Leaving our perch on Morrell Mountain, we wound our way down to the nearest stretch of asphalt — a re-entry lane to civilization. First stop was Helena, Montana, where we only lingered long enough to grab groceries and fuel before hitting the open road again. It had been months since...
Back in the land of the free — or free-ish, if we’re being honest. The border crossing into Montana was uneventful in the best way: no line, no fuss, just a quick chat with the U.S. agent about what the heck we’d been doing for the past six weeks. A...
Before leaving the Whitefish/Glacier area, we stopped in to the Glacier Distillery (recommended by all that have been here) for a sampling. There was no plan to buy any liquor as we still had to deal with Canada’s hate of anything fun (including the import of alcohol) but after sampling...
I could give the story about why this reservoir exists (because humans built a Dam) and why the Dam exists (because we as humans are too stupid and build cities in flood plains) but I’m not going too. Instead, I will give you a link or two for anyone who...
Being parked only minutes outside of Glacier National Park means we had to pop in, at least for a day, before crossing into Canada this weekend. For Kerri and me it was all about checking Lake McDonald off our ‘kayaked’ list. We just couldn’t pass by a good reason to...
Ever since we began heading North, and Whitefish was on our planned route, I have been talking to Kerri about kayaking the Whitefish River that cuts through the middle of town. Kerri, who knows more than I do on the subject, kept telling me that our kayaks are not river...
Not far outside of Missoula is an old ghost town which came to our attention thanks to an article a few months back regarding work-camping the ghost town during the winters. What an adventure that would be, huh? Not that we planned to stay in Montana over the winter, but...
Kerri and I are playing the Chimani game; checking off all the National Parks as we visit them. Even though she has a few more under her belt than I do, I am happy to re-visit places I have been and she has not just so she can get that...
On our last day in the area, Moose and I got out for a much needed hike. Just up the road (about 16 miles) into the National Forest is the Passage Creek trailhead, which leads out to Passage Creek Falls. Moose and I started the hike about noon. Knowing of...
With out final night in the area approaching it has become tradition to hit the town for a cocktail. Kerri is very particular about her food & drink so she always picks to coolest of places to visit. Our first stop was the Mint Bar & Grill – before I...
