White Sulphur Springs

Friday & Saturday, Aug. 30th & 31st.

We left Red Lodge Friday morning and headed north.  Whitefish, MT/Glacier Nat'l Park is our next big stop and we're planning on 3 days to get there.  We never know our exact route until the night before or morning of.  We just look at the state map and figure somewhere around 200 miles in the general direction we're heading.  Friday's ride took us to White Sulphur Springs by late afternoon. They had five campgrounds listed so we looked at a few of them and decided on Conestoga CG.  It was in a large, flat valley surrounded by mountain ranges in the distance. Very nice facilities and the people were so very nice.  We were the only tent among several larger RVs so they all thought we were "cute."   Not sure what Rick thought about that. Well, we liked it so much we decided to stay a second night and scouted out the surrounding area.  Hiked up to a pretty waterfall and visited two nearby mining towns with a lot of history and beauty.
Then Saturday night at the park Ice Cream Social, we hear about the Labor Day Celebrations.  A big PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo is being held in town Sunday & Monday. Seeing a rodeo is big on my list so.....who knows, we may be here a third night.  Happy trails.
