August 28 – Time to say goodbye to Glacier National Park and St. Mary’s, MT. It was pretty cold out this morning but we still got going by 9. We drive down the mountains and of course, we hit bad roads. Looks like road work was in the works but being Sunday no one was working. It reminded us of being back in Canada and Alaska. Gravel and dirt, but with cows thrown in! There is a lot of open grazing here so there were cows on the roads. We couldn’t understand why the cows were in some areas that had no grass or shrubbery, just gravel and black dirt. It was several miles before we finally left the cows behind.
The drive today was a gradual
downhill ride and then we were in huge flat valleys. There was not much traffic at all. The scenery was beautiful but very
different. There were lots of golden
fields of hay as far as the eye could see.
The number of homes was sparse.
We had stopped for lunch at a
rest area along the way and really took our time today as we could not check in
to the campground until 3. We arrived
right on time. We have a nice pull thru
site for the night. Once we got parked
we went into Helena to Walmart and did major grocery shopping. There were some non-grocery items on the list
as well so we had a cart full! We now
have a good supply of meat, veggies and fruits!
We had some of our rotisserie
chicken for dinner with a salad and fresh corn on the cob that was so
sweet. So we are definitely good on
groceries for a while! For dessert we had
some huckleberry ice cream.
