Devil Creek Campground, Flathead National Forest, Montana


Today I drove over the entire Going to the Sun Road, starting from the west side.

I started at MacDonald Lake:



It's hazy all over the park. I was told it's from the fires in California.

More waterfalls were seen:



But no wildlife. The roads are so busy – almost every turnout is filled with cars, every parking lot has cars circling waiting for a spot to open, all the trailheads are filled to capacity. The wildlife is staying away from the roads.

I'm here until Thursday morning. One day I want to take a trip up to Waterton Lakes Park in Canada. But I need to get in touch with the Credit Union so they don't block my cards in I use them in Canada before I told them I'd be there. That means finding cell service with T-Mobile. Not an easy task here.

This was from just over a mile away: And, of course, none compare to the Canon stuff at close range:

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.
