part-time residents along with many orchards. After passing far too many signs advertising fresh cherries, I finally pulled over and bought 2 lbs of cherries for $4. This post and picture is for my friend, Renee! They were soooooooooooo good. Unlike Renee, I shared and didn’t try to eat them all myself.

We neared Glacier National Park and decided since it was so hot, we should stay at a campground with electricity for a few days. As many of you know, we are totally “whores for the juice,” and if possible, we are getting worse rather than better. Perhaps an intervention is in order but until then, three cheers for connectivity and hot water for showers. We made reservations at the Glacier Campground outside the park not quite knowing what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to see our site:

After we spent about 20 minutes getting Big Lil backed into the exceptionally tight spot, Kim and I were patting ourselves on the back when we turned to survey the lovely view from our campsite:

Yes, it was Nancy, Kim and the Clampetts! While my first impulse was to pack up and find another RV park before the strains of the theme from Deliverance could be heard at sundown, but we ended up staying 5 days and having a huge time. Once again, never judge a book….
Stay tuned for stories and pictures from Glacier National Park!

As I mentioned on the phone, back in 2005 or 2006, Dolores and I were at a Kueffler family reunion at Glacier. We stayed in a KOA Kabin with one electric plug. It was 112 degrees. We bought a fan and I laid in bed in front of it most of the time. It was only a year or two after the bus accident. When we returned home, I determined that I would not buy a camper without an air conditioner. It has proved to be an excellent decision! If you swing by here, I’ll run you through generator 101 and show you how independent you can be with two Honda 2000i units. I’m glad you are having such a great time. This is what early retirement should be!
