The start of day four is cold! I’ve been at Glacier National Park since Tuesday evening and last night brought two thunderstorms with rain and hail and wind. Exciting until this morning when I had to pack up a wet rain fly and damp tent.
However, two other great adventures were had prior to the storms. The first was my visit to Wallace, Idaho to see the Mummified Mermaid. Isn’t she beautiful?!
Wallace also claims to be the Center of the Universe. There is even a sign saying so, therefore it must be true. Got off the interstate to see the Savenac Historic Tree Nursery and stumbled across this place. Great milkshake and Rainier Cherries.
I now have a full appreciation of why Montana is called Big Sky Country. I’ve never seen a sky like it! Stayed at the Timber Wolf Resort and Campground. Great location, about nine miles out of Glacier National Park; fantastic hosts. I highly recommend this place. Not only do you miss the crowds in the park campgrounds, but you’ll have the opportunity meet some pretty nice folks.
The second great adventure was my hike to Avalanche Lake. Alas, I’ve miles to drive. Another post later in the day.

Thanks for the sweet serene shots of glorious nature and your delightfull smile!!
Such a gorgeous journey. So happy to share!
The mermaid is beautiful. I had no idea such a thing even existed.
Roadside America is a great site for finding obscure or unusual Americana! It’s also where we found Carhenge and the Koolaid Museum when you and I traveled from NC to OR.
