Summit Campground, Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana


It's been much cooler today. The last few days reached 90 degrees, but today was only in the high 60s.

This campground is just outside Glacier. I've been reading that the campground I want, Apgar, has been filling before 11:00 am, so I'm about ½ hour away. I'll leave early tomorrow morning, get a site and then come back for the trailer.

Right on the southern edge of Glacier National Park:



It's also along a raiload that's had traffic all afternoon. Now, at a quarter to 8 in the evening, it seems to have quieted down.

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone It was a short day. After spending a chilly morning watching the den: I headed back to camp for lunch.

The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
