Day 5

So day 5 was pretty uneventful. We drove from Billings, MT to St. Mary, MT, which is situated at the Eastern entrance to Glacier National Park. It was a fairly short drive, by our standards, just under 400 miles. There really isn't much of anything to see in Montana. The scenery along the roads we drove was pretty much the same the entire way ... VAST tracts of land, with cattle and hay bales scattered about everywhere. It's amazing how similar the scene was, over the course of the entire drive, with the exception of the last 20 miles. That's when we started to encounter mountains and trees.

We arrived at our campground, which unfortunately, left a little to be desired, but it will be fine. We've set up "for the long haul", as we'll be here for five nights. The weather forecast is not looking too great this week ... a little colder and rainier than usual. We've set up our extra canopy over the tent, to provide greater protection from the rain. 

Tomorrow, we'll head into the park, though we have no particular plan as of yet. After five days of driving, I think we'll probably take things a little on the easy side tomorrow. Maybe a short hike, and some time spent getting some info together for the days to come.

That's about it for tonight, we'll check back in tomorrow.
