Montana-Bound, Moab UT

Today we hung around camp and did chores: laundry, coach maintenance, literature organization, trip planning and naps. It was really too hot to do much else, although some clouds did develop in the afternoon that provided a little relief from the heat.

Our original plan (as it were) had us leaving Utah and heading to the Yellowstone area for a while, then going on to Montana to meet our friends in Kalispell on July 28. Upon further consideration, we have decided to go directly to Montana and skip Wyoming. Dorcas and I have both been to Yellowstone several times, but have never been to Glacier National Park or Montana. While we would really like to watch the wildlife in Yellowstone and the Tetons, we felt that we would rather spend our remaining time in Montana.

It is 908 miles from Moab to West Glacier. We will leave Tuesday morning, shoot up I-15 through Salt Lake City and Idaho and get there when we get there, probably sometime on Thursday. We hope to stay in either Fish Creek CG or Apgar CG, both near the west entrance. Both campgrounds appear to have had good availability the past few weeks.
