Another visit north of the border today, this time to Alberta to visit Waterton Lakes National Park. This park is Canada’s fourth national park, established in 1897. I thought WLNP was going to be Canada’s version of Glacier Nat’l Park, since they are right next to each other and use the same mountain range, but…

Saw an actual wild she moose today. 🫎 All of you that know me, know that I’m obsessed with moose. Can’t wait to start the first Moose Ranch in the US, and start selling moose cheese at $500/lb. Get in on the ground floor, let me know and I’ll add you to the list of…

Today was horseback riding day. Susanne’s sister Laura set this up for us long in advance, so there we went. We went to visit The Clydesdale Outpost Guest Ranch to ride Clydesdale horses! I had seen the Budweiser wagon in a parade long, long ago, but this was my first chance to get up close…

I always said there’s no way I’d ever do that, without a significant amount of alcohol. Susy and I met up with all of our visiting friends and we all went on a lake cruise on Flathead Lake, Montana. Booze cruise / Karaoke. The booze part and the cruise part were right in my wheelhouse.…

We spent yesterday and today in Glacier National Park in Montana. Yesterday started very early, 6:30am, to try for a parking spot at Logan Pass, way up on the Continental Divide in the park. Nope, not nearly early enough, we’re told the lot was full over an hour before we got there. Oh well, there’s…

We headed out early this morning from Coeur d’Alene on a long (for us) four and a half hour drive, and we’re finally parked outside the west gate of Glacier National Park. So much smoke in the air from fires in Washington we can hardly even see the mountains. 😖 Coeur d’Alene is a beautiful…

She didn’t even flinch this time when I said it. 😞 We’ve spent the last several days at Pearrygin Lake State Park outside of Winthrop, Washington. Really nice park on the shore of a small lake and just covered in the greenest lawn grass I think I’ve ever seen. They spend hours each day watering…

They say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but sometimes you don’t even notice it’s gone till it’s back. We moved yesterday, finally leaving the Pacific Ocean behind and heading east. Passing through North Cascades National Park, we were lucky enough to find a place to park the rig, so we stopped…

We spent some time today doing something that I detest… shopping for clothes. Actual shopping. In a store. Picking out clothes and trying them on. Different styles. WTF. For years, my usual method has been to go online, usually Amazon or Kohls or maybe BassPro or JCPenney. Look for the most similar items to what…

We’re taking advantage of being so close to Canada, and went up again today. Their license plates all say “Beautiful British Columbia” and that’s absolutely true. BC is a beautiful place. Mountains, valleys filled with farms and crops, Vancouver and her suburbs are all so clean. A very diverse population here, I’ve heard different languages…
