Straight from Spokane (pronounced 'spo-can,' who knew?), Washington, I bring you a special edition of Not Me Monday as we continue our adventure across the country...
Montana Edition
Well folks, we did NOT like Montana at all! Of course, when we first got there on Thursday, we were not at all stressed that we could not find an open campsite in the entire park. I hate for things to be planned and run smoothly, so I LOVED this. I did not cry. Not a single tear, complaint, or whine.
We did not finally settle at a KOA campsite approximately one mile outside of Glacier National Park. Jeff did not think this was "cheating," and I totally HATED the resort-feel of the hot tub, pool, and full restaurant steps from our campsite. In fact, we were both totally devastated that we had to stay at such an awful place for three nights... I, for one, had really been looking forward to no shower and pit toilets!
As you can see, our campsite was terrible. We definitely did not have cell phone service and wi-fi OR order delivery pizza for dinner... That would be 100% UN-Camper!! And, we certainly did NOT appreciate the peaceful sound of the creek running beside our tent in the mornings ONE BIT. Our tent was WAY too small, and we did not sleep comfortably at all. In fact, we were totally freezing because Glacier did NOT have an unusually hot week AFTER we spent tons of money in Helena on "winter" clothes.
Overall, I do NOT recommend camping. As you can tell from the above photos, it is utterly disgusting and primitive. Yuck! Plus, we slept very uncomfortably. (Ok, let's not push it... I really didn't have access to an iron people!)
Glacier National Park, itself, was also repulsive. We saw ugly sights and totally ordinary animals. And, we definitely did NOT enjoy playing in snow in shorts and sandals --- we prefer bitter coldness. We DID, however, LOVE hiking eight miles in bear country. We hear bears are very friendly and not dangerous at all. At least it had unimpressive views!
Obviously, we pretty much HATED Montana. We did nothing fun, but if you'd like to look at more of our boring pictures you can see our Photobucket album here. ;)
