Epic Road Trip, Day 3

After several days in the mountains with no cell service, we finally found a friendly Starbucks in Great Falls to update our blog.  So far we are loving the trip, although it has been rainier, windier, and colder than we ordered.

Day 1: Flathead Lake
We stayed at a gorgeous little campground right on the lakeshore.  The weather was perfect!

Day 2: Glacier National Park
The next day we drove up and through Glacier on the Going-to-the-Sun Road.  The scenery was stunning but the road slightly scary.  There was construction all along it with construction workers wearing full climbing harnesses!  At the top of Logan Pass, it was sleeting, so we headed down quickly and pitched camp at Rising Sun Campground, which was cold and wet but protected from the wind by some trees.  It rained all night and into the morning, but we learned that our tent is so amazing that even when the tarp underneath collects a puddle of water, we stay dry!

Day 3: Moving toward Yellowstone

Since it was still raining, we decided not to hang around any longer and packed up in a hurry.  On our way out we stopped for some hot showers to cheer us up.  Since then, we've been driving through alternating storms and sunny weather toward Yellowstone National Park.  We'll be there a couple days, probably without service, but we'll update after that!
