We are now outside Glacier Nat’l Park in the land of huckleberries! I thought the Dole Pineapple Center had the corner on items made from or about fruit. Here it is all huckleberries. Supposedly they only grow wild, but there are tons of them around here. In fact we have them growing in our campground, and I have already tasted them.
We left Missoula at 10:20. The drive was a bit windy, but it was beautiful, especially around Flathead Lake. We arrived here at 1:30 and got to our campsite. Mountain Meadow RV Park is really a small (52 sites) campground cut into a forested hillside. We have trees around us and can see the mountains through the trees. We got all hooked up, and then we headed into the tiny town of Hungry Horse to the grocery store which is a decent one for the size. Bill decided we needed a huckleberry milkshake which we shared. It was really quite good, a little sweeter than blueberry.
We drove to Hungry Horse Dam to take a look. That was a pretty 4 mile drive, and the dam is rather impressive. They have a small visitors center and give tours which we might do one day.
Bill grilled hamburgers tonight. It is supposed to get down to 32 degrees tonight. Good sleeping weather. Tomorrow we will make our first visit to Glacier. This should be a pleasant 12 days.
