2023 - West - Montana (West Glacier to St Regis) - August 21-23

 August 21 - We all took a cool rainy drive around Flathead Lake thru Kalispell and Polson. Tried to see Kerr Dam outside of Polson but all entries at the top were closed for road construction. We managed to find a dirt road down to the base but could still not see the dam. 




August 22 - Today was deep-cleaning day - you'd be surprised how much sand gets everywhere when you hike as much as we have. 


August 23 - Driving out of West Glacier Village will make anyone with a big RV cringe. Jim & Jill took pictures of us driving under the train. Yes, we scraped a little but only a small antennae.


The drive to St Regis Montana was wonderful. We did drive through Paradise MT where 4 days before they closed the roads because the fires were so intense. At one point we saw where the fire jumped the road and burned down a barn down a barn on the side of the road.  Small fires were still burning but roads were open. In the middle of the picture below you can still see two places with a little smoke coming through the trees.



Here we are driving thru this amazing landscape (Thanks Jill for the pic)




Nugget RV Resort in ST Regis had a small ghost town. Jill was trying to drum up a little business to pay for the trip.
