Rocky Gorge Montana

What a fabulous day today was. It will go into our memory as one of the best rides we've had. We started in Libby and road basically north on Old Haul Road to 37 along Lake Koocanusa. There was virtually no traffic and amazing scenery. Many of the lakes here are turquoise in color and Lake Koocanusa is no exception. We quit early as we are positioning ourselves to be at Glacier not on the weekend. We are at Rocky Gorge campground - a USFS campsite. It's rather primitive with no showers or electricity. But it's beautiful and very quiet. Bears can be an issue so we are storing our gear in a "bear box" for the night. There is also zero cell phone reception so we are glad to have our gps tracker / satellite communicator.

 

There is only one other camper here. Turns out he is an uncle of one of Marcia's former students and knows the Turner Maine area well. Small world!

We are feeling much stronger and are looking forward to Glacier and beyond.

Miles today = 43

Total miles = 867
