Libby, MT to Whitefish, MT
161 miles today (14,996 – 15,157)
1148 miles total
I left the Libby, MT RV park at 9:15 AM. I did not sleep well, and don’t know why.
The night at Pearrygin State park, and this place both had coin operated showers! Good grief! What does the fee cover if not hot water for a shower?
The trip to Whitefish was less than 130 miles. The additional 31 miles were spent exploring the town and riding part way up to Glacier Nat’l Park. It’s only about 30 miles to the park entrance. It was almost 3PM when I had lunch at the Red Caboose diner in downtown Whitefish, MT. I had an “elk burger” and was surprised at its taste. It wasn’t gamey like I thought it might be. Whitefish downtown is a very tourist oriented town. There were lots of little shops with the usual tourist “stuff” and souvenirs.
I stopped at the Sportsman’s Warehouse to look at whatever they have. It turned out to be more clothing than sporting goods or camping gear. Tomorrow I’ll ride into Glacier Nat’l Park. In the meantime I’ll rest, swim, journal, work on the laptop, etc.
The KOA here has a pizza restaurant as part of the camp. There is wireless service here.
I’ll catch up on email, etc. On a funny note, as I pulled in shortly after noon, an RV was pulled in to register at the office. As a young guy stepped out, I noticed the OSU Beavers shirt he had on. I hollered at him “Go Ducks!” and kind of took him by surprise. His dad (?) came over and we visited a bit. They were from Eugene for a wedding in Whitefish on Saturday. Several of them came over he said. He knew of Royal Awards. Said they’d bought things there through the years. You can run but you can’t hide!

Way to antagonize people at the KOA by yelling "Go Ducks!" at them... sounds like something I would do, not you!
Donna, at the accountant's office, was glad to hear that!!
