Here's a map of the second half of our 2024 Summer out-West trip. 23 stops!
We visited the "Scabland" again for the third time....us amateur geologists cannot get enough of the place. In case you've not heard of the greatest flood in US history, here's our blog entry that describes it.

| This is Dry Lake. It was formed by the flood coming over from the upper left. You can see the yellow circle that shows a car down at the bottom to show the immense scale. |
We spent an entire month at one stop in July. Libby, Montana. One of our all-time favorite RV campgrounds. Not much to do there expect to relax, do some home projects and be lazy.
 |
| I did say "relaxing" didn't I? This is during one of our kayak paddles on a nearby lake. |
 |
| Our "front yard" view where we sat every morning and had our coffee |
 |
| Kootenai Falls.....spectacular! |
Then, in August, we started on the road again. First stop: Glacier National Park, both east and west sides.
We stopped at Cheyenne, Wyoming for a week to poke around. Great weather and some drinks.
And a couple of extra photos of our journey....
 |
| Wonderful 4-night stay in Shelby, Montana. It was so nice to see some horizons after a month in the forest of NW Montana. |
 |
| This used to be the greatest sheep gathering place for shipping to the east in the west at one time. Neat little town. Population: 177. |
And we weren't without our troubles....
 |
| Look! Our right door came off one day when I went to open it! |
 |
| This is how we had to keep it refrigerated until I could fix it. Fortunately, I found a local guy that instructed me on how to rivet and weld/glue the latch back together. (we also have an extra frig "downstairs" where we stashed some food so it wouldn't spoil). Gotta love traveling ! |
Okay...there are just too many photos and stops worth showing but you're probably getting worn out now just looking at all these photos. I'll do another one later. Enjoy for now!
Thank you for following us. It's a blast!
