Wrapping up our visit to Glacier and moving on to Missoula Montana

On Sunday the 27th, we wrapped up our visit to Glacier national park by checking out Apgar Village and the visitors center doing a little souvenir shopping and a visit to the Canada visitors center! On Monday the 28th, we packed up camp and started to head towards Missoula Montana. While making our way to Missoula, we made a stop at the National Bison Range which is located between Hungry Horse and Missoula. This location has a 'Visitors center' and a drive through park similar to what Eric remembers as 'Lion Country Safari' when he was a kid. The National Bison Range allows you to drive among the Bison and up close and personal with them. as we drove along the route, there was a lot of open range to be seen. We understand that since the park opened during the Teddy Roosevelt administration in 1908 when only 100 Bison remained. Today, the park maintains about 350 to 400 bison on year round.

Annually, there are anywhere from 50 to 100 baby Bison that are born in the park. The park holds a round up every year that results in some of the heard being relocated to other Refuges across the country. Today, the drive takes you near a river where you can frequently locate the Bison. We were fortunate to see many bison and found that they frequently walk between the cars passing through. Rex was pretty excited about all of the bison around him and was barking up a storm. We had to get him to be quiet, because we were concerned a bull bison might decide to take us on.

After we finished our visit to the National Bison range, we continued our trip on to Missoula and Jim and Mary's RV park. We arrived at Jim and Mary's RV park around 4:00 PM. This is a beautiful RV park on the north end of Missoula Montana. The grounds here are well maintained and the sights are nice and roomy. Some of the sites are shady and others are in full sun. It is easy to navigate through the park with the RV. This is a great park for those of us with dogs of discriminated breeds. They don't exclude based on breed, just behavior. The Wi-Fi is a little marginal, primarily because people stream video over their network, even though they ask you not too.

We had a great dinner at the Blue Canyon Kitchen and Tavern. We had a great steak, with Mashed potato's and vegetables. Our trip continues to go great! We are having a wonderful time enjoying our trip on the road.

Safe Travels all!
