A large part of my route to the Sugar Beet Harvest has been through Fort Peck Indian Reservation.

Traveling East for the Sugar Beet Harvest
I am driving my way across the beautiful state of Montana & the vast expanses are stunning.
Touring Glacier National Park with Sue Ann Jaffarian
The last two days have been so much fun. I received a message from author Sue Ann Jaffarian saying that she was headed to Glacier & hoped to meet up.
If you aren’t familiar with Sue Ann Jaffarian, pick up one of her books at your local library or bookstore. I began reading her Odelia Grey mystery series many years ago & it has always been one of my favorites. She began traveling full-time in her Winnebago Travato camper van four years ago. I was lucky enough to schedule her speak at my library in Calabash, North Carolina when she was in town. I learned a lot about her lifestyle & she inspired me to start my journey on the road.
Talking with Shuttle Passengers at Glacier National Park
I am down to the last two workdays in Glacier. I have met some wonderful people and want to share a couple stories.

A Year on the Road

The last three weeks have been filled with lots of people on the shuttle, so I have enjoyed seeing some of the many animals & places in the park on my days off work.

The Third Time is the Charm: Glacier National Park
It hasn’t been the easiest spring/summer this year, but it has improved by leaps and bounds. After beginning work at Yellowstone & venturing to St. Mary. Montana, I have now landed in Glacier National Park. I am living in Glacier at the Apgar Campground & working as a shuttle driver on the Going to the Sun Road.
Minuteman Missile National Historic Site Philip, South Dakota
As I continue on my journey, I am posting in chronological order until I get to my current location, Glacier National Park. Today’s post is especially appropriate for the 4th of July because it takes a look at protecting our country during the Cold War years.
Families in the far western portion of South Dakota knew there were nuclear missiles near them. There were hundreds of Minutemen missiles hidden beneath the sunflowers & wheat, the cows & the corn of America’s Great Plains during the Cold War. Minuteman Missile National Historic Site commemorates this perilous period of world history.
