Forest cruise
The pilots should take a tip from the people working the jungle cruise
Many Glacier campground
Turns out s black bear was right behind the campsite while Rusty and Peter set up the tent. The ranger showed up with a shotgun.
Going to the Sun Road
The first full day the road was open and we were on a red bus jammer tour.
Little bit of drama when a little old lady from Texas dressed in a light windbreaker complained of the cold, but the majority of the riders voted to take the top off!
Especially when the driver said to look up at the mountain to see something he was pointing out and Lou said, "I would look if I could see out"
So off the to came and a append tour we had.
Boat ride at St. Mary
Awesome ride. Weather kind of sucked so we were the only ones on the boat with the exception of a reporter who interviewed Rusty and gave Miya photography tips.
On the way to Many Glacier
On or way to Many Glacier we stopped briefly in Kalispell. We decided the only good thing there was the French bakery, where we had delicious espresso and fresh baked bread and pastries. We pretty much cleaned out the place on bead.

Osprey
Rising Sun Campground
Already had the ranger in our camp as a bear was just spotted behind our site. Just a little while later this deer came by. We figure that means the bear is gone.
St Mary, Glacier National Park
Drove from Flathead Lake to the KOA campground in St Mary with a quick stop for groceries and a French bakery for latte's, cappuccino, tea and fresh baked bread.
We pretty much bought out the fresh bread and pastries, they were delicious!
Camping for the next two nights at Rising Sun campground in east Glacier. Tomorrow doing the Going to the Sun Road in the red bus jammer. The road just opened!

Given the choice of electricity or fresh water, Rusty's response: I'd rather have toast than water...

We've had great weather now and are in full tourist mode. This picture was taken yesterday at the Mud Pots. We're on our way to Jenny Lake and a boat ride. I will be recreating my childhood. Stay tuned...

Good night
Such a very good day after such a bummer of a night. Awesome afternoon being tourists checking out the falls, a surf and turf dinner work tofu for the vegetarian. Dessert of smores by the campfire. You couldn't have asked for a better day. About 30 degrees now with some occasional snow flakes. Beautiful evening. Everyone happy and content.
No rain so no leaks...

Roof leak
Chico bound
On the road to Chico. We hung out for a long time at the hot springs (thanks to Bryant and Sierra for the great tip). Nothing wrong with a cocktail and hot water!
On the way to Mammoth....

National chocolate ice cream day
Well, we made it to our first campground. Didn't get here until 9:30. Celebrating the day with Ben & Jerry's.
We're all hooked up and have power and water. Dinner was on the road. Just sandwiches but delicious since we were all starving.
We were at the store for about three hours. Did you know you can park you're RV at Walmart overnight for free. We didn't do that.
We're parked off the Yellowstone river. Going to Chico Hot Springs in the morning, then into Yellowstone.
Long day today but we're all organized and ready to enjoy all now.
Goodnight!
