September into October 2019-
If some of you guys are on another Expedition forum, you've seen this writeup there recently.
With about 6000 miles on the truck, I set out on a solo drive leaving from New York for Montana. My girlfriend didn't have as much time off as I did, so she was flying out from NY into Kalispell, MT. From there, we would both then head up to the Glacier National park area. This would be my second time driving West with the first being in a my last vehicle- a built Wrangler JKUR. The comfort and power of the PW was night and day from the jeep, and I put in long days to get out to MT in a hurry. As with the last trip, most of the drive cross country along i80 was uneventful and pretty boring. Rolling into the area of Livingston, MT. Big Sky Country- yup, I get it -
Montana definitely knows a thing or two about placing real estate-
Still en route to Kalispell, I took a pretty big detour about 7 miles into the backcountry to attempt a short hike to a lake that looked nice in some of my research. It was late in the day by the time I got to the trailhead, and I decided to make it an out and back drive instead. Bear country + hiking out in the dark= I’ll play it safe and skip this one -
