road trip: part 2

Day 5 of the tremendous journey. Boy has it been a long one already, but I've seen some AMAZING things.

On monday morning I got to Glacier National Park sometime in the morning. I took the East entrance in at St. Mary and then took the Going to the Sun Road.

The road was slow going, but it was so beautiful and absolutely breath taking.

I finally made it off the road and got a campsite on the south side of Lake McDonald at Apgar campground.

I was exhausted, so I made some lunch and took a little nap before i headed out again.

I ended up taking a road outside of Glacier back into Glacier to Bowman Lake (very close to Canada)

I came back down, made a campfire, ate some dinner, read a little then went to bed.

TODAY was a totally different matter.

I woke up early, packed up camp, and headed out, looking for a shower.

I didn't have to look long, there was a KOA campground in West Glacier and paid $5 for a shower. Best money I ever spent.

I realized that I really wanted to see a lot of places on this trip, but I also really want to see my husband, and I had a TON of ground cover.

So, today was a travel day. I drove 750 miles and was on the road for way to many hours.

I am currently in a super 8 in Woodburn, OR about 20 miles N of Salem.

The best part of this trip scenery wise was 84 West along the Columbia River and the Columbia River Gorge. 170 miles of pure gorgeous.

Enjoy the pics below, sorry you can't click on them to make them bigger.

Woo Hoo! Self portrait!

I got hungry during a traffic delay, so I got some strawberries out of the cooler and ate them the rest of the way.

In lieu of Jason, I have my trusty companions, my cameras.

Windmills on the Columbia river. (p.s. Windmills are probably one of the only sources of energy that virtually have NO impact on the environment and do not pollute the air, or damage the land around them)
