Day 26 Road Trip 2015

Well, I guess I got behind again! Since leaving Wyoming we stopped in Bozeman and visited our niece for a few hours.  We were planning on staying at the Bozeman KOA but it was full. The motels were to expensive there, so we cut our visit short. The only place we could find, was a cabin at a KOA in Missoula. So we went there for the night. We had stayed at that same KOA back in 2010.

The next day we went to Safety Lite and had our cracked windshield fixed...yes a victim of a stone back in Colorado!

Then we headed up to Kalispell and Whitefish. We could not afford a room in either town that wasn't already booked. We stopped at the Whitefish/Kalispell KOA and they were out of cabins...but then told my wife, we have a honeymoon cabin we can rent you...but I will show it to you first to see if you want it...humm!

It was actually kind of cute...rustic...but cute. It was almost half the size of their regular cabin...but it had a bed and a roof.. so we stayed there for the night. It was pretty nice. The restrooms/showers were clean and they even gave a complimentary breakfast. It was nicer than we have gotten from most motels for sure.

We found a nice apt. In Eureka, Montana, not far from the Canandian border, over top of a garage/shop on airb&b for a great price. It was private and had all the amenities you would need. The host's are superb to say the least. The apt. Is very neat and clean...and the mountain views...AWESOME! It is so peaceful and quiet...located on top of a large hill/mountain over looking the town...which is only about two miles to the grocery store.

We have the apt. till Tuesday morning checkout..then we will head back down to Kalispell where we had found a travel trailer set up in a private yard for rent.

We will be meeting our friends, Judi and Randal from Ruston, La. there. We will be there for three days...then start heading east to who knows where for now!

We drove the Going to the sun road in West Glacier National Park the morning after the KOA cabin in Whitefish/Kalispell, before heading up to Eureka. Pictures do not, I repeat, do not do it any justice. Absolutely a beautiful drive.

After our first night staying in Eureka, we drove to a National Forest to see an area they call Ten Lakes...and of course we used our GPS and ended up going through two National Forests and traveling about 60 miles of forest roads bringing us about 35 miles south of where we started...never finding what we set out for! It was an awesome drive with some nice mountain, lake, and river views though. The only drawback was the stone, gravel and dirt roads that took us five hours to navigate...the car, nor the wife were very happy about that. But hey, we made it out alive and in one piece!

Last night our hosts offered to drive us to the Ten Lakes for a sightseeing trip in their Jeep! They are absolutely wonderful people. God surely blessed us with this stay for sure!

That's about it for now...you have been updated. Hopefully I can stay caught up! God bless...and thanks for reading my post....pics are on my facebook page (footcruisingamerica). Prayers and blessings...Mike!
