Day
64 – 7-14-15 Tuesday We departed about 7:30AM and stopped to fuel
up the motor home. Sure was good to pay less that $3.00 gallon for
diesel fuel again. The drive on highway 2 was a nice drive. We soon
departed Idaho and was in Montana. The top of Idaho is very narrow.
We
stopped at Koontenai Falls parking lot to take a break and view the
falls. We thought the falls were just a short distance from the
parking lot but it was much farther than expected so we got a good
hike but the views were well worth the effort. We have seen a number
of waterfalls on this trip but this was the largest size wise of any
of them. The Koontenai River is several hundred feet wide and there
were all kinds of rock ledges that the water was rushing over and
around. The view was quite stunning. Some distance down the river was
a swinging bridge over the river. We walked to the swinging bridge. I
walked out a few feet just far enough to get some good photos but
Lena didn't want anything to do with the swing bridge. This is not
our “cup of tea”.
There
were some nice ranches and small towns along this route. More what we
have envisioned Montana to look like than what we saw when in May.

We
stopped at Columbia Falls RV Park and checked into site 48. We will
be here two nights. We tried to get three nights but there was not a
site open for three consecutive nights. This is a really well managed
RV Park. Nice sized sites with nice green grass and some young trees
between the sites. Exceptionally clean RV Park. The lady in the
office was very nice. She told us about the butcher shop just outside
the park to get fresh meat and also gave us a good plan for visiting
Glacier National Park tomorrow. We visited the butcher shop and got
some meat.
We
took the Jeep to an automated car wash in town and gave it a nice
bath. It sure needed it. So does the motor home but will wait on it
to we get farther down the road. While in town we went to Pizza Hut
and got that personal pan pizza we wanted to get in Jasper Ablerta.
This was the nicest Pizza Hut we have ever been in.
