Wallace, Idaho to Glacier National Park

This post begins an epic adventure for us – our first international trip with the Bambi. With very little planning, and a less than stellar weather forecast…we were off! First stop, Wallace, Idaho!

Wallace was just an overnight stop for us. Basically a place to pull off and sleep. Todd read that the RV park we had reserved, shared a parking lot with the only microbrewery in town…sounded like a winner. If nothing else, we knew we’d have good food and beer. Although Wallace is a small place, it’s a place we’ve always wanted to stop and check out. We’re usually zooming by at freeway speeds on the way to South Dakota to visit my parents, and this trip gave us a reason to stop and explore for a bit. It’s a cute town. Sadly, it’s pretty quiet these days…even during the Huckleberry Festival.

Pulling into Wallace was quite memorable. As we turned down main street we were greeted by several Storm Troopers making their way down the street. We thought that was odd, until we noticed that Darth Vader and Chewbacca were following right behind. We found out later that the local theater was putting on a Star Wars play…sadly we just missed it. That would have been fun to see. We set up camp with just enough light left to wander the downtown area a bit before eating dinner and turning in.

It was a fun night!

Next stop was Glacier National Park…..

Our spot in the “RV Park” …not our typical accommodations!

We were basically situated across the street from the freeway…but it was still rather scenic!

The old train station in downtown Wallace.

How neat is this!

Too bad we weren’t in need of laundry services yet…this place was kind of neat!

Darth Vader probably was right at home on the streets here.

Ready to take off early in the morning as they were closing the streets for the big Huckleberry Parade!

Neat old Texaco Station.

On our way….
