We went 2500 mile to
get from Johnston to Colorado Springs this year. Also it took about
a week to get there. Obviously we did not go by the most direct
route. Interested in seeing Glacier National Park, we decided to
take this detour on our way to volunteer at Glen Eyrie. As some of
my previous blogs can attest, we usually spend a few months there
every year. This year it was May and October.
Our trip to Glacier
was very enjoyable. At the beginning of the second day we were
blessed with a flat tire. I do mean blessed, really! It could have
happened on route 212 in the middle of no-where. After a short
delay in Belle Fourche, SD, we were on our way to Great Falls MT. We
celebrated our 49th anniversary there. So, on to Glacier
NP the next few days.
Unfortunately the sky was hazy due to
persistent high pressure and the smoke of many wild-fires south and
west of this region. Non-the-less it was quite the experience. On
our way south we stopped at the beautiful cathedral in Helena. We
skipped Yellowstone NP, because of time and a few previous visits to
this beautiful and exciting National Treasure.
In Wyoming we
stopped in Thermopolis, a small bubbling hot springs park area, with
free soaking in the provided pool. This was a very beautiful area as
well. Corrie's FB picture was taken here. We spend the last night
before getting to the Springs, in Laramie, WY. A nice college town
with another beautiful church building. The had there last of the
season farmers' market that evening and we enjoyed great hospitality
and fellowship.
Started our
volunteer month at Glen Eyrie on the 30th of September,
with all the work and joy that continues to bring us.
