Thursday, August 22 After some deliberation on where to go next, we decide to go to West Yellowstone. We drove through the Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve in Idaho. It was really interesting but kind of eerie. It consists of 750,000 acres of lava. We got to West Yellowstone at 8:00 and […]

Wednesday, August 21 When we got to the hotel the night before, we looked at the map to decide where we would go next. We realized how close we were to the Palouse area, a place I’d wanted to go but never thought I’d get to. So off we went! After we drove around the […]

Tuesday, August 20 We left the hotel and drove south on Highway 93. The whole area around Flathead Lake is absolutely beautiful! We drove on to Ravalli, MT, to find the place where we’d gotten Lambert cherries the year before. Happily we found the place and there were cherries to buy. When we left there […]

Monday, August 19 We left the hotel at 10:05, got breakfast, ice and gas. We then headed on to Glacier National Park. On our way, we saw this grain elevator. In order to get a picture of it, we had to turn onto a side road. On the side road, we found these old trucks. […]

Sunday, August 18 We checked out of the hotel at 9:35. It was 47 degrees and clear. A little cool but actually felt pretty good for the middle of August. We filled up the truck with gas and then went looking for a grocery store. We needed Dr. Pepper, DBs and sticks. We got breakfast […]

Saturday, August 17 We got a late start–left the hotel at 10:25. We decided to go to Glendive, MT, and see some new areas that we hadn’t seen before. We checked into the Holiday Inn. Tommy went across the street to CC’s Cafe and got dinner. His chicken fried steak was huge. Food was good! […]

Friday, August 16 We checked out of the hotel at 10:15 so we could check back into a different room later. We had to fill up the truck, wash the windshield so we could see where we were going, and get ice for the cooler. Then we were off to hunt for sunflowers. We drove […]

Thursday, August 15 We got on the road at 9:20. Our final destination of the day was Pierre, SD. But we planned to wander on our way there. The route we took was North Dakota into Montana and then back into North Dakota before finally arriving in South Dakota. We traveled down the western border […]

Wednesday, August 14 We left the hotel at 9:15 and filled the truck up with gas. We loved the cool mornings! Thinking that we would find a cafe somewhere, we left Grand Forks and headed west on Hwy. 2. It was a long time before we found breakfast. We did find Penn, ND, though. We […]

Tuesday, August 13 We left the hotel at 9:00. It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day–65 degrees and clear. Our plan was to take US60 to St. James and then MN4 north. Weren’t sure how far north we would go, it would depend of what we would see. We saw a […]
