After not having WIFI capabilties, we had to wait til we arrived home. We arrived Saturday night, June 28th. Since we last blogged we camped near Glacier National Park for 2 days. We tried to get to the "Going to the Sun" road but it was closed because of snow. We drove up as far as Avalanche Lake and trail. We camped in a national forest site and were the only campers. The camp hosts were there. We then drove to Great Falls Montana to see the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center and also the Charle s M. Russell museum. He was quite a western artist. Then we drove onto Chinook, MT to see the last battle that Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe fought. Then we drove on to Fort Peck, MT, Army Corps of Engineers campground. Friday we decided to really push it and camped in a small town just west of Fargo, ND. Then on Saturday we drove the final leg home. We learned some things on this trip. They are: 1).If the windschield gets buggy, don't worry it will rain again soon and clean it off. 2) Becca can hang on for 12 3/4 hours without going potty if confronted with a hard surface deck on a ferry. 3) If you are careful in an RV you will only kick the dogfood dish ove, twice a day. 4) Canadians pay 29.5 cents tax per liter of gas. 5) Grizzly Bears are huge. In fact they look like haystacks when seen froma distance. 6) Taxi drivers all wear turbins, even in Prince Rupert, BC. 7) It isn't a mountain in BC unless it has a treeline. 8) It snows in MT, WA, and BC in June. 9) Finally, A Dahl porpoise is a member of the whale family. So if you have seen one, you've seen a whale. Thanks for following our trip. It has been the trip of a lifetime. Bill & Beth
