Since Montana is the fourth largest state in the union we divided the drive with two stops. Of course we made the drive a bit longer by going through North Dakota in order to fill that state in on our map! The first stop was in a town called Glendive, MT at an RV park called Riverview. Sounds nice doesn't it? Well as Peg says "Put the emphasis on 'Dive'". We were supposed to stay two nights to give us time to rest up and grocery shop, but after we pulled into our site adjacent to a train depot - not just tracks mind you, a depot; we quickly ran to the grocery store, moved all of our future reservations up a day and made preparations to head back out the next morning. By the next morning we couldn't get out of there fast enough. The train depot was active all night long with engines running and whistles blowing. Truly unbelievable.
Taken from our door without zoom!
The drive from Glendive to Havre, MT was easy and the Evergreen campground was a pleasant surprise. I backed into our nice private site with only one surprise - we were missing a tire! Somewhere between getting gas in Glasgow and arriving in Havre we had another blow out or should I say "blow off". We didn't see or hear anything, but the tire was completely gone. We called Good Sam Roadside Assistance AGAIN and they sent out Whalen Tires very promptly. We decided to have both tires on that side replaced as a safety measure and Justin said it was a good thing because the remaining tire was definitely showing wear. Luckily there was no additional damage this time and the rim was held off the ground by the remaining tire. We went searching for the scene of the blow out trying to find our tire laying by the side of the road somewhere and could not find where it happened so I must have been driving tireless for quite a while. So, the next time you see a 5th wheel driving down the road missing one of their 4 tires please try to get someone's attention. We would have appreciated a "hey lady did you know you were missing a tire"? We enjoyed our two night stay and rested up for the remaining drive to Glacier National Park.

Hay There and Everywhere!
Are we there yet?
Blow out number three. You can see what is left of the tire on the rim.
Evergreen true to it's name
