Wow, this has been a trip of a lifetime. We picked up our RV on Friday and hit the Walmart! After an hour of shopping and then unpacking in the parking lot, we were ready for our adventure. After a driving lunch and an ice cream in the cute town of Red Lodge, we drove towards the Beartooth Scenic Highway which would take us over the pass and into Yellowstone.

I truly have never seen mountains like I saw on the pass. Hubert drove and the girls and I sat in the front seat with our mouths on the floor. We had never seen anything so beautiful. The sides of the road were stacked high with snow and we went above the tree line. At the top, is a ski lift where the Olympic skiers practice in the summer. I felt like we were in the Swiss Alps. It was more beautiful than we ever imagined!! A drive like that certainly puts things in perspective, we are so small compared to God’s Glory!

The drive was long, but we never got tired of it. We stopped often and enjoyed each view. We never stopped looking in amazement. The girls never once looked at an IPod or played a game. Around 6:00, we pulled into our first campsite at Hunter’s Peak. It was a small (only 6 sites) campsite on a gorgeous river. It was a rustic site, so no hookups (which was fine with us as we had no clue how to handle). We hiked around, explored our site and cooked our dinner of chicken, mac and cheese and salad. It was getting cold so we ate in the RV. Sitting at the table brought back wonderful memories of camping with my grandparents. It was so homey and peaceful. The river flowing next to us and the sound of nature around us. We fell asleep happy and ready for our adventure to begin.
