It's taken me all day to get over the Badger/AZ State game last night. Of course, I think it ended wrong, but evidently all the refs didn't! I've read the articles in the Wisconsin State Journal this morning, before we hit the road, and I guess we all have to move on. I have never heard of the refs leaving the game with 15 seconds left! I am impressed with Gary Andersen, the Badger's new coach, as he is just saying, for now, that it's best he doesn't give his opinion of what he thinks.
Today we left Havre, MT and we were glad to get on the road. We weren't all that impressed with the area, but we did get some fun geo-caching in. We drove through miles of grain fields and grain storage bins. In ND it was oil storage bins, and in MT, it's grain. We saw some very old storage bins made of wood yet, and even a grain elevator that was made of wood. I guess the farm girl is coming out in me! We saw lots of big ranches and all of them had a lot of horses, of course. We saw our first sighting of the Rocky Mountains when we reached Shelby.
We are situated in a wonderful campground at St. Mary's MT, and it is at the East Entrance to the Road to the Sun in Glacier National Park. We are high atop a hill, overlooking the valley, the river, and the mountains. This makes up for what we had in Havre! We'll be here for 5 nights and we'll start our adventure here in the morning. Our plan is to drive the Road to the Sun tomorrow, as rain is expected this week and we may be limited as to doing any hiking or seeing wildlife, if it rains. We have loaded some earthcaches to do on the way tomorrow, and they are always fun, as they point out places of interest. I wish I had paid this much attention to this sort of thing when I was in high school!
I will share a couple of signs that we saw along the road this week. One was coming through a reservation area, and it read, "Family Violence is Not a Native Tradition". The other one was in Rudyard, MT and it read, "Rudyard - 596 nice people and one old store head."
I'm sure we will have some beautiful pictures to share with you after our trip into Glacier. We expected to see more fall colors by the time we got here, but it will be coming soon. We were 72 degrees here when we got in, but it is to dip into the 30's this week. As long as there is no snow, we don't care!
