About Me
- Terry - June
- Florida, United States
- June and I retired in June, 2004 and travelled for a year on our boat from Lake Michigan to Florida, then North on the East Coast through Canada, back to Southern Lake Michigan. It was the most amazing trip we have ever taken and one that will be tough to beat. We settled in Florida in the fall of 2005. On April 3rd, 2011, we departed in our Motorhome for the "BIG 2011 PLAN" We've now completed an 18,000 mile, 6 month drive from home in Florida to Northern California, North on the Pacific west coast to Seattle. From there to Alaska - with returning stops in Spokane, Washington - Oregon, Yellowstone, and other sites - then to Fort Wayne, Indiana to visit family, then back South to Florida and home. We have now traded in our motor home and purchased a new 5th wheel travel trailer and truck to continue travelling as long as life will allow. We will keep you informed as much as practical on our new site: www.Rainwatertravel.blogspot.com

7-16, 17 - Glacier National Park - Montanna
We arrived at Glacier National Park Apgar Campground near the West Entrance to the park. There is a 21 ft. overall vehicle length size limit for taking the drive over the mountain through the park, so we took the free bus shuttle up to Logan Pass and down the other side to St. Mary's and back to our camp by 5:00 P.M. Due to Global warming trends, it is estimated the glaciers will all be gone here by the year 2019. That's really too bad, but does not really affect the natural beauty of this park. When history repeats, in a few hundred thousand years or less, the glaciers will be back.
After a great day in the park, we retired to a park restaurant and had some Huckleberry Cobler A-la-mode, then to the ampitheater for a ranger talk about animals in the park - all those we had seen during the day, plus some we didn't see....
