Finally leaving North Dakota behind us, we had a lovely drive through Montana. John chose to travel the northern Route 2 which was a wonderfully relaxing trip. We stopped for a couple of days at Glacier National Park. What a spectacularly beautiful area. John & Peggy drove the Going To The Sun Road all the way through the park, out the East gate and up to Many Glacier to visit the Many Glacier Hotel. It was build by a subsidary of the Great Northern Railroad in 1914. It is a beautiful old hotel whose architectural style is derived from traditional Swiss designs and is build of materials native to Montana.
The following day, which was a Sunday, we left the beauty of Glacier behind and headed west. About 10 miles west of the little town of Libby, MT, we heard this loud
POOF sound. John pulled over to investigate, and discovered that the left inner dual tire had blown out. We were on a two lane road, so they unhooked the car, and John found a spot where he could turn the coach around. We limped back to town and fortunately, there was an RV park where we could stay until Monday when the tire store opened. We decided we were also lucky that there was a Les Schwabb in town. After getting settled, John & Peggy left to go to the market and find the tire store. While they were gone, I discovered the little driver's window was open, so I hopped out and went to investigate the RV park for myself. (Peggy still can't believe I jumped that far!) Unfortunately, I got caught! The camp host and his wife saw me and decided that I must have snuck out, so they took me back to our coach and hooked me up to my leash. Then they sat and watched me until John & Peggy got back from the market. Boy, was I ever in trouble! I'm sure they'll never leave that little window open again, as they've caught me checking it out whenever we stop!
On Monday, we got two new tires and headed out again for Washington.
