Whitefish

Tuesday, September 3, 2013

Up and at 'em early this morning as we want to get to Whitefish and find a place to stay for the next couple of days. We will use Whitefish as our home base for visiting Glacier.  It is about 30 minutes away from the park.  For the first time in 21 days on the road, it is raining.  We've had a few sprinkles here and there but have never had to pull out our rain suits. This morning, we did.The drive from Bigfork was not long, though, we stopped and had breakfast and after checking things out, decided to stay at the Whitefish KOA.  They have cabins in addition to regular campsites and we looked at both.  It turns out, the cabins are cute on the outside but literally have a bed and bunk bed on the inside.  No more room really than our camper, no restroom, no bedding....very basic.  We decided to stay in our own place.  :)  I think I'm becoming an outdoor girl!  One funny thing about the campground is that there are free roaming tiny ponies, llamas and sheep!!  We thought we were seeing things.  A pony came right into our campsite while we were playing Gin this afternoon under our canopy.  Too funny.
It was a quiet evening.  We went for a walk around the park, then Rick went to the hot tub and I read. It felt good to just relax.  Maybe that's why it rained.  :)   Going to the Sun Road tomorrow.  Happy trails.
