Camper Adventure: Sunday July 7th- Wednesday July 10th

Glacier National Park... Wow... what to say... I am of the firm belief that this is our most beautiful National Park. Beautiful Views... Oriented towards backcountry hiking... lots of bears... Fewer tourists than the crowds at Yellowstone... Not oriented towards tourism.. nearly as much as some of the other parks... Beautiful display of the glory and power of God... Wow... Beautiful!

Here are some of the views as we awoke from our camper in the morning... WOW!!

ST Mary's Mountains.. these pictures do not do justice to the size and magnificent beauty of these mountains..

On our way out of the campground in the morning...

Can you say beautiful??... or Airstream Catalogue material??.. :)

In the morning we made the most of our stay at Johnson's campground by taking care of some business... we did all of our laundry at their laundry room in the morning. It was convenient to take care of all of our laundry there before heading out. Prices were reasonable. We also got our propane tank topped off. Up until this point we had used about one tank of propane to run our refrigerator and water heater. That wasn't too bad at all for the amount of time we spent living in the camper... almost a month for $17 of propane!!... tell me again why we aren't full timers all the time?? :)

Traci, Jeni, Sadie, Miriam, and Karra on the way into Glacier.... St. Mary's Gate

Good morning everyone... I love sleeping with the kids on the sofa... Did I tell you that I love the camper??

Charlie Estanol came up to visit us at St. Mary's park on Sunday. We had a nice time talking with Charlie about what they've been up to in recent years that we haven't seen them. We had a great visit. It was great to see him!! Charlie was attending a guide school on the West side of the park-- using his GI bill to get acquainted with all of the different skills guides use- tracking, hunting, cleaning animals, caping, taxidermy basics, survival skills, and fishing. He's got me wanting to look into the school as well. What a great opportunity! It was great to get to catch up with Charlie.

St Mary's Lake

Tunnel on the Road to the Sun...

This picture doesn't do it justice, but the water here is really clean and clear... it's crazy to look at it. The water appears to be so clear and it is a bright blue when you see it... amazing.

Butterfly head... :)

We stopped for lunch on one of the lakes for the afternoon.

Bear!! We saw 3 bears during our last night there at the park... it was amazing... the Many Glacier road... was full of bears. We saw two cinnamon black bears, a black bear, and two grizzly bears... WOW!!
