We are in the northwestern corner of Montana staying at an rv park in Libby. It is a beautiful area right on highway 2 -- the same highway 2 that runs through Minnesota, North Dakota -- all the way to the west coast. The Libby Dam in the picture is on the Kootenai River and the reservoir it creates is Lake Kookanooska. All trout waters of course -- the water is glacial. The Cabinet Mountain Range runs through this area. They call these mountains "Glacier National Park" without the tourists.
There is a lot to see and do around here so we are staying for a month. The monthly rate is always much cheaper than the daily or even weekly rate. The weather is fabulous mostly in the 80's and some 90's but it is always cool at night. During the day when it heats up we go up higher into the mountains to explore and it stays cooler there. We are just starting to sightsee and have already found lots of interesting places.
We even found a place in the national forest here that has a public gold panning area. We just checked it out and panned a little while and already found a few specks of gold. We figure if we aren't going to fish we might as well play in the "pay dirt".
