This was supposed to be a trip to Glacier National Park. It was supposed to happen the beginning of June. Then Covid intervened. And maybe some winter road damage? For whatever reason, the park, including the lodge where we had reservations, decided not to open until mid-June. They were able to reschedule us for July 4th weekend. Only, then they canceled, saying they weren’t going to open at all this season.
Except we already had a road trip plan.
And Steve is going stir crazy at home.
So slightly revised itinerary and we are off. In this era of pandemic we take Clorox wipes into the rest stop. I forgot it at the hotel room, but Medora, North Dakota is not exactly a hot spot for the virus.
Today was a long day driving across Minnesota and North Dakota. I had started this hat at home, but finished it in the car and started another.
We ate Hormel Compleats for dinner. Not bad considering they can sit on your shelf indefinitely and you warm them in the microwave. Pickled beets for a veg. Fruit salad portions and ginger snaps for dessert.
Tomorrow Steve and I plan to hike in Theodore Roosevelt National Park while Mom gets up at her leisure. We will bring breakfast up to her so she doesn’t need to go into the breakfast room. It has limited seating and you have to wear gloves to touch the utensils. We’ll see how that goes.
