Today was a cooler day for traveling, sunny early with thunderstorms predicted this afternoon. Jagger was excited about that. After loading up in the Workhorse. I did a final check on Google for our travel plans and pulled away.
Travel Journal – July 7, 2016 Our day started off with a hazy morning, something unusual lately for Jagger and I. We left the Coach for our morning walk around the […]
Many of my ancestors were Cherokee. I know, I know world history – the survival of the fittest. I think I understand most human behavior. But the ultimate process of two civilizations fighting against each other is so tragic and sad.
My plan for camping here was to book a Montana State Park site to get us past the Forth of July holiday. With my resident discount and the senior discount, it’s very affordable. I didn’t make reservations far enough in advance and my options were more limited…
On my hike back I encountered many visitors heading to the falls. I was glad I had an early start today. I may be a bit of a hermit at times and enjoy the solitude of the mountains, without all the tourists 😉

It’s been great here at my “Home Base”, I have rested and had some great family times with my Sister and Brother-in-law. I also completed some needed maintenance on my Workhorse and Coach with a little site-seeing to boot. I’m ready to roll South.
