We left Cheney at about 10 am. We thought it would be about a 4 1/2 hour drive. Between a time change to Mountain time, road construction and winding mountain passes, we arrived at our campsite at about 6:15 pm. Regarding our campsite, we thought it would be very close to the Nat'l. Park entrance. It turns out to be 20 miles east of the entrance. The RV park is right on Highway 2, the main road in the area. Our campsite is about 150 ft. from the road so we could hear all the traffic as it went by. Then about 300 feet on the other side of our campsite is the mainline of the Burlington Northern Rail line. Within 2 hours of arriving we had already had 4 trains go by. They didn't shake the motor home, but they were quite loud and seemed like they could. But we had a nice pull-thru site (see previous post) with 50 amp power. The camp host is friendly, but is a dog nazi. Dogs cannot be walked in the campground if there is a remote chance that they might relieve themselves. If that were to happen, they could/would ask you to leave the campground. So Buster is now wearing a diaper...just kidding.
The drive included some beautiful scenery. Flathead Lake is HUGE and very scenic. Great views of distant mountains with glaciers. One eerie thing...an organization in Montana maintains white crosses along the roads where folks have died in traffic accidents. It's amazing the number of white crosses we saw. The worst was right across from our campground where there was one grouping of NINE crosses.
