(written on the 28th from notes taken previously) It's a pretty cool spot. I haven't been to the spring where it all bubbles out of the ground, but it seems to be a fairly significant amount of water that bubbles out of the ground maybe just a couple of miles or so upstream. After breakfast, … Continue reading 2024-10-23 (Wednesday) — House Building

(written on October 28th from notes taken previously) I totally spaced the fact that we were staying at this rest area and not a truck stop. Originally, we had been planning on staying at a truck stop, so I wasn't thinking about needing to get gas. But then we ended up going a different way, … Continue reading 2024-10-22 (Tuesday) — Big Heads, Hot Springs

(written on the 28th from notes taken previously) Definitely grateful to have been able to stay at that rest area overnight. Just makes it simpler. Not to mention, this rest area was freaking awesome. It was huge. Warm bathrooms. Just... nice. First stop of the day was in Great Falls, Montana. Last time, we just … Continue reading 2024-10-21 (Monday) — Montana Travel Day

(written on the 27th from notes taken previously) We woke up relatively early. Church wasn't going to start until 10, so I did my thing (YouTube, news, politics, sports, etc) until my mom got ready for church, and then i just continued doing the same all the way until she finished the church meetings. I … Continue reading 2024-10-20 (Sunday) — Waterton, Reprise

(Written on the 27th from notes taken previously) We got going a lot later today than we did yesterday, which was fine, just... was. Gratefully, the vent flap bandaid fix survived the night without any problems. 🥳 It was still super windy in the morning, though not as insane as last night. This time, I … Continue reading 2024-10-19 (Saturday) — Kananaskis, Pt. 2

(written on October 27th from notes taken previously) My poor mom was cold last night. Apparently the crazy, and also very cold, wind was being funneled down right on top of her, from the vent to her bed. 🥶 She didn't want to wake me up because she knows how hard it can be for … Continue reading 2024-10-18 (Friday) — Kananaskis

(written on the 26th from notes taken previously) Whoops! Apparently the recreation site we stayed at last night was a day-use only area. 😅 One would think it would have been hard to miss, it was in huge letters right at the top of the sign going in... Except the sign was perpendicular to the … Continue reading 2024-10-17 (Thursday) — Still a Chance?

(written on July 25th from notes taken previously) Waking up at the Wapta Falls recreation site was similar to waking up at Mount Adams last week: The clouds were low, the mountains socked in, then and this morning. At Mount Adams, I caught brief glimpses of the cone, and here, I caught some glimpses of … Continue reading 2024-10-16 (Wednesday) — Lussier Hot Springs

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) After I woke up, I again just wanted to spend some time alone. The mountains were still socked in with clouds and mist and what not, but I was able to take a few pictures of beautiful scenery that was below the cloud level. I went over … Continue reading 2024-10-15 (Tuesday) — Echoes of New Zealand

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) The morning in the campground was peaceful. I noticed an owl had perched itself on the branch of one of the evergreen trees surrounding our little campsite. I grabbed the bear spray and headed down to take a walk at the river, in the hopes of seeing … Continue reading 2024-10-14 (Monday) — Jasper
