Returning from Glacier NP to Heceta Head Lighthouse-1

We are happy to be volunteering again at Heceta Head Lighthouse and Washburne SP, where we lived in May and June.  Our friends from Oregon State Parks Training, Susie and Mike, are Campground Hosts and we are assisting them and hosting on their days off. It is great to be working together as a team!!  On Tues. a tour group of 50 home schooled students, ages 5-16 years, will be visiting the Lighthouse so Susie and I will help out there.  Interesting!

I have to include some photos of our travels after Glacier and at Yellowstone, so here are a few favorites.  More will follow in each update for a while.

This is Freezeout Lake south of Choteau, MT on the Rocky Mt. Front.  Camping here is free on this Montana Fish and Game Refuge.  It hosts thousands of geese and swans in early spring.  It is a very, very beautiful place!

Sunset there was so Big Sky Montana!

The next day we went to Great Falls, MT to visit the Charlie M. Russell Museum.  If you are ever near, don't miss a visit!  We would have both returned the next day if time had allowed.  His art from bronzes, to oils, watercolors and illustrated letters to friends was so much more than the "cowboy" art we see most often.  The museum includes his home and studio.

 Our reservation at Yellowstone kept us on the move to a site on the Madison River south of Ennis, the fly-fishing capital of the world.  ( A neat little fishing resort in the middle of nowhere with an artsy fly-fisher statue at the edge of town.)  Another one on the list of Must Return Someday.  We were only 1 of 2 campers here at Ruby Creek, a BLM site, with the river gurgling behind us.  Loved it!
