As said yesterday, having a full hookup is a real treat. It\u2019s wonderful to know that there are no consequences to using the water and sewer system at will. You can turn on the hot water heater and just bask in its pitiful 6 gallon capacity wonderfulness. Doing the dishes becomes a tolerable job. Wiping up counters and bathrooms with a wet cloth becomes less stressful because you know that you don\u2019t have to stop by the dump station before you leave the campground. Consequently, by flushing the toilet for a few seconds (vs. ASAP) you know that the waste is completely gone, forever\u2026 We appreciate flush toilets so much these days\u2026 That camper shined by the time we pulled onto the road in the afternoon!<\/p>\n<p>The smoke today was really bad. The worst we\u2019ve seen. The drive would have been incredibly beautiful as we drove the shore of Flathead Lake for over 50 miles. Sadly we didn\u2019t have one picture taking opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>We pulled into Whitefish Lake State Park to disaster. Our campsite had no cell signal and our campsite was about 30 feet from a rail line as the crow hops (not even a crow would fly that far). There is a movie above that Kelly captured as the train went by our site. This isn\u2019t going to work\u2026 at\u2026 all\u2026 but it\u2019s late enough at night with paid reservations that this will have to do for tonight. Sad too. The second picture above is the beach and lake that is about 50\u2019 from our trailer this evening.<\/p>\n<p>We dumped the trailer in the site and went to McDonalds for free wifi to figure out where to go from here. We had two nights booked in this campground. Not sure if we\u2019ll ever see the $33 fee for night number two refunded. After some quick \u2018recalculating\u2019 we decided to head back south to Flathead Lake and the little town of Bigfork. The Wayfarer\u2019s State Park Campground looks like a winner but we would need to score a First Come \u2013 First Served site.<\/p>\n<p>During the night, passing trains actually shook us back and forth in our beds. Long, long freight trains went by, on average, every 58 minutes. Yes, Kelly was awake enough to do the math.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tripometer \u2013 5131 mi Gas Gauge \u2013 413.876 gal Location \u2013 Whitefish Lake State Park, Whitefish, MT Lodging \u2013 $33 (Or maybe 66?)
